Josh Bell is probably an ok-to-good player, but he was also cheap for two more years and the fans liked him and he was a cool dude. If you're gonna trade bell for nothing, just keep him and then let him walk in two years and let the fans have some dingers and fun dugout antics Thanks cooter and the shark, I'll hang up and listen

bewbies posted:What I dislike is that MiLB is dominated by affiliated teams/leagues, whose primary reason for existence is developing a tiny number of prospects into major leaguers. Developmental baseball is fine, but it isn't the same as true indy baseball. Affiliated teams live and die at the whim of their parents, have to play lineups and rotations not for winning but for maximizing prospect playing time, players are rarely in one place for more than a year, and baseball players with no major league future are virtually worthless. All of this is bad for the fan. And what chaff guy doesn't dream of maybe having every third baseman in the org's arms all explode at once and his phone rings?

Just because I really like Foolish Baseball (and fantasy-booking a whole league), I want to bring this back up. His ideas:
-Pitch clocks are dumb and time between pitches isn't the problem. -It is too radical to change the mound distance -The shift is good. Learn2hit scrub -12-team playoff bad. Win your division, scrub. I could see a case for adding 2 teams and splitting AL/NL play again, and creating 4 divisions in each league, so you only have 3 other teams you're playing against for a playoff spot, but this would necessitate the elimination of the (very dumb) WC slot and (dumber) WC play-in game. --- -I'd do away with the salary cap, but peg the salary floor at 1/3 the average salary of the 5 highest payrolls, and also have it set to never lower (so there's no collusion incentive). -BONUS: If you finish last in your division 4 years in a row, it triggers an automatic sale of your team. --- -Quadruple RBI's budget and incentivize tons more youth play -Instead of free tickets, make it like it was in the '20s: tickets after the 2nd inning are 50¢ if you bring a child under 12. Get kids to the ballpark any way you can Shrecknet fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Feb 15, 2021 |

bawfuls posted:Research shows there are essentially two reasons why games are longer now than 50 years ago: Just go back to rules-as-written: batters can request time to step out at go on a Nomar-level fiddle with their gear, but umps are under no compunction to grant it.

Timby posted:This is the thing. A pitch clock isn't needed, the problem is hitters who take time to adjust their gloves, tap dust off the cleats, adjust their grip and scratch their nuts after every goddamn pitch. It's already in the Official Rules that a batter needs permission to step out of the box, the umpires just refuse to actually enforce it.

'Lose the team if youre last too often' was my idea, but obviously a non starter in the real world. The idea of #1 pick goes to best team to miss the playoffs is interesting, gently caress if i want more great players to languish with the Nuttings of the world before fleeing to the Yankees after wasting 4 years

I remember Bonds' 7/49 deal when he jumped ship to the Giants and how it was plastered over ever magazine cover as the greediest player to ever ruin baseball by wanting to be compensated as the... checks notes... first-ever and reigning 3-time MVP. That's a 7 year/$86m deal in 2021 dollars, or $12.2 AAV. For a three-time MVP entering his age 28 season.  e: upon further research, he was only a 2-time MVP, and came in second in between. (he immediately won another MVP his first year in SF)

Hey Cubs fans, whats happening? Ummm, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come to the game tomorrow. So if you could be here around gametime, that would be great, m'kay? Oh, and I almost forgot, uh, I'm also gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday too, kay? We lost some games this week and ah, we sorta need to play catch up. ______________/

https://twitter.com/Marlins/status/1366109463342682123 Be pleased with the reactions on display. Fish are gonna be fun this year since everyone knows they're gonna be terrible, so everyone's just playing to have a good time. Brinson, for those of you who didn't purchase a program, was worth -0.1 WAR last year, his breakout season in which he recorded an OPS+ of 72. He has an OPS+ of 48 for his career, which has been worth -3.2 WAR over 4 years. Shrecknet fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Mar 1, 2021 |

Shiroc posted:Is the new Mets FO as evil as the previous one? They were my fallback after I abandoned Cleveland. I know they hired the poo poo GM but then dumped his rear end immediately when things came out publicly. I assume Cohen is evil in same ways as anyone that rich has to be. He's also kinda funny on twitter. Still a billionaire, though.

Would like to congratulate the Braves at the end of this season for completing their contract with Bruce Sutter, who signed a Bonilla-style contract in 1985 that ran for 36 years, $44m
