    When I was growing up in the 60's, there were 16 teams in MLB. You really had to be damn good to reach the big show. It wasn't unusual then for future major league players to spend 3-5 years in triple A. By the time a player was brought up, he knew the mental part of the game. It was very, very rare for a player from that period to learn the game at the major league level. Obviously, things have changed and they are what they are. But, please, don't try to sell me that baseball is better now than it was then.

    Learning baseball fundamentals doesn't seem to interest most players as much as learning launch angles.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I seem to remember when JD used to belt hangers for HR's.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Whatever; I watch all the games and I'll trust what I see over what some nerd has computed.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It appears base running is another aspect of baseball that isn't taught very well.
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Everyone has the right to their own opinion.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    That was actually a pretty good pitch Vlad hammered, but he is a great hitter.
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Even though his hitting has gone south, Renfroe remains the best defensive RF in the AL.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Hard to tell if the SOX have come out off their offensive swoon or if the two Jays' pitchers were both completely weaponless today. Hope it's the former. I guess Tuesday night will answer that question.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Nice hit by Duran, but the truth is this Murphy has absolutely nothing.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If Plawecki isn't catching Tuesday night, I'll be extremely pissed.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I hope Richards said thank you to the HP chUMP. Devers has Tourettes of the arm.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I'm not as baseball smart as Cora, but I believe Plawecki should be the #1 catcher.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It appears Bogie's wrist is healed.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    One would think that weak batters would be more proficient at bunting. Not all weak batters in MLB are pitchers. The SOX have more than their share of proof regarding that.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Arauz gets 10 fashion points and 1 bunting point.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Holy s***; a timely hit and great 'D' by the Jays.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Richards is arguably the worst starting pitcher in MLB. He's definitely the highest paid worst starter in MLB.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    You're not wrong.

    Not going to make many friends with this post, but I'd love to see V-Tek manage the SOX. Btw, have you've noticed the SOX history since 2004 with 1st year managers?
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Except the SOX have been making it a habit.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Today we got to see the 7 inning DH rule and the ghost runner on 2nd rule. Almost like going to the circus.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    SOX pitchers give up a total of 2 runs in DH and only get a split.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Nice job by 0.
