That's how boomers thought for decades. Bonds and Williams never got 3000 hits because they were too good at not swinging at bad pitches and taking walks

The player's union wants it, ownership wants it, the TV networks want it, universal DH is a matter of time. It's a miracle it's taken this long

I'll be a little dissapointed, then quietly get over it quickly and think why I was ok with a free black hole in every lineup. The NL and AL have their own histories as separate organizations even as the rules become the same

Isn't Schwarbs not even that bad? His 2019 OF DRS and UZR and both just slightly negative, but defensive stats sample size and all that

Sydin posted:The Cubs are significantly better with the DH and that's been obvious for quite awhile now. Emotionally I like that the leagues are different and the rare pitcher dong rules, I will absolutely miss typing gently caress THE DH in the GDT's, but logically if I want my team to perform better I know I should be 100% for the universal DH. The Cubs are my second team (my dad's from Chicago) so I've seen them enough the past few years to know that's true. Happ's come a good way from his debut year with the worryingly high strikeout rate

I'm pretty sure Manfred and the rest know this is delusional and are jsut trying to make it look like they're doing something, because even if they try to force this the authorities are gonna stop it. It's delusional to think sports are gonna happen before like october at the earliest

American individualism brainworms. When the dollar totals go up enough, people see no difference between millions and billions and lump players and owners together as greedy rich pigs when the players are the ones getting cut out of the pie.

Sydin posted:If the MLBPA were even remotely competently run one of the first things they would have done when this situation arose was to tell the players to shut the hell up about any financial aspects so the union can let its own PR have a unified, sympathetic message with good presentation. What's wild is that the MLBPA is by far the most successful of the 4 major sports unions; granted a lot of that was pioneering work by Marvin Miller, but still if you compare MLB contracts to stuff like NFL ones it's night and day.

Is miami's park really that bad at suppressing power that Yelich turned into barry bonds immediately upon leaving

GalacticAcid posted:Was more his efforts to get the ball in the air more paid off big time. Which, the switch from a power suppressing park to a bandbox probably incentivized that. Yeah I knew his GB% was always really high but I remembered it being higher than I expected still as a brewer. He was also better than I remembered in miami, but the nearly 50 point jump in average wRC+ surprised me. Launch angle is a meme for a reason

Teams also have advanced talent calculating methods that the public don't have, they aren't dumb enough to be blind to the talent Bregman definitely has because of this scandal. He's still very good even without the cheating

This hasn't ruined baseball for me, because the owners have always shamelessly been like this Nothing's changed. I am miffed though because we were supposed to have Mookie this year, and who knows how much of a difference that would have made

A 58 game season would but illegitimate as hell, but it would be a fun exhibition "season", and certainly better than none. No one would take any "championship" won seriously
