Why incur the expense?
-
It looks like that's the way teams are seeing it.
-
Nobody seems to want much to do with Puig. I think I read that the Giants offered him a one year deal and he turned it down.
-
Yeah, but we made out like bandits on Mookie Betts. All thanks to this deadly plague!
-
It's not just the time factor, it's the annoyance factor of pitchers facing one batter and managers imitating Joe Maddon. I don't think this is being touted as the cure-all for long games.
-
Anything that reduces the number of pitching changes and prevents those innings where 3 pitchers face 3 batters is good with me. Maybe the impact won't be huge, but I don't see why that in itself is a problem. The roster expansion is a whole different issue. They should probably do something about that too.
-
Hard disagree on that one. We could take a poll on it, but there aren't too many people here with their minds on baseball right now.
-
Not small - they look good.
-
How did you arrive at your low opinion of the game, other than that quote attributed to Twain?
-
Yes, a lot of people say baseball is boring. I'm a Canadian who doesn't watch hockey because I find it boring. (It wasn't always that way.) Different strokes for different folks, as always.
-
You'll never hear someone who can actually play the game say that, though.
-
You may have a good argument. I suppose one of the reasons I could defend Sale and Syndergaard is because their procedures were uncommon.
-
I say no. Golf is a very popular sport. But it's totally unimportant to non-golf fans, which most of Talksox seems to be. Each of us decides what's important to us.
-
As I said, popularity is objective. Importance is subjective.
-
I don't watch any US college sports any more, because of all the corruption.
-
Popularity is certainly objective. Importance is subjective, right?
-
But does it really matter if football is more popular than baseball now? Baseball is still pretty big.
-
If you did make that argument, I would probably have to agree with it.
-
No, it's not good news.
-
Yes, things seem to vary quite a bit from state to state in that union of yours.
-
Translation: Dr. James Andrews is a wealthy old bugger who doesn't really need the money that much and would prefer to look righteous to the public. (I'm kidding!)

Newfoundlander in Boston to Harvard student: "Hey b'y, which way is Fenway Park to?" Harvard student (after shaking his head in disgust): "Don't you know you're not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition?" Newfoundlander: "Okay, which way is Fenway Park to, arsehole?"
-
I think that now that they are looking at playing without crowds, there will be games.
-
It has to be yes on the Blue Jays.
-
Many times, yes.
