Re: MLB Off-Topic

Or....can we get the ASG at the field of dreams? Now that would be the greatest ASG ever.

gonna quote this one one more time lol


either the field of dreams field or Williamsport. MLB also ought to have a field in Cooperstown. even if it seats less than 10,000. there should be a field there at least on par with the smallest spring training field

EDIT: oh yeah, Doubleday Field d'oh

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Oh well. I'm not gonna eat MLBs lunch for pulling a showcase event from a state because Brian Kemp and the Georgia republican leadership pushed and signed some bull**** voting law that came about because some guy couldnt stomach the fact that he lost and Georgia republicans are lazy that instead of going into these neighborhoods and trying to win over voters of color they pass a bill that is nothing but an attempt to discourage them from voting.

I hate it for the fans, but be mad at Kemp , not the MLB.

Drop the politics. Thank you.

Whatever man. Was just giving my opinion on an issue that you really cant discuss without the political side of it. But anyway,forget I said anything.

Anyway back Off-Topic there was a cat on the field in Denver today. Don't think it gets any more Off-Topic than that

I don't know whose call it would be, but if I were MLB/Field of Dreams/sponsors/whoever else, I'd ditch that scheduled White Sox-Yankees game for the All-Star Game. That's a no-brainer.

I don't think Iowa can do it either.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

The 7-inning doubleheaders aren't still in, right? That was only for Spring Training?



Tell me I'm ****ing having a nightmare right now.

Just wait til they make these changes permanent (which they will).

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Hey guys, speaking of ballparks... last year around Opening Day, I recorded myself trying to find all 30 MLB stadiums using Google Earth completely blind (no labels whatsoever). I never uploaded a video of it because I had to trim it the best I could, otherwise it would've been nearly four hours long.

Some were just too hard for me to find, including for one of my favorite teams (Braves). By far the most frustrating one to look for was Tropicana Field, though. Some "cheating" was used at the end.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I'm not a fan of 7-inning doubleheaders or starting extra innings with a man on second, like most baseball fans.

That said, I'm ok with it for as long as the pandemic is a thing. We've already had the NYM/WSH series postponed and there's no way to predict over the course of this season how many games any given team may have to make up.

Making cramming all the make up dates in easier on the players by artificially shortening the games is an acceptable solution to me.

However, when the pandemic is gone the rules need to go with it.

Based on the way he lived his life and what he went through, I’d like to think Hank himself would support the move and not think him being honored is more important.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

maybe if the mlb believes in what it says it does,
they won't allow the other 29 teams to play in Georgia in the regular season

Or move all of their offices out of New York which has stricter voting laws than Georgia. LOL

That’s the trouble with MLB or any other big organization trying to get into political issues. Everything they do is going to be hypocritical. Should they leave NY because of their issues? Leave Chicago because of gun violence? Leave the south because of how they treated Covid?

There is no good answer. Anyway, back to mlb talk for the rest of the thread..

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Just read on the MLB Network ticker that the 2021 All Star Game and draft will no longer be held in Atlanta.

A new host city has yet to be determined.

No money from me to the MLB this year. Their decision has resulted in my decision. No MLB the Show 21 for me. No in-person games. No merch.

HRD and ASG there would be way bigger than a Sox vs Yankees series.
