    We’ve already had enough blown calls in that scenario

    He would have you believe he’s the victim of anti-Hispanic prejudice
  3. Aggies7
    It’s pure racism that angel hernandez hasn’t umpired a postseason game. Nothing else, just racism

    I’m about to go golfing, I think tobacco is frowned upon there too. We’re persecuted I tell ya!
  5. Aggies7
    You stop it

    I personally wouldn’t do it at a game if I were sitting next to someone for that very reason. But I’m not going to get someone removed or make a complaint if somebody was doing something that had no affect on my health or well being.

    It’s not that I didn’t want to hear your answer, I just think you’re full of baloney. No hard feelings, were all twins fans here.
  8. Aggies7
    I just think it’s disingenuos to prefer sitting next to a guy who’s acting so obnoxiously he gets removed from a game, rather than someone spitting in to a cup.

    Actually is was developed by players who didn’t want to chew tobacco but wanted to chew something. It’s similar to how candy cigarettes used to be available to kids. I gotta believe that affects more kids than what grown ballplayers are doing.
  10. Aggies7
    Wouldn’t a product like big league chew, even though it’s obviously gum, do more to influence kids than a player actually doing it in a game? That’s probably the only reason I even knew what chew was at an early age and I’ve always been a huge baseball fan. Also, dugouts are still disgusting, but mostly because the players just throw their trash wherever the want to, except of course for the garbage can. Take a look at a dugout floor next time you watch a game. Some role models!
  11. Aggies7
    That’s a really bizarre way of looking at it. You don’t care about another person’s personal liberties until they sit next to you.
  12. Aggies7
    From a fan’s perspective, do you want to go to a game with your kids or with whoever and sit next to a guy who’s taking full advantage of the 2 cup per visit rule? Somebody who’s been tailgating since 3 hours before first pitch and downing as much as he can before they shut off sales? We’ve all been stuck sitting next to an obnoxious drunk oaf who thinks he’s hilarious hurling insults at the opposing team. And then when you finally leave the park, you just hope he’s not near you when he hops in his car to go home. Sounds a lot worse than Byron throwing a dip in before he heads out to center

    Hey, I’m not saying it’s healthy, good for you or safe in any way, shape or form. Nor am I saying that mlb doesn’t have every right in the world to ban it. But it affects the individual user only. I’ve never heard of a player having one too many dips and running over someone as he’s leaving the park, or a player who put too much chew in and went home and beat his wife. Let alone the behavior of fans who’ve had too much to drink. Those things, and many other bad things, happen when players are allowed to drink in the clubhouse. I worked in baseball, I saw it, and while some teams have implemented their own ban, the league has yet to do so because there’s more money involved in beer than there is in tobacco. It’s simple hypocrisy, that’s all.

    Hit that one halfway to south africa

    “OH GOSH SO LATE?”
  17. Aggies7
    I don’t think 6 is enough. Or 8 for that matter
  18. Aggies7
    I see Taylor sitting out there in the pen. Back looks fine to me
  19. Aggies7
    Can you prove this statement that chewing tobacco, not smoking, affects insurance costs more than alcohol? Yes, many clubs do have restrictions, many but not all.
  20. Aggies7
    Fairness, uniformity, anti hypocrisy. Not that any of us are pro ball players, but I can sympathize. My workplace (a college) recently banned all forms of tobacco and while I disagree, I understand why. Same reason I understand why the powers that be banned the keg parties the old timers tell me they used to have many years ago for employees every other Friday after work. While it would be awesome to still have those, the horrible things that can happen when a few dozen people drive home after hours of drinking were understandably enough to cancel that. And I’m as pro beer as it comes, I’m a home brewer!
  21. Aggies7
    Can the guys wake up now??
  22. Aggies7
    Sigh.
  23. Aggies7
    That was obviously hyperbole, but you knew that. The same arguments you make for banning tobacco can be made for banning booze. Immediate impact, long term health concerns, fan interaction. Or is that not correct?
  24. Aggies7
    I don’t buy your last point. Maybe from a fan standpoint, yes. But there’s zero reason it should be in any clubhouse if other things aren’t. Beer is no more ingrained to the players than tobacco. It’s not that it’s easier, it just costs less to ban it.
  25. Aggies7
    I feel the same way when I sit next to a fat guy eating nachos. To each his own I guess.
