    And the manager a former cricket coach named Ned Jasso from London who is having a mid life crisis

    Agreed with the need for more plays, not sure the BB adds plays, just runners. I don’t think it gets that done, and it potentially lengthens the game. what if fouls in excess of the limit that doesn’t reach the seats, it’s considered “in play”? Goes to the backstop, into the nets, or down the foul line, it’s in-play. edit to add: if the foul in excess of limit reaches the seats or inside the dugout, strike 3.

    Agreed, my greatest concern was the rotation and so far the rotation has been the strength of the team. However, they are on pace for 65 wins (compared to your 70 win estimate) our estimate of How might be off, but the Outcome may not be. the 6 man rotation last year pitched a combined 558.2 innings last year. They are going to run out of horses as the marathon progresses. The bats and bullpen better start picking up the slack or 70-75 wins might be really optimistic

    That is an interesting twist, I like the idea of limiting fouls per at bat. Not sure the sac stat change would increase contact or reduce the number of fly balls, but I like the thought behind using that kind of approach to put more balls in play especially more infield balls in play. That type of change would reduce the shift and increase the number of plays per game (making it more exciting).

    Too much is made of players with unique grooming habits (long hair, odd facial hair) and teams uniform rules (jewelry, shaving). it’s all mundane

    Nothing against Rich Hill, but I hope he’s miserable today

    The article (and my comment of the article) wasn’t recommending baseball should become soccer, because no one likes baseball, as such my comment of listening to your parishioner’s doesn’t mean change the theology. Far from it. As Squirrel and IndianaTwin point out, relevance doesn’t mean truth is subjective. It means there’s more than one way to learn. Batters don’t have to swing for the fences every pitch.

    I like Arraez at DH, hopefully his 3B glove comes back around as the season progresses

    Individuals have organized for the benefits provided by the organization since the very first village huddling around a camp fire. People have never been more mobile to choose the organization they belong to. Since Henry Ford made the car affordable, people have had greater ability to choose their organization, but individuals have always been more agile than groups, and groups have always needed to provide the needs of the individuals, in order to grow new members. Case in point, baseball teams follow the data on winning games instead of the data to attract new fans. While I am a stat head, I don’t like the current brand of baseball either. Homers and strike outs might win games, but It’s boring and too long. listen to your customers and they become loyal ignore your customers and they leave. that is as old school as it comes
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    Mod note: faith and baseball is a part of our lives. Just like any topic here at TD, be thoughtful, respectful and empathetic, and we can discuss it. Break those rules and the topic will get shut down.

    That was the thrust of the article. Both organizations are stuck in the mode of “we used to attract fans/parishioners this way, it will continue to work this way, just try harder”. The kids don’t like Rock’n Roll anymore, quit trying to lure them in using rock ‘n roll. Accept it and adapt. From my own experience, the article may have missed an opportunity to identify the flaw in the comparison. The article did point out that young people want some of their life devoted to philanthropy and volunteerism, but failed to identify that in the old days church and baseball both filled a social experience need that is now filled by other things. Town ball still fills that social experience void. It’s a smaller community at an affordable price, just like Twinsdaily. MLB is neither small nor affordable, it is purely entertainment and needs to be more compelling. Church is not a social experience anymore for the youth, and isn’t entertainment. It could be an outlet for service and philanthropy, but the organizers haven’t quite figured out what that looks like. Where I agree with the article is if they both don’t figure out how to change, they are very much at risk.

    I believe it to be 2 reasons. 1) he could start again, if he’s already stretched out to 2, he could stretch out faster to 3/4/5 again pretty quickly 2) workload management for the rotation. It’s also why there’s a 6 man rotation. They do not have the horses for a full season.
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    With Garlick added to the 40 (and active roster), does that mean the Twins are out on Upton?
