Would you groove a pitch to Albert Pujols?
Keep in mind Denny McLain did to Mickey Mantle (even told him what was coming) back in 1968.

I don't think Downing grooved it or telegraphed what was coming.Originally posted by Kepler View Post
Heck, McLain waved at The Mick, told him what was coming and asked where did he want it.

Seems like a managerial error, in light of the fact that Judge has 55 HR, 118 RBI and 110 runs scored, while the rest of today's NY lineup has a total of 27 HR, 120 RBI and 144 runs scored, batting a collective .230.Originally posted by JF_Gophers View Post
Edit. Torres now goes deep as well to tie the game.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.Comment

I was going to go to the Twins game this coming Sunday but I just can't support this team by buying a ticket until they prove they give a rip about beating teams besides Kansas City and the White Sox. I realize it won't matter to the owners but **** them.Comment

Not sure which is worse Twins leading the Tigers 10-6 in their series, or the Twins only leading the Tigers 10-6 in their series.Originally posted by Slap Shot View PostLet's Go Broncos!Comment

New rules. The gist:
Major League Baseball passed a sweeping set of rules changes it hopes will fundamentally overhaul the game, voting Friday to implement a pitch clock and ban defensive shifts in 2023 to hasten the game's pace and increase action.

Obvious:
Pitch clock! Whatever time they decided on, cut it in half.
Robot umps for strikes.
End Interleague.
Replace the Homerun Derby with a MLB-wide Old Timers Day.
GET RID OF THE MAN ON SECOND, FOREVER, FFS!!!
Do despite the whining:
Get rid of the DH in both leagues.
Eliminate all trips to the mound except for injuries. You don't need to talk to to the reliever.
Keep the 3 batter rule; expand it to 6.
Allow any shift, batters can adjust or die.
32 teams, 4 x 8 team divisions, no wild cards.
My radical changes:
100-game RS with no games before 4/15 or after 9/15.
7-inning games.

I liked the WC when it was 2 per league. Then they have to play an extra round to get to where the division winners are. 1 WC didn't make sense, you placed them at the same stage as division winners. 3 WCs doesn't make sense, one of the division winners is penalized. If there are 4 divisions, then yes, just division winners, since there's no way to fit WCs in correctly.Originally posted by joecct View Post

I'd be ok with getting rid of the DH, but I enjoy inter-league play.
In my dream world they'd reduce the regular season from 162 games to 150 which would allow them to shorten the season 2 calendar weeks, and then also remove the WC round, with the Divisional series including the 2nd place team with the best record.Comment
