  1. If they don’t sub Zimmer into the OF now the decision is even weirder
  2. He’s so close to breaking out though
  3. Wait til we discover Charlie was fired because he wanted more Biggio in the OF while the front office told him not to do it and play Tapia/Zimmer instead.
  4. Not saying speeding up the game is bad thing, just that it really doesn’t change much in the way of “growing the sport”
  5. I think we can both agree there’s a myriad of reasons Baseball is not more popular, and we can probably both agree that game time/speed has almost nothing to do with it.
  6. Its f***ing lunacy that we’re running out JBJ and Tapia instead of Biggio. Front office must have a hard stance of NO BIGGIO IN THE OF
  7. September 9th Vladdy - 1 Point - Springer - 1 Point - Bichette - 1 Point - Kirk - 2 Points - JaysAllMighty Chapman - 2 Points - Jansen - 3 Points - Stangstag Bradley - 5 Points - Espinal - 6 Points - Tapia - 8 Points - Off the bench: 10 Points-
  8. Yeah I agree with this. He’s used to being the best player on the field on any given night and he’s not adjusting to the fact that he’s now hitting against some of the greatest pitchers on the planet.
  9. Speeding up the game won’t do s*** for popularity. I’ve always said the reason baseball is less popular is because there are too many games. Its also the reason football is most popular in America. Its obvious people prefer less time commitment for the sports teams they follow. Less time commitment = more casuals = more fans overall Its the reason Soccer is the most popular sport in the world
  10. They’re basically just trying to revert the game back to what it was 50 years ago. I don’t think it’s going to work, there are too many smart front offices and they will continue to find new ways to optimize their rosters and strategies in order to squeeze out the most wins.
  11. I agree, but you just KNOW that s*** will happen at least a few times in April next year
  12. Donaldson is notorious for doing this too, he kneels in front of the bag to block it. I don’t think he’s ever been penalized
  13. More like 2/30 lol
  14. Could also be more dramatic if they don't allow guys to play up the middle/behind 2nd base. I haven't seen the official rule yet
  15. I feel the shift ban is more dramatic than you are implying. Having 3 guys stacked between 2nd and 1st or 2nd and 3rd is a lot different than having 2 there and 1 guy directly up the middle. Basically having 3 guys in a 45 degree cone on the pull side vs having 3 guys in a 30 degree cone... thats a big difference on top of no infielders playing on the grass
  16. This will be for the MLB season in 2023
  17. So who makes the call in New York then? Or are Umpires just not in agreement on the rule
  18. This is scary, mods please ban
  19. Dansby is kind of a surprise because I felt he was a guy that just wouldn’t ever put it together offensively. AA was bang on with him if he tried to extend him prior to this year. The Acuna contract looks incredible at this point in time even factoring in the injuries. Albies has taken a step back but the contract was so outrageous that he’s still underpaid. Austin Riley is looking like a powerhouse. Maybe Olsen is the only questionable one so far? Seems like maybe he could age badly, but he’s still pretty young. Also interesting that AA hasn’t really signed any pitchers long-term. Its a very different approach than our FO, with the majority of our money tied to pitchers and only 1 expensive position player in Springer.
  20. That would be annoying
  21. Wtf lol. Yeha hope Biggio gets some play in the outfield if Gurriel is out
