  1. For both? They could have all of those guys. Hard to trade Swihart while he's on the DL though.
  2. 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.
  3. I wrote in Christian Vazquez. Blake Swihart, really?
  4. Missed calls are the worst and completely unacceptable.
  5. If the technology is available to get all of the calls right, why not use it?
  6. A pitching clock should fix this issue.
  7. Ever since game 162 of 2011, the O's have been a bigger rivalry to me than the Yanks.
  8. Xander is great, but doesn't have Nomar's power. He'll probably have a longer career though.
  9. Depending on your stance on Fenway, we could call it a truce though.
  10. Nice try there though, champ. You'll get em next time!
  11. Overall attendance has gone down each year. GOTCHA!
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. And to put it in perspective, the MLB on FOX game on Monday night had the same ratings as Monday Night RAW and nobody watches wrestling anymore...
  16. World Series ratings are way down. Regular Season NFL games destroy the ratings of the World Series. Overall tv ratings have noticeably shrunk from just 10 years ago. Attendance has decreased steadily since 2007. The worst thing that can happen to MLB is all of the old people dying.
  17. Just f***ing win already...
  18. He's hitting .233 at the moment. Maybe some of you should have pumped the breaks on him playing in Boston this year?
  19. You're only mad because your team lost! Argument not valid!
  20. I think fans are worried about LF more than DUMBrowski is.
  21. One of us, one of us! Gobble gobble we accept you one of us!
  22. The resistance to change is the reason MLB's popularity is s*** with people under 50. Once the boomers die off, MLB will be struggling and you can bet there will be contraction.
  23. Not a strike
  24. Don't worry, replay won't hold up the game!
  25. Not a strike
