    I want to say he'll be the 2019 ROY winner, but you just can't predict baseball, as they say. I think he'll get every chance to succeed, and he'll probably whack two dozen homers and play an adequate first base, before delivering a clutch game-winning triple in a late September game against the Marlins that makes everyone realize that you know what, he's quietly had a really great season and he *should* be the 2019 ROY winner after all.

    I'm pretty sure he'll break camp as the second lefty in the pen.

    =Fman99 post_id=2708 time=1549851332 user_id=86] Not us. I did read on the Mets official site that there's a chance the big league team plays a game here in the 'Cuse sometime in the stretch between departing PSL and opening day. Which would be fucktacular.

    =MFS62 post_id=2692 time=1549826509 user_id=60] Which leads to a question. If a player cannot perform because of mental illness for a short period of time (unlike Cleveland first baseman Tony Horton, who never came back from a breakdown) is he injured or disabled? Later OE: Or should this be moved to the re-naming of the DL thread?

    I'm going to be in Scotland at the end of June and thought about trying to make it down to London for the MLB series, but eff that.

    Phillip or Phil? Chasen Bradford says Phillip. Chase Bradford says Phil. Not to be confused with legendary ad executive Philip Phil. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RTJdFtU7i0c/WR_iWlSiQGI/AAAAAAAAA50/xBZaKG05mW4tivTYG08Vd0UFeXJkRONbwCK4B/s1600/PhillipPhil.jpg>

    Seven innings again fundamentally changes the game. I get the benefits, but I hate it more than I hate the DH.

    Was not Nick Evans, as far as I know. But I will conflate them until the end of time.

    But it's artificial strategy. (I mean, I guess all rules are "artificial," whatever, but still.) And if you have to put an additional artificial injury qualifier on it so people don't abuse it, then what's the point?

    There should be an option on the main page when you log in to re-up your membership. (Did it go up? Thought it was ten bucks last year.)

    I hate rules that fundamentally change the game. Outlawing shifts? Fuck that. Multi-batter minimums? Fuck that. DH? Fuck that. The intentional walk thing bothered me, but whatever, I guess. The number of times something zany happens on an intentional walk is minimal. I do like the mound visit rule. You want to add a roster spot? Sure, go for it. Pitch clock? Sure, go for it. Earlier trade deadline? Sure, whatever.

    Seems like a really genuine, likable guy. Looks like an accountant.

    Both Sunday nights are equally terrible for me, because I'm traveling all week that week in the middle. So whatever works for everyone else is good by me.

Friend - 3480 1/3 IP 2. Wilbur Cooper (1912-24) - 3199 IP 3. Babe Adams (1907-26) - 2991 1/3 IP 4. Vern Law (1950-67) - 2672 IP (FWIW, their active leader appears to be Jameson Taillon at 428 2/3, so Bob's record is pretty safe.)

    This seems really encouraging.
  17. seawolf17
    Fine, you fuckers. I'm in.

    I'm a little upset that protesters flew the Trump Baby Balloon, but honestly, America's in a rough spot internationally right now, so I get it.

    This is incredible work, all around. So proud of our staff.
  21. seawolf17
    Yeah, I saw you made me an offer but it was gone by the time I got to it. No interest, regardless - I'm pretty much tapped out on the top end.

    A Boy Named Seo wrote: Looks like the background is blurred in all those new Topps cards. Wonder if they instagram filtered the entire set is like that? Yes, that kind of focus been the photo style the past few years. I hadn't thought about these borders making the cards eminently flippable, but yeah, they would if they're team-color dependent. They haven't appeared in any of my local stores yet, so I don't have a true point of reference. This design is *very* 1982. The late 80s sets, for all their weaknesses, made color match flipping a really easy game to learn and play.
  23. seawolf17
    Topps likes to put some sort of border feature on the flagship set, because it allows them to make colored parallel cards and it makes the chrome set this summer a little brighter too. (At least that's my impression.)

    =41Forever post_id=1790 time=1548387539 user_id=69] I just completed my 1970 set today. Nolan Ryan, No. 712, was he last one. The Heritage cards look nice.

I won't be within 200 miles of Cooperstown next July, though. I'd say "me neither," but Rochester appears to be juuuust less than 200 miles from Cooperstown.
