Yes. Although now that I look at it, I think the year was 1884, not 1894...

If MLB really wants to speed up games, taking down situations that don’t happen in every game, and only happen once or twice in games they do appear in, isn’t going to make a big difference. That would be like Hollywood deciding movies are too long and the solution is “Nicholas Cage gets two less lines in all his movies.” The MLB rulebook has times already established for how long a pitcher can take. Start there...

Why not just go back to pre-1894 rules for extra innings? The pitcher has to throw underhand and the hitter can tell him where to throw it...

The real problem with the Sox minor leagues
notin replied to notin's topic in Red Sox Minor League Talk
The Salem Virginia Big-Eared Bats. After the state bat of Virginia, and with the double entendre of having a baseball term in it’s nomenclature... -
Oh ok. So it was meant to Stop Eeeville...

I hate it, and the worst part is it’s not even going to do what we were sold it would do. From April to August, it will impact on average less than one pitching change per game. In September, it can be more as managers sometimes have 10-12 man bullpens and some do make pitching changes rather willy-nilly (I’m looking at you, retired Bruce Bochy). But why not just remove the stupid roster expansion?

1. Isn’t that what we were discussing that you commented that you loved? Granted that post was from March 10. 2. Yeah no one is thinking/talking baseball, but there is no reason not to if you can find a topic. If a baseball conversation on a message board keeps you at home, it’s a good thing for everyone.,.
-
Anyone know why they put a roster freeze in place? Does that mean all the unsigned players stay in limbo?
-
Latest report has all teams potentially heading to Arizona with the season starting as early as May. June seems more realistic. A lot of this does depend on the availability of rapid corona virus testing...
-
No one loves the 3-batter minimum rule. Baseball has so many rules that need changing. Why is it they only propose changes to the stuff that doesn’t?
-
He was probably quoting pre-Zombie Twain. Also known as Mark...
-
Further investigation shows no evidence of that quote until 1948, some 38 years after Twain died. So I suppose the conclusion is obvious. The quote should be attributed to Zombie Twain...

I have tried it. Naturally I was not very good, but that never bothers me; I enjoy sports more when I have room to improve. But I was just sooooooooooo bored. Those rounds take FOREVER. I remember getting to the 8th hole and thinking “f***! I still have 10 to go.”

That’s because I don’t listen to people talk about their golf games.
-
There is an entire wave of Internet personalities called “influencers,” all of whom are popular. Are any of them important?
-
I don’t think that golf courses are public land. But yes, golf sucks. Mark Twain said “Golf is a good walk wasted”
-
Yeah you can’t really tackle any other way...

“The Olympics combine two things all Americans hate. Foreigners. And gym!” - Andy Daly

The concussion concern is legitimate and something many are trying to address with better equipment. But the sport is as popular as ever and one major reason is the popularity of fantasy football...
-
Not nearly as often. And certainly not when on defense. Plus they change out the ball a lot more often in favor of a brand new one...

I was defending your position there

Except UConn football, right? I used to like it more, but the Cam Newton scandal was the straw that broke the Tiger’s back. It really slammed home the “money over everything” in college sports. Plus my Alma Mater (WPI) just doesn’t have an exciting athletic program. When the Final Four rolls around, I find myself rooting for Holy Cross (if they make it), because they’re also from Worcester and part of the Worcester Consortium with WPI, and that makes them the closest thing I have to having a team in the Big Dance. And even then, it lasts one game...
-
And yet we hear nothing over the Olympics...
-
Football is actually on 3 nights a week now. 4 of you count college. But how many really watch football that often?
-
Not to mention, football is impossible right now. How are players supposed to social distance in a huddle?
