So you would agree that non-baseball reasons are a factor. Machado's image is pretty bad right now.
-
But the question is, why does Harper seem to be looking at a significantly bigger chunk of money than Machado?
-
Machado's on-field antics appear to have cost him some money, as well they should have.
-
It would seem more accurate to say that the more Leon plays the more tired his bat gets.
-
I don't think playing the Rays 18 times a year adds much to anyone's excitement level either.
-
No, and I knew this was coming. But oldtimer keeps listing the weight at 225.
-
It isn't very interesting. But it's more interesting than this.
-
Sure - just change from leagues to conferences.
-
How about splitting the difference - batting average and slugging average?
-
And Derek Jeter.
-
A .320 hitter is also averaging 32 hits per 100 at bats. Kimmi is right, you can use either term-whichever one pleases you.
-
From the aesthetic/entertainment standpoint, I HATE the Opener, if the Opener is only used for one inning and followed by a guy who pitches 3-5 innings. It has kind of a trashy, sneaky 'bait and switch' feel to it. I don't have a problem with true 'bullpen games' if they're every fifth game or less.
-
Good point.
-
Now stop saying this! (LOL) Leon's career batting average in MLB is .226. That's a stone cold fact.
-
I think real world examples are the best way to support a point.
-
Personally I'd be satisfied if they made it a 2 batter minimum.
-
Agreed.
-
Only 6 days to the first game vs. MLB competition.
-
Checkmate.
-
He's delivering 56.2 bases per 100 at bats.
-
I see what you're saying, but 400% can still be a real world percentage. (Sales were up by more than 200% over last year.)
-
18 inning games are very rare though. In 2018 Red Sox pitchers threw 1458 2/3 innings. 162 * 9 = 1458 The extra innings were basically cancelled out by the games where only 8.5 innings were played. Extra innings, and the absence of a time clock, are one of the things that give baseball it's unique character. That's just my personal take, of course. I can see why there would be differing opinions on the matter.
-
What has changed though, is that the wall between the two leagues has already been broken down by inter-league play. Really what difference would it make now to have one league?
-
The whole ace thing is pretty dumb, because after all these years it's still undefined. But ace is a cool-sounding word, so it will continue to be used.
-
Oh sure, somewhere between 10 and 20 is reasonable. It all depends on the definition.
