    Re: MLB Off-Topic

    The mound visit and runner lane rule I like.

    Pitch clock I was fine with already, I guess those 2 seconds they think will make a difference?

    If I could choose, I'd make each starter given 2 mound visits (3 strikes you're out, where after the 2nd visit, the next time you visit them is when they're out of the game). And only 1 mound visit for anyone in your bullpen regardless if you used any visits on your starter (so if you use your visit on a reliever in the 6th, you can't make any more visits to any future reliever). You gain 1 mound visit if it's extras.

    We all know teams often just use mound visits to kill time/give the guy in the pen a bit more time to warm up. So that just feels like wasted time in the game.

              There are good owners, and there are bad owners. Then there is fifty feet of crap, THEN there is John Fischer. I didn't think there could be a worse owner in baseball than Jeffrey Loria, but Fischer managed to turned the A's into F's.

                  Was not aware MLB started doing a draft lottery.

                  It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                    I find that pointless. MLB more than any sport the draft orders don't mean as much.

                    Not like you're tanking for the 1st pick and getting the next Trout, Pedro or anything like that.

                      Welp…Wander Franco’s text messages will put him away for a long time. No claiming he didn’t know or was extorted after those…guy is a mess.

                        Is his contract still guaranteed or does it get voided?

                            I would imagine that the contract is guaranteed until he’s taken in to custody and can’t show up to work

                              After months of uncertainty, the Royals are advancing plans to build a new downtown ballpark. But a final deal is not yet done.


                              Didn’t know the Royals were in the market for a new ballpark. I like how Kauffman looks. Those new designs look ugly imo.

                                5 years ago today the BBHOF announced Roy Halladay as one of its inductees.

                                This and Kobe are the 2 deaths in pro sports that still get me the most.
