Gallant baseball team continues to play hard and win the game even if its not in their best interest. Goofus baseball team just says gently caress it, let's make a utility player play all nine positions in a single game for no loving reason. e: drat, didn't even realize Tigers had the worst record until now. Thought we were at least doing better than the Phillies. Whelp, let the great tank begin Comptroll The Forums fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Oct 1, 2017 |

Dear Houston Astros, Is it cool having Jose Altuve on your team? It seems like it would be cool to have him on your team.

Just find it funny to kvetch that a starting pitcher wasn't pulled at the start of the seventh inning, facing the bottom of the lineup, when your team has a 5 run lead and the starter hasn't even reached 100 pitches But yeah nah I'm salty too so there's that

Makes you wonder how many balls Altuve misses that a 2b of average height would have been able to reach.

I'm torn because on the one hand it's Hample. On the other hand, Bartmanning that ball would have hosed the Yankees, which I am strongly in favor of.

# ¿ Oct 9, 2017 04:01 |

Rumor is that the Yankees are planning to hire Hample to coach their outfielders on how to best position themselves. big if true

This is what happens when America cheers for the Yankees. They turn away from God's light and stop using decent biblical names like Michael and Deborah. Don't support stupid baby names. gently caress the Yankess. Amen.

I don't really care who wins out of the Cubs and Dodgers, just so long as the winner soundly defeats the Yankees in case the Astros fail to do their one drat job.

TMMadman posted:I am sort of with you. I'm kind of torn about it, but at the same time how are you going to stop it? This is why I think we should have robo-umps, but calibrate them so they only make the obvious calls. Pitches more than two inches in or out of the zone get automatic ball/strike. Runners clearly tagged more than four inches off the bag are automatically out. Rather than use robo-umps to make every call, just have them make the calls which would be really egregious to have wrong. Let the meat-umps make the close calls and get rid of replay review.

It hurts that we lost Verlander, but having him absolutely annihilate the Yankees in the ALCS makes it worth it

Just watched the condensed houston/yankees game, really impressed that Houston left verlander in the game with his pitch count as high as it was and especially after that runner got on first. Good to see the Houston staff has that much trust in him. Go get your ring, JV, then come back to Detroit to retire

I’m so happy he gets to pitch Game 1 of the World Series for this team. I can't wait for post-season kersh to reemerge and flame out after 3 innings Unless the Yankees get in then please throw perfect games Clayton

You want baseball to be shorter? Make the game six innings. There, I said it

What if instead of a clock for each pitch there was a clock for the entire plate appearance? Pitchers start with 2-4 minutes on the clock, get 10 extra seconds for each pitch thrown, and if time expires then it's an automatic walk.

What if you added a second diamond to the field and had teams playing offense and defense at the same time? That should cut time in half, right?

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:[Citation Needed] Keep in mind that MLB's problem is really about viewership rather than just the set number of people who care about baseball. I like baseball but don't watch very often just because its such a big time commitment to watch an entire game. If games were shorter it would be easier for me to justify sitting down to watch rather than thinking "I just got home from work, do I seriously want to be watching this game until literally 2 hours before I need to go to sleep?"

If the Dodgers win we need to take up a campaign for Puig to get a WS ring tattooed on his face.
