Urena gets 6 games.
So...likely just pushed back and won't even miss a start.

From what I've read Hundley has never said, Puig said Hundley told him to shut up and get back in the box and a couple of expletives. *shrugs shoulders*

If Puig squared off because of that...grow some skin.

I believe calling into question a Latino's sexuality is more egregious than talking about his mamá.

Pretty sure that is correct? Puto is an ultimate insult in Spanish. It literally means "male prostitute." However, banging many ladies is fine. So in slang it's meant as "gay male prostitute" and is supposedly banned at soccer matches as an insult.

Unless you are a fan of the Mexican National Team who yell it every time the goalie does a goal kick.

From what I've read, they've been trying to crack down on that. Puta is the feminine version, which translates to "bi*".

Kinda, El Tri has been fined and they have had the players do a PSA but they haven’t had a significant punishment.

Ok. Been trying to keep one eye on it, just for curiosity. I don't know Spanish. I've learned most of what I know from TV shows via Netflix and such. :o

A Minneapolis steakhouse gave Joe West a braile menu when he visited for dinner this week.

So? Everything in baseball comes in cycles. Let's get through this season before MLB starts making knee-jerk reactions to non-existant problems.


For example: Eliminating intentional walks. That saved how many seconds a game? Yeah, because throwing three dozen pitches to first an inning isn't a time waster.
Pitch clock between half innings. Does MLB even enforce them? Doesn't ESPN have like four minutes of commercials per half inning?
Limiting mound visits. Yep, that's really helped trim down games.

I would bet that if a study was done on the length of games this season that the shortest games are the Non-Televised or Facebook only games. Followed by regional sportsnet games. Then by FOX Saturday. Then ESPN.


I hate the "ZOMG The sky is falling!" reaction the MLB office has had these last few years.
 
Re: MLB 2018.1: ...And The Nationals Will Not Make It Out of the First Round

Television in general adds roughly 3 minutes per full inning, so 25-27 minutes per game. Players have said in the past that they need about 90 seconds per half inning to get on and off the field. TV takes ~3 minutes per half inning. There’s your biggest jump over the past 40 years or so.

Obviously we need to eliminate sliders, curveballs, cutters, split-fingered fastballs, knuckle balls, and anything else with movement.

What, too far? :D
