How about managers do whatever the gently caress they want for strategy and if you get upset about aesthetics or whatever weirdo claim reevaluate if you actually like baseball

It's imperative MLB solves these issues for the fanbase that says they like baseball but actually complains about everything except dingers or whatever

If they put the ball on a tee you get more balls in play and pitchers can't stall wow what an idea

If baseball is going to change let it be the way guys play on the field, not loving advertisements on uniforms and the mounds and increased ad breaks etc because the owners are panicking that they're the poorest billionaires

Very hosed up of the Giants, ignoring that if they're up enough stop trying because the other team is unwritten rule bound to throw in the towel there out

naming the six other players along with Miggie to hit 500 dingers and 3,000 career hits is a surprisingly challenging exercise.

I consider myself a pretty dedicated baseball history nerd and I missed two of them.

Missed two as well and one was so glaringly obvious I am ashamed of myself

have some empathy, the Yankees are the worst team to ever exist in the history of baseball and their fans have a lot of emotional distress because of how Cashman and Boone are the biggest idiots to ever live. they're actually the victims here.

they're out there yelling at opposing players NOT wanting the player to do anything to give them an excuse to throw beers at them, the last thing they want when yelling non stop at an injured player and his teammate is any reaction. again, we have to remember how much these fans suffer, they are the israel of baseball, surrounded by enemies and constantly under attack from their front office :(

Everyone bemoaning the loss of narrative impact from starters no longer going deep yet none of you singing the praises of Walker Buehler who recorded the league’s first complete game last night :colbert:

people say they want good baseball but when they get it they don't care or bitch about something else, a tale as old as time. alternatively people are ignoring it due to being over the maddux cutoff and also hate the dodgers (me)

I think the answer to that is a pretty simple one and it's the answer to just about every question regarding Greinke and that's "Who the gently caress besides Zack even knows?"

You know that big-rear end shifts were a thing when Ted Williams played, too, right? Didn't seem to bother him too much.

Much like the pitch clock, banning the shift is a solution desperately in search of a problem.

Yeah the shift having been a long standing strategy used over the years is great and all but it's literally impossible for guys to go oppo now and also looks bad and strategy is not ok cheers
