    No. It factually speeds up games and there is evidence to that. Your entire argument is based on phony skepticism. The game was never meant to be 4 hours of standing around.
  2. TheLeviathan
    Even if Donaldson thought it was a joke....why would joking there be appropriate? You kneed him off a base and have stirred trouble for years, a joke like that isn't going to be well-received. You're at best an idiot to try and employ it there in the middle of a brawl.

    When umpires suddenly change their strike zone....you don't have time to learn it. Arraez was forced to foul off a bunch of pitches out of the zone because the umpire was calling a weird zone all of a sudden. Arraez literally did not see a strike in that entire at-bat.

    This post is several layers of stupid. There's no better way to say it. You should try less hard to be offended by racism, snowflake.
  5. TheLeviathan
    In fairness, he didn't actually see a strike the entire at-bat.
  6. TheLeviathan
    Umpire literally took that plate appearance away from Arraez.
  7. TheLeviathan
    Woof, robo umps please.

    Celestino is having a helluva game. I'm not sitting him for Buck there either. Now..when Larnach comes around again in a key spot? Yeah, then I am.
  9. TheLeviathan
    I sit on the other end of that. I'd rather rest them the same day and get as many days with both in the lineup as possible. Just my preference, no major argument or evidence behind it.
  10. TheLeviathan
    I actually don't mind the lineup. I am more irritated we left Cano in to die in a one run game. That and Kepler's putrid at-bat.
  11. TheLeviathan
    Also, what's more tried and true in baseball than the Sunday afternoon get-away lineup of scrubs?

    My concern with Donaldson was how brittle he is. The personality didn't bother me until today. https://www.bleachernation.com/cubs/2022/05/21/benches-clear-in-new-york-after-josh-donaldson-allegedly-made-a-racist-comment-toward-tim-anderson/

    Exactly. These kinds of gimmicks are necessary because Joey TwoOutcomes just adjusted his cup for the 18th time since the count moved from 1-0 to 1-1. And now Johnny FutureElbowTear just paced around the mound for a minute and a half before the next pitch was thrown. Screw these guys. Hockey players don't get to call timeout and diagnose the passing lanes. Kirk Cousins doesn't get to call timeout before he's sacked so he can read the defense. Sports are supposed to be fast paced and push the athletes. Baseball wants to pretend they're solving world hunger between every at-bat with their super cerebraly brains.

    I don't know if that question fell by the wayside, but perhaps more digging should have been done into other teams passing on him for medical reasons. I feel like the question you pose here was explored more from a "can he bounce back to the top young arm he was?" and less "is his arm good to go?" I feel like that part of it did get brushed aside a bit because, let's face it, it's hard to find a pitcher these days that doesn't have a history of arm problems. I'd like to hear more from the team about why they thought differently than the Mets on the medical side.

    I won't disagree about the way the league has sold it's soul to TV, it's baseball's biggest sin IMO. That said, I know kids who enjoy playing the game who have absolutely no interest in MLB. The product is unwatchable for them and far easier to just catch highlights later. Any business that ignores the interest level of future paying customers is almost doomed to fail, but sports especially.
  16. TheLeviathan
    It's part of it, but it's not even close to what is happening on the field. I agree with you that it's tedious to watch, but that's because the announcers have to do more and more to keep a game watchable than they ever have before. Growing up I don't recall Gordon and Carneal having to talk as much as Gladden and Provus do. They are verbally tap dancing constantly while inaction happens on the field. That's the real problem.
  17. TheLeviathan
    We discussed this in the other forum but I will say it here too: players revolting only makes me love this more. Of course it "feels" weird! You have played a decade of baseball meandering around between action.....but that is terrible for the game. It has to go.
  18. TheLeviathan
    This is objectively false. Player behavior is the driving force of game length.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Oh sweet! A new thread where we naively pretend teams don't work under budget constraints. I, for one, fault our FO most for their expedited cloning failures and long history of limited time travel.
  20. TheLeviathan
    Good process, unfortunate result so far. Anyone who judges a trade with years of outcomes undetermined is bound to look like a fool more times than not.
  21. TheLeviathan
    Is that you Beck Bradford?
  22. TheLeviathan
    Some posters here and their inspirational nonsense really need to start getting partial credit for authoring these entries.
  23. TheLeviathan
    He most assuredly did not leave a pile on the table. If this was his walk season he'd only have given the FA market yet another indication that his availability is what it is. He and his agents knew full well that this was well within the cap of what he'd earn given his circumstances.
  24. TheLeviathan
    Strib had an article today I understand why players think this is invasive: they've been allowed to change the game in a deeply problematic way for viewership. They aren't going to like it, but frankly....I don't give a damn. Every complaint they have, I find to be sweet music to my ears.
  25. TheLeviathan
    There isn't much for the potential sellers to sell, so not sure I care at this point. The team has a lot of interesting in-house options for these positions already depending on development.
