I agree that regulating a single substance presents its own issues as far as regulating what is and isn't MLB approved sunscreen, but is the present proposal the lesser of two evils? Perhaps, but I don't feel confident saying that.
-
This subject is a bit more nuanced than I realised at first glance. If the issue pitchers have is not differentiating between spider tack and sunscreen and rosin than I sympathize with them. This is something that pitchers have been using for decades and if the hitters don't have a problem with it I don't see why fans should.

That sentence started out beautifully, but by the end of it I just feel kind of bummed out.
-
Grichuk up next... Yeah I'm gonna go watch E3 highlights.. -
f***
-
This season feels like it's going to be a wasted opportunity.
-
Watching the Jays bullpen is like watching the Leafs in a game 7. You hope for the best but are fully prepared for the worst.
-
Grichuk should be batting lower. He is ice cold.
-
This.
-
Until this is fixed the blame lies with Atkins. It's one thing to have a bad bullpen, but this is something else entirely.
-
I don't care that the Jays have injuries. You can't allow the bullpen to continually sabotage the rest of the team like this. The Jays need to be aggressive in trying to upgrade through trade and call ups.
-
Well then I take solace knowing that the same outcome is true across all known galaxies. Some things are just pre-destined and you can't beat yourself up about it.
-
Somewhere in the multiverse Chicago and Cincinnati are ruing the day they just missed out on Deck McGuire. I take pleasure in that.
-
Stuff plays up when it is paired with plus command and vice-versa. You also have to remember that most of these kids are still growing into their frames and are not a finished product from a stuff stand-point.
-
I vividly recall seeing posters balk at the notion of Nola as a high first rounder because of his profile as a safe SP with plus command and polish. Now I'm not saying that McGreevy is Aaron Nola, but that broad description doesn't mean he is Deck McGuire either. For whatever reason people associate 'safe' with a low floor and 'plus command' with having lesser stuff.
-
I mean if a team in the top 3 selects him. Obviously if he falls to Boston it worked.
-
It's a weird play if true since not signing with a team in the top 3 would mean re-entering a year or two from now when Boston will not be in position to draft him this high. This is to say nothing of the risks associated with turning down a large bonus offer as a SP.
-
Why do you automatically associate the word "safe" and the attributes of plus command and control with Deck McGuire? Aaron Nola was described similarly so there are a wide range of outcomes for that kind of profile.
-
It's pretty incredible that Vlad is posting the numbers that he is at the height of all of this.
-
Aren't all three of those things up, presumably due to the use of banned substances?
-
That's fair, but at what point do we accept his walk rate of over 5BB/9? From what I understand that stabilizes fairly quickly and puts the entire profile in jeopardy.
-
I've read Frazier's name thrown out a bit in rumors. Is he any good defensively?
-
To be fair Dolis doesn't have an extended track record himself. He was kind of good last year in 24 innings, albeit with serious control problems and has been objectively poor in almost the same sample this year.
-
Are there any affordable stop gap options at 3B that could be available at the deadline?
