Batman tells you to shut the gently caress up. How do you recover from that?

I'm sure some of you have heard about the fan at the Red Sox game who was injured by the shard of a shattered bat. The injuries, if what I read is to be believed, are life-threatening. In the NHL, when a little girl (I think it was a girl) was injured and later died after being hit in the head by an errant shot that went over the glass, they quickly added netting to prevent that from happening again. But you can't feasibly add enough netting to keep bats and balls out of the stands... and that said, if this person dies, I can't believe they'll just do nothing. Isn't it the maple bats that shatter the most? Especially into dangerous fragments that sometimes end up sticking up out of the infield. I wonder if they'd just say, "Hey, it was fun for a while, but making bats out of the wooden equivalent of glass turned out to be a bad idea. No more." Maybe a return to only allowing ash and hickory models is in the cards? This is just wild speculation, but many people have been concerned about the safety of maple bats in recent years, and this could be the impetus for making a change.

Rand alPaul posted:They still explode into giant javelin-like shivs. I think it'd be better to ban them. A player is going to die from one of those. This is my problem with them. And even if the rate has gone down, bats break all the time. I'm a little curious as to what the stats are, actually--I'd be amazed if no one was counting these. Even if they didn't pose a safety risk--and they undeniably do--there is another good reason to get rid of them: how many broken-bat dingers do you see in a year? Broken bats turn base hits into easy outs, they turn great cuts into glorified bunts, and they turn dingers into shallow outfield flyouts. If we have to have something that breaks apart during play, how about some balls designed in such a way that you can literally knock the cover off the drat thing? Like in The Natural. Rip the cover off the ball, and it's a Torn Ball Triple or something. Ball destroyed by bat: fun for everybody, stories to last a lifetime. Bat destroyed by ball: "Oh, gee, another out. It is fun to watch this."

Also probably kill some pitchers.

I don't know why I follow this dumb team from the other side of the Pacific so fanatically, especially when I have no attachment at all to Seattle. I hate baseball. Shoot everyone not named Nelson 'Hernandez' Seager into the sun and trade the remains of the franchise to Las Vegas.

I'm thinking it's pretty close to the Mariners season being over. We're 9.5 behind the Astros, 5.5 in the Wild Card (I guess that's doable?) seems so far away now. A 7 game losing streak, Fernando Rodney's 6.94 ERA with Lloyd refusing to replace him as closer, Robinson Cano hitting like poo poo, Dustin Ackley having to consistently play and be garbage, Zunino unable to not strike out, the rotation is poo poo with two injuries, and our bench bats can't hit to save their lives. On top of that, all of the team's top prospects aren't performing very well in the minors at all.
