    Robot umps would speed up the game and not affect the people in the stands.

    From the guy who posted the NESN story "Groome on the Red Sox two weeks ago: “I would be ecstatic to go to my favorite team. That would be awesome."

    If they liked him, we would've seen him by now.
  4. mvp 78
    NESN's headline was really clickbaity. Keith Law said "they were upset" not Jason himself.
  5. mvp 78
    I haven't seen that anywhere.
  6. mvp 78
    Will he pitch again this year? He makes Buchholz look like Cal Ripken.
  7. mvp 78
    Probably until the human element is... eliminated. Muhahaha...

    "The White Sox announced today that they’ve requested waivers for the purpose of granting Latos his unconditional release. Assuming no team claims the remainder of his salary, he’ll officially be a free agent once he clears in 48 hours." Anyone still have interest? You can offer him the veteran minimum on Saturday.

    He's a 27 year old with a .780 OPS in AAA. Brentz is only 1 year older than Ryan Kalish who was hitting .980 in AAA. Kalish was DFA'd in May and passed through waivers without a fuss. I'm not sure anyone cares about Brentz at this point.

    https://theringer.com/steven-wright-and-the-knuckleball-contradiction-a8bf864e24f0#.j06o6t8tm Not sure if anyone has posted this article yet. Even if you don't actually read it, it's worth it just to watch the vine of a nasty knuckler than Wright throws to Chris Davis.

    Just f***ing win already...
  12. mvp 78
    For both? They could have all of those guys. Hard to trade Swihart while he's on the DL though.
  13. mvp 78
    I somewhat agree. However, none of the prospects you mentioned were as highly regarded as Espinoza. Casey Kelly was overhyped, but wasn't he drafted as a SS and converted? Craig Hansen was rushed as a late inning reliever, which is not what Espinoza's ceiling is.
  14. mvp 78
    I wrote in Christian Vazquez. Blake Swihart, really?
  15. mvp 78
    Missed calls are the worst and completely unacceptable.
  16. mvp 78
    If the technology is available to get all of the calls right, why not use it?
  17. mvp 78
    A pitching clock should fix this issue.
  18. mvp 78
    Ever since game 162 of 2011, the O's have been a bigger rivalry to me than the Yanks.
  19. mvp 78
    Xander is great, but doesn't have Nomar's power. He'll probably have a longer career though.
  20. mvp 78
    Depending on your stance on Fenway, we could call it a truce though.
  21. mvp 78
    Nice try there though, champ. You'll get em next time!

    Overall attendance has gone down each year. GOTCHA!
  23. mvp 78
    That's because the MLB saw its greatest attendance in 2006 and 2007. It's been downhill since then. Also, the bump in attendance due to a new ballpark (which have been ever increasing lately) never last more than a year or two. Attendance is going down year to year. Since 2007, the only year where attendance did not decrease from the prior year is 2015 (largely due to increased attendance in KC). However, attendance is shrinking again in 2016. Salaries are higher, true. You know what else is higher? Pretty much everything. https://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/awidevelop.html Is umpiring the biggest reason that MLB is fading? Nope. But it is something that could be addressed. Sticking their heads in the sand hasn't helped MLB in the past and it won't help them now.
  24. mvp 78
    I don't "complain" when I notice it, but I still notice it and post about it in game threads. I'll usually say that *insert Red Sox player* was gifted a ball/strike on that play.
  25. mvp 78
    If they don't upgrade their SP, it suggests that they don't believe they are a WS contender. We'll have to see what happens.
