  1. He was almost but not quite safe enough for the call to be overturned.
  2. I never knew until recently that the web site censored posters automatically. That was fun to type.
  3. Wow, even all-stars **** up every now and then.
  4. I never use the nickname or mascot name of the Cleveland MLB team. Edit: Or the Atlanta MLB team or the Washington NFL team.
  5. Gotta be the guy at the top of the lineup.
  6. Maybe Molitor will figure this out. One game too late.
  7. Berrios is tuff. Almost as tuff as this:
  8. I really enjoy having a pitcher who can blow the other team away when need be.
  9. Not by me. There's always math everywhere.
  10. The odds can be even but the evens can't be odd. (Gotta have a little maths now and again.)
  11. If I were a manager and noticed one of my players was goofing on his phone when his job is to be involved with the game he'd quickly learn never to do that again.
  12. It's not time now and it wasn't time last August. We're not one piece away now, and we weren't one piece away last August. It is too costly now and it was too costly last August. The player doesn't want to come here now and he didn't want to come here last August. These are not excuses. These are reasons, and good ones. Will it be time at some point in the future? Will we be one piece away at some point in the future? Will the cost be acceptable at some point in the future? Will the player want to come here at some point in the future? I truly hope so.
  13. The biggest downsize of this would be that there would certainly be contraction. We'd wind up with two 8-team leagues with only the most profitable franchises surviving. It would be 1950 all over again.
  14. The challenge is to make the young demographic more interested without losing the rest of your base. If you do so much that it damages the integrity of the sport you'll lose more fans (or customers if you must say it that way) than you'll gain.
  15. Easily done in 3 simple steps. 1.) Make the strike zone larger. 2.) Lower the mound to counteract the advantage the larger zone gives the pitchers. 3.) Make the ball a little softer. The result: Batters have to swing more frequently and sooner in the count. Pitches will be easier to hit but fewer hits will go over the fence. Fewer walks, fewer strikeouts.
  16. I generally concur with the sentiments here. 4 valuable members of the lineup have been either unavailable or hampered by injury: Buxton, Sano, Mauer and Polanco. Even though it's unlikely we'll get 2006 hot I think we leave Detroit, KC and the tighty Whities far behind as the rest of the season unfolds and those players return to form. Catching Cleveland? We can only do what we can do and if they stumble there's a chance. What I really think will happen is that we will have 95+ wins in 2019.
