    FTFY.

    Dick is mentioning what I was going to mention. Benji Molina broke his wrist on that play. I felt bad for him.

    I would have given this post 10 likes if that were allowed.

    Each team would play 140 games just to establish seeding? The regular season would be basically a 5-month long spring training.

    Putting a limit on foul balls means one team gets an unearned advantage. Should the pitcher be rewarded because the batter was unable to hit a fair ball or should the batter be rewarded because the pitcher was unable to get the batter out? I think the answer should be neither. Keep the rule as is.

    Interesting idea, but no major sports league is set up that way.

    This should significantly improve the quality of play in the major league game so I'm in favor. Except if my favorite team would be eliminated.

    Finally got around to reading this. Many of the joke posts were entertaining but I'm only going to post my serious opinions and respond only to what I view as serious opinions. I used to be against the unbalanced schedule but now I think it should remain. Balancing the schedule would mean more long trips crossing more time zones for the teams on the coasts, giving teams in the central time zone an unfair advantage. Electronic pitch calling is significantly superior to human pitch calling. (I admit this is a fact, not an opinion, but I'm saying it anyway.) It should be introduced post haste so that pitchers and batters are properly rewarded for their performance. No pitch clock but I would compromise: the pitch clock would be used only when the bases are empty, would not start until the batter is in the batter's box, and would be used only if there is a batter clock as well. No restrictions on pitching substitutions. No restrictions on positioning fielders (other than abiding by the rule that only the catcher is allowed to be positioned in foul territory). I'll group these four together: larger strike zone, lower mound, longer distance from the pitching rubber to home plate, softer (not heavier or more airflow-resistant) baseballs. This would result in fewer strikeouts, fewer bases on balls and fewer home runs. Makes for a better game. No more than 5 postseason teams per league.

    Warning: nitpick alert. My pet peeve has finally reached the point where I can't not say something. Tyler Duffey has been in the Twins organization for nearly ten years now since being drafted on June 6, 2012. Ten years! Yet that doesn't seem to be a long enough time for people to learn to spell his name. Pay attention, now. D-U-F-F-E-Y. There is an E between the second F and the Y. It's not difficult, and moreover it's just common courtesy to spell someone's name correctly. Thank you for letting me rant, and my apologies for airing this probably trivial complaint. No offense intended.

    What, you mean wake up every two hours and cry?
  11. Nine of twelve
    One atom of the ball touched the strike zone. Which is all that is required.
  12. Nine of twelve
    Had it all the way. No worries.?
  13. Nine of twelve
    Why must it be like this?
  14. Nine of twelve
    The Twins acquired Reardon in a trade.

    I get it that pitchers' duels are good baseball in theory. The point of view that good pitching will control good hitting is widely accepted as being true. But I'd still rather see our offense score 6 runs a game.

    If that's the case then his Canadian ERA of 11.81 would actually be 118.1 US.

    Sometimes players feel fine, or say they do, but they aren't fine. There are too many examples to mention of players returning to action before medical problems have resolved, only for a recurrence or exacerbation to occur, making the wait for return to productivity even longer.
  19. Nine of twelve
    I hope so, because if the game does not end in an out it means a walk-off win for the home team.

    There is a wide spectrum of injuries that are less severe than structural damage (a tear or a fracture) but more severe than a bruise. I'm not a medical doctor, however, I do have some training and awareness in medicine and health care. And I'll make an educated guess that Tony Oliva would have had a longer and more productive career with today's medical care than he did with what was available 50-60 years ago.

    We need Heezy to enlighten us. But my guess is that when they say no structural damage that means no tears or fractures, just inflammation.

    Did anyone ever wake up Squirrel?

    The new freshman at Harvard approached another student and asked, "Where is the library at?" The other student said, "This is Harvard. We don't end sentences with prepositions here." So the freshman said, "All right. Where is the library at, *******?"

    Those two are extreme outliers. Citing them as typical is cherry-picking, rendering the analysis unreliable.
