    The current rotation in your minor league system is NOT a reason to draft pitchers.
  2. Frayed Knot
    So it's an ESPN project without the actual content being created by ESPN? Sounds like a win-win to me.

    =Fman99 post_id=71116 time=1626097070 user_id=86] These forced days off during the All Star break are just the worst. Four days with no games of consequence. In the midst of summer. The Thursday devoid of baseball is just shitty icing on the shitty cake.

    For the second time in about a week, a shitty NYM loss is partially tamed by an even worse MFY loss Mets led by five after 1 and lost. Yanx led by five after 8-1/2. This time they stayed away from Aroldis Chapman ... didn't help. 1B, 2B [out goes Domingo German, in comes Chad Green] 2B, 2B, 1B, Line-out, 3R HR (Altuve) ... thanks for coming, please arrive home safely.

    One last bad joke about his name ... When asked why he stayed at home for the draft rather than go to the draft room all duded up in a fancy suit, Kumar said it's because he's not a mod, he's a rocker.

    So Al, do you realize that if you the foresight to have a lefthanded kid he'd likely have gone 1st overall. So do you feel bad about costing him so much bonus money?

    No muss, no fuss. That's domination homes!

    First time in a while that I remember Nimmo reverting to his 'selective to a fault' habit. aka: he was trying so hard to squeeze out a walk that he watched a meatball that he simply wasn't ready for.

    If he's going to be named after two heavyweights, shouldn't this new Pittsburgh reliever Clay Holmes be more respectful and change his name to Ali Holmes?

    [answering bmfc]: Because the between innings commercials aren't causing longer games or increased dead time. And I'd welcome it but we might as well ask for a 60 or 90 second reduction. The beast needs to be fed and commercial time is its main menu.
  14. Frayed Knot
    And while I'm certainly not going to campaign against shorter inning breaks, a) it's not going to happen. But also it's not really the problem While commercial length is up from the 70s & 80s games that many of us grew up with, they haven't extended them in many years now (maybe 20? - and in fact have tried to more rigidly enforce those times in the last 2-3 season) and yet game times continue to climb each year. So the problem must obviously lie elsewhere, and while part of it seems to be pitch counts during this three true outcomes era, the most obvious target needs to be dead time when the ball is theoretically supposed to be in play. It's like baseball has slowly morphed over the years from a game where the ball was assumed to be in play unless stated otherwise, now it almost seems like the ball NOT being live is considered to be the normal state of affairs and 'live time' the exception.

    =bmfc1 post_id=70925 time=1625934866 user_id=73] Re: FK's #2... no adjustment period is needed between the BP mound and the game mound because each is pristine. This is a leftover from the olden days when the RP's warmed up on a mound in a cow pasture, or something akin to it. A pitching change is an excuse for a full TV TO but it should be 3 or 4 pitches, let's go, keep it moving.

    Back when I was first watching baseball, guys wearing #1 simply didn't hit balls that far.

    =Fman99 post_id=70880 time=1625881417 user_id=86] That was great. I sadly missed the grand salami because I was in the can/mixing a beverage.
  19. Frayed Knot
    Why not, they've got an exciting team.

    =Marshmallowmilkshake post_id=70864 time=1625880493 user_id=119] We should play more games against the Pirates.

    Even better: the TERRIBLE Nationals booth's... um... https://twitter.com/richmacleod/status/1413331747857698817?s=20description of events. Sometimes, you know, less is more. But not here. Less is just less. Yeah, make the call first. THEN if you want to wallow in the misery this caused your team go right ahead. That's certainly what Gary would do.

    I wasn't sure that was a good send with none out.

    But at least he's limiting the damage.
  25. Frayed Knot
    Walker seems determined to live up to his name tonight, and what's worse is that he keeps doing it against bottom of the lineup hitters after getting ahead in the count.
