I legitimately forgot he was even on the team up until a week ago.

So...oh no? Darn? What will we ever do now?

Yeah, not a huge deal but I had to smirk at the idea of a knuckleballer needing PEDs.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

The Rays have a new Primary Logo for 2019 as well as a new patch on their uniforms.





Speaking of uniforms. Rumor is the Texas Rangers maybe getting a new set next year when they move into their new park.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Honest question, how is that Rays logo different?

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I'll play the contrarian and say that maybe in this case, this is evidence that some of the drugs the result in bans aren't actually performance enhancing drugs. This guy (who's obviously tested positive previously) isn't in need of anything to improve his strength or anything along those lines.

They changed their primary logo from TB to what it is now.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

I liked the TB. I also don't like wearing outdated hats.

The answers to my two trivia questions, by the way:

Spoiler

Adam Ottavino. I believe he allowed 24 SB and 21 ER in 2018.

Spoiler

San Francisco Giants; Barry Bonds

Re: MLB Off-Topic

As for the ASG conversation, I love it in the MLB.

It's also one of the areas where I think they got pace of play right: with the HRD round timer.






Good guess, but nope. I'll slightly add to my hints:

• The 2008 Opening Day starter is now a manager.
• The 2010 Opening Day starter is now on MLB Network.
• The 2007 Opening Day starter (who started the variance streak) was said starter for the team for several years, though was injured for one of them and couldn't start.
• The 2018 Opening Day starter is currently trying out for an AL West team, as is the 2017 Opening Day starter.

By the way, I have to clarify that I came up with these trivia questions myself. I don't think there really are any holes in them to speak of, but if they're a bit too difficult that may be why.




I... don't know?

He has one digit on the back of his jersey.

For whatever reason I thought Ottavino wore double zero. Just makes more sense.

I don’t mind the change to the All Star voting. It needed to be overhauled anyway.

Pete Rose could return to baseball and go 1,404-for-1,404, and Ty Cobb would still have a higher career batting average.

There's no diamond in it.

That's a genius idea. Must have taken lots of time to think of that.

I want to be a marketing or logo designer in Florida. Their teams across all sports have weird choices.

I don't really follow? Are you saying that because he's a knuckle baller and not a power pitcher that he cannot have used PED's because they'd be no use to him? (I may be misreading that)

Wright has been quoted about how banged up he is and how much his knee troubles him, of course PED's could help him. They aren't just for getting Mark McGwire huge, hell the worlds best Bridge player got done recently for taking PED's (don't really understand that one myself)

Re: MLB Off-Topic

That Rays logo change is one of the laziest ever.

As for the rumors about the Rangers, I hope they back to the red/white color scheme.
