I get the Rays stadium sucks and all, but the NHL team right up the street has been rocking an 80-90 mil payroll for years now. If the NHL team in the same city is spending more than you, that's just not good

how the hell was bryce harper a -3.0 WAR defensive player in 2018

i vaguely remember this being a thing but that's appallingly bad

Harper was pretty obviously making some business decisions in the field that year

Considering how many games he missed from running into walls, can't blame him

Angel Hernandez lost his discrimination lawsuit https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/31172557/umpire-angel-hernandez-loses-race-discrimination-lawsuit-mlb

quote:

"The explicit reason MLB offers -- that according to Torre, Hernandez 'has not demonstrated the leadership ability and situation-management skills in critical high-pressure roles on a consistent basis' -- is presented in clear and specific terms," the judge said.

We finally have legal proof Angel sucks at his job

Moving the mound back is stupid because guys are already loving up their arms all the time as is. The game being TTO is just a thing they are going to have to deal with because 1) teams figured out efficient ways to win and thats the point of the game , and 2) at the end of the day it's on the hitters to adjust to the shift and if they don't want to then thats on them. Banning the shift is a stupid reactionary thing, like everything Manfred has done

I've seen a ton of whining about how the game is now and how things have changed so much and the product is unwatchable and so on. I think all that is overblown to be completely honest

The Shift is extremely easy to pull off. Hitting to the opposite field is incredibly hard.

It skews way too much toward the defense

CBS posted:

It's easy to sit here at a computer and say a lefty should see a wide open left side and either hit it or bunt it that way. It's quite another to face a 100-mph fastball with the possibility of seeing that pitch instead be a 93-mph slider and not only make contact but control where said contact sends the ball.

Are you sure it was intentional? That's something you do in the 6th inning, not bottom 9th of a tie game.
