MLB

Dang Reds... What is this world we are living in

 

Outlawing the shift is in the same class as the various measures Brian France took to 'improve' NASCAR

 

RIP Mel Stottlemyre

 

Sad day... one of the good guys in the game.

 

Arguably one of the best pitching coaches ever

 

Kyler Murray must have been looney to demand $15m

 

John Wetteland in a spot of (self inflicted) trouble. If what’s being reported is true...

Fry his ass.

I’ll never understand what a grown ass man sees in a child...

 

I’ve seen more than a few people say it was more that the original amount but less than 15.

 

"continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14." Good lord.

 

I just don’t understand. Aren’t there enough really fine looking over 18 year olds for a rich, ex MLB pitcher with a World Series ring to show for it to be banging?!? Why some little kid? I have an almost 13 year old daughter and she’s gross. All her little friends are gross... kids that age are just gross. Nothing sexually appealing about them whatsoever.

 

There are a lot of sick people out there. Look at what happened to that 13 yo girl in Wisconsin. He saw her get off the bus and killed her family to take her.

 

I’m interested to see how that story plays out. The guy who took her is a straight whack-o.

 

A four-year-old?!?!?!

So an 18 year old is accusing their relative (uncle ?) of raping them when they were 4? That’s going to be hard to prove.

 

Rob Manfred is determined to ruin baseball.

 

• A three-batter minimum for pitchers - no
  
  
• A universal designated hitter - just get it over with, I hate it, but just get it over with because it will happen eventually
  
  
• A single trade deadline before the All-Star break - would have to think about it
  
  
• A 20-second pitch clock - no
  
  
• The expansion of rosters to 26 men, with a 12-pitcher maximum - why?
  
  
• Draft advantages for winning teams and penalties for losing teams - I'll listen to this
  
  
• A study to lower the mound - yay, pitchers are dominating again
  
  
• A rule that would allow two-sport amateurs to sign major league contracts - meh
  

 

have they at least dropped the stupid of stupid ideas: eliminating the shift?

 

Manfred needs to quit listening to non-baseball people.

 

I don’t get the sense that people are out here clamoring for all this stuff.

The length of games is an issue, I guess, but I never really cared about it

 

Can we get designated runners for our really slow, but hard hitting players? They can stand outside the batters box and run when the ball is hit.
