  1. I like Myers for my fantasy team, but in reality, he's a guy with a lengthy medical history. I'd only take him if the price was right.
  2. Because ROMAN REIGNS FAILED A DRUG TEST months ago.
  3. His prior season was great. He wasn't great during 2013. I remember the talk surrounding that trade was "he can just turn the corner and pitch like last year." He was fine for what he was. I think the prevailing thinking is that they need to do better than a 2013 Jake Peavy this time around. The last pitcher they acquired that would fit the bill this year would be Mike Boddicker, imo.
  4. http://uproxx.com/prowrestling/cm-punk-ufc-debut-delayed/ Phil Brooks is probably the greatest con artist of our time.
  5. http://uproxx.com/dimemag/derrick-rose-traded-to-knicks-for-robin-lopez-jose-calderon-nba/ Derrick Rose to now be most overhyped player in NBA. Good for him.
  6. That's every sport though. From protecting Tom Brady to giving Lebron extra free throws to Yaz saying "that's not a strike for me." That almost goes with the territory. It's the least surprising thing to me.
  7. LHH and RHH are clearly called differently. Not so damn bad! Home pitchers are called more favorably than visitors. Not so damn bad! 9th inning calls are worse than 1st inning calls. Not so damn bad!
  8. Papi can't play every day.
  9. !!! Considering how much you've crapped on the team in the past, this post made my day. (no sarcasm)
  10. It might be way down on the list, but it's on the list. It would speed up the game for certain. If you can make a simple change to improve the game, why hesitate? I've never said it's the most important issue affecting the game today. It is "an" issue affecting the game.
  11. And Kimmi's original point had nothing to do with productivity. It was more about fears concerning the workforce changing, which is constantly happening regardless of what we post on here.
  12. Well, I've already stated numerous times that baseball is currently a game that is beloved by an aging core. Once the boomers die out, we can expect contraction. In order to reach a younger market share, they should attempt to modernize parts of the game that are antiquated. Will it fix the bottom line tomorrow? Nope. Could modernizing the game prevent the bottom line from crashing in the future? Maybe.
  13. So the MLB umpires we watch and model on aren’t so damn bad after all — or so I say. It was funny. What else would you expect from an umpiring blog?
  14. Do you want me to read the study too? Or just the blog post?
  15. My favorite part so far "The data covers 4,914 games, 313,774 at-bats, and 756,848 pitches (non-swinging pitches only). That’s over three-quarters of a million pitches.
  16. Games would be quicker. Fans win. Players would have a better idea at when to swing as there isn't an amoeba blob of a zone to contend with. Players win. Umps would be under less scrutiny. Umps win. This conversation would die. We all win.
  17. ERod is just a pitch tipping situation. We just have to wait for good Clay to come around. Easy peasy!
  18. So having a properly called strike zone wouldn't be more productive?
  19. I'm convinced. Bring in Jake Peavy and I'll prepay for the playoff tickets.
  20. White Soz bro. Title bro. Bro.
  21. If PED's helped the umps, I'm all for it. We're talking about umpiring not player performance. The umpires are not athletes. They are there just to do a job, the same as an auto worker or accountant.
  22. 99 ERA+, .9 WAR... Yuck. Those guys grown on trees. I said "decent" not "markedly average."
