  1. You can't just fire someone from the union.
  2. I'm still struggling to understand how a higher strike zone improves the game. It's not going to improve pace, casuals don't really give a s*** and it may slightly enhance the entertainment value of the 1% who are OCD about every single call being exactly right. To me it's the equivalent of the NHL having 3 guys upstairs calling every penalty they see, because heaven forbid someone faces some adversity.
  3. How in the f*** does an automatic walk become a delay of game? Automatic walks and returning to the dugout after a home run are not even even in the same realm of baseball discussion. Which is what I am arguing. Plus, how many homeruns are no doubters? I'd wager that to be about 25%.
  4. Elaborate on what? Preferring the human element to a robot? The whole argument that hitters need to know the strike zone is garbage to me. We're literally talking about halves of inches 90% of the time. Acting like the strike zone fluctuates so dramatically every game that guys don't know what to expect is completely overblown. Leave the game alone, it's fine as it is. Hitting 101: if the ball is on the plate (even the corner) it's a strike. Sometimes you'll get lucky and it won't be called one! But if you have two strikes, you better protect.
  5. Except when their salaries are cut because all they are is a relay from a computer to the game.
  6. How do you know it will improve the game? And you don't have to ask them but I guarantee they'll let their voices be heard. Twitter is a thing. It's usually in a business' best interests to keep employees happy. Yes, they could say f*** all of you and implement it but that would be met with outrage.
  7. I really don't care if they implement this, but if their reasoning is to reduce the length of games someone needs to have their head examined.
  8. Except it's not, for a couple of reasons: a) the homerun is one of the games most exciting plays. Eliminating the excitement of that would be a colossal mistake. in order for the run from a home run to count, you actually have to physically touch each base. So by this logic, a home run would actually become an out.
  9. I agree with most of what you've said ITT over the last 24 hours. I proudly sing our National Anthem whenever it's played. It has nothing to do with the length of game anyway since it's not broadcasted on TV- the audience that the length of the game effects. Nobody is going to stop going to MLB games because they sing the National Anthem and conversely, I could see Americans taking a stand and boycotting parks if that was to ever take shape. Patriotism is great- it's what has always made me such a big fan of the United States.
  10. Well I enjoy watching the best players in the world f*** up 70% of the time, so sure.
  11. I understand that they aren't going to deploy some cyborg-esque statue behind the back catcher to call balls and strikes. I enjoy the way the game is played now and much prefer the human element as opposed to a robotic one. Plus, there will be huge resistance from the Players and Umpires alike. I don't see it happening and hope it never comes to fruition. This is coming from someone who will probably never get over the strike called on Ben Revere vs KC in the ALCS. It's part of the game.
  12. I never ever want to see robo umps.
  13. Cool! BTS will be happy
  14. GD the bigger winner of the night. Chocolate Thunder come on down!
  15. Khris Davis would hit fifty bombs in the RC!
  16. Yup. Tampa has seemed like the logical spot for CCC for a while now, especially with Miller presumably moving to second full time.
  17. Wow I'll be getting my grubby hands in here
  18. Agreed! I was going to say the same thing.
  19. Fangraphs Audio Rotographs- Sleeper and the Bust CBS Fantasy Baseball Today ESPN Fantasy Focus Baseball America podcasts The 2080 organizational reviews are good too like NJH said.
  20. 19. Brendan Rodgers 41. Isan Diaz 42. Braxton Garrett 46. Yadier Alvarez 63. Ian Happ 68. Kyle Lewis Bregman top 5 and Contreras top 30 if they were eligible I'd guess. Could still use a crown jewel at the top, for this bottom feeder team.
  21. So do your posts.
