Ties in the regular season are fine

Extra innings are better.

just like they always say, those mercenary Giants, building their team through free agency instead of developing homegrown talent The Right Way

Imagine ever trading with the Rays.

what's unlikable about a scrappy group of young upstarts, the real America's Team since the mid 80s, the Atlanta Braves? (honest question)

I don't have anything against the players but the stupid racist chant is intolerable.

I always thought Grenkie's anxiety was more about interviews and other face to face communication, and being on the mound didn't bother him.

The solution to the problem should not be robo-umps, it should be “fire/penalize umps who are repeatedly statistically-proven to be utter dogshit at doing their jobs”.

Part of the problem is that calling balls and strikes is something that you get worse at as you get older, and so getting rid of the worst umps in the game is the same as getting rid of the most senior members of the Union.

It would probably be better for the game if umps retired in their forties, but you'd have to absolutely break the union to make that happen.
