They got lucky today the Braves didn’t crack double digits. Shame about Max Fried, didn’t look like more than a minor tweak but you gotta be careful as hell with the push off hammy of a SP.

about the pitch clock.

There were some issues pitch wise, announcer wise and batter wise. This will not be
the final product.….they were talking about it on ESPN 1000 radio this morning….

Marcus Stroman’s violation was ridiculous and the entire stadium boo’d.

Like I said, for me, an extra 5 seconds and flat time will give it more of a natural feel
and give everyone ample time….or the clock will be eliminated after the 7th inning.

One thing critics mentioned on ESPN is that during the WBC the matchup between
Trout and Ohtani went well past the current time rule because there was no pitch clock
in that tournament….the current pitch clock would have killed the beautiful tension and
drama that played out during that moment. That’s one thing that has been pen
pointed because those stars have to be showcased and there can’t be any interruption
with that.

So I imagine some type of flat control will be implemented to even things out

you're talking about the final out in a tournament between two of the games biggest stars who are usually teammates. I'm ok if we missed out on a couple minutes of tension of guys walking around or messing with their gloves if it can save me 20+hours over the course of a season.

>One thing critics mentioned on ESPN is that during the WBC the matchup between

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

In response to Reply # 5


  

          

The lack of a pitch clock had about 10% of an impact on the drama of that moment. I'd say having the two best players, who play on the same team, facing each other for the first time with the championship on the line is why that moment was special. Not the fact that they had no limit on the time of the at-bat.

It's the same when many pundits thought the Elam ending was going to save the ASG. The reason the outcome was so spectacular was the high competition level because they paid homage to Kobe.

I mean, I get the pushback. It's such a fundamental shift in the way baseball is enjoyed and played. I know I'd feel a way if the NBA went to a 40 min game. Overall MLB games are a better product because there's action throughout.

This is why Abreu wasn’t re-signed, to get Vaughn back to his natural position
at first base…and he has the talents and potential to be just as good.

Tim Anderson playing for Team USA has definitely matured him. I can see a difference
in his game. He was clutch too.


And Dylan Cease is a true ace. He should have won the CY last season….and is
favorite to win it this year.

Just hope the rest the bullpen can be just as good

In response to Reply # 11


          

You can’t call a man a bitch and think it’s cool. ..and I don’t think he was really trying
to hit him…He could have jumped up and focked him up.

He just took a swipe at his punk ass…

I hate punk ass fans

No. You don’t. But you feel it’s right to call him bitch.

You think it’s okay to go up to a man and call him a bitch?

A baseball player would knock you the Fock out…rightful so.

41. "Games are way too short and fast now and fans "
In response to Reply # 40

are seriously complaining.

https://www.outkick.com/mlb-pitch-clock-or-bitch-clock-fans-complain-games-are-too-short-now/


“More people are beginning to take umbrage with the fact that they are in many cases spending a lot of their hard-earned cash for a game and may not be getting their money’s worth. You’re essentially paying the same amount or even more but getting less out of it.”

When fans go to the bathroom or take their kids to the bathroom, when they come
back they have already missed 2-3 innings of the game. So now fans are being
ripped off because they are still spending the same amount of money, but they are
getting less of a product.


The games went from being way too long to way too short, this is why I say the clock
will be adjusted.

Also vendors are losing money, because they are losing an hour’s worth of business
due to games being shorter. That can’t continue to happen.

Anyone with 2 eyes can see the difference and how bad it is….it no longer
feels like a baseball game.

42. "Concessions haven’t dropped at all"
In response to Reply # 41


  

          

You’re turning into a conspiracy guy about this whole thing and it’s frankly weird.

https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/do-shorter-games-lead-to-lower-concessions-sales/?amphtml

https://theathletic.com/4381586/2023/04/05/mlb-new-rules-beer-sales/?source=user_shared_article

When we went from no clock to a clock and lost the 26 minutes, what we found is that there was no decrease in our concession sales,” Manfred said during an executive luncheon hosted by the Paley Media Council in New York. “And we think the reason for that is people kind of, in their head, have two and a half hours set aside to do this baseball game. So before the clock, if two and a half hours was at the end of six (innings), they were gone, OK? Now, they stayed until the end of the game, and we’ve seen absolutely no decline on the concession side. And that’s a really important indicator of how serious the problem was that we were trying to deal with.”

In response to Reply # 42


  

          

especially if it seems clear their team was going to win or lose, or if you brought your kids on a school night.

now, the end of the game actually happens when the 7th inning stretch used to happen, more or less.

that's what Manfred is talking about right there.

shit, i won't be suprised if ultimately it shows that concessions went up ultimately, because you gotta go your shit, you can't just be lazy and go "whenever."

48. "Here is a take by Jason Foster from Sporting News who sums it"
In response to Reply # 45
Fri Apr-07-23 11:30 AM by allStah

          

perfectly:

“If you’re not at the ballpark for at least four hours, it’s not even worth your time and money,” wrote Jason Foster for The Sporting News on Opening Day. “Short games just aren’t real baseball. If it takes less than 30 seconds between pitches, or if there’s only a minute or two between balls in play, well, that’s just an unrecognizable sport. It’s certainly not the game we’ve come to love. Some people will tell you that the quicker pace forced by the pitch clock is actually a good thing, but those people are idiots.”

https://www.insidehook.com/daily_brief/sports/mlb-pitch-clock-speed/amp

The pace of the game is what made it baseball, and if you take that away then
you have something that isn’t baseball…and fans are starting to see the difference….
real baseball fans who actually go to the stadiums

The avg tickets cost 28.00, and baseball is a game where the whole family goes or
a group of friends go to have an all day experience at the ball park…so let’s say
you have a family of 4-5 go to the ball park. That’s 140.00, plus refreshments and
beverages, that’s another 50.00- 60.00….add in gas, traffic and parking. All of that,
and then the game is over in 2 hours? That’s a problem, because now they are
getting less of a product, but still spending the same amount of money they were
spending prior to the change. Fans are starting to see that it’s a rip off, because they
are getting a rushed experience

And with inflation being a massive problem now….

That ain’t going to fly.

Now people are starting to see why baseball ain’t just some game like
basketball and football to move fast and be sped up…those games have
never been all day picnic experiences like baseball.

but you're cherry picking the opinion of a guy who agrees with how you feel. and you're obviously welcome to feel that you don't like this new direction for baseball.

i can only speak to how i feel about it. regardless of what i spend on tix and stuff at the game, if i'm doing anything for 2 hours? at that point i feel i've gotten my moneys worth like 99.5% of the time.

Here's another pull from that Athletic article (hint: if you're at a major professional sporting event these days, you're a data point on a graph somewhere)

"At least in recent years, baseball fans have left stadiums “significantly earlier” than fans at other sporting events, said Rachel Goodger, chief revenue officer of CrowdIQ, a company that tracks fan movement at ballparks.

"“It’s just been such a focus in baseball,” Goodger said. “Unless there’s a blowout in the NFL, typically fans are staying until the end. Same thing with the NBA and NHL and MLS. Baseball is really one of those sports that the egress has been, I think, a pain point. … Obviously, the rule change is trying to keep fans in the ballpark for the entirety of the game.


"Using data from 2018-22 collected from six MLB partner teams, CrowdIQ found that more fans are in their seats about 45 minutes into the game than at any other point, at close to 95 percent. The percentage drops to around 90 at the two-hour mark, and then 80 at 2 hours, 30 minutes. It takes a sharp turn from there: a half hour later, about 60 percent of fans are in their seats."


Keep in mind they say elsewhere in the article they're working off ticket sales and then taking photos and running them through an AI every 10 to 15 minutes, so those numbers have nothing to do with capacity. So if you're the Marlins and you're losing like 5,000 people in the final 30/60 minutes of a game, just close the bars and send the staff home early.


I live in the home of the College World Series. Nobody's in the 8th inning thinking "y'know, I could go for one more overpriced Bud Light and some ice cream". You're watching the game or you're leaving to pay an appropriate, non-event space inflated price for that one more beer or snack.

I guess all the baseball legends of the '70s were not playing a "real" version of the sport, since games were 2.5 hours back then. of course this guy is an actual voter for the Hall of Fame, not just a Bleacher Report hack.

51. "There is literally the same amount of baseball being played"
In response to Reply # 48


  

          

The time that's been eliminated isn't time of the game/entertainment, it's time that NOTHING WAS HAPPENING during.

People are still getting the same amount of baseball for their money. They are just getting less filler in between action.

54. "and that’s the experience."
In response to Reply # 51


          

The nothingness of the game is where you found out a lot about
baseball, and real baseball fans know what that is.

You don’t and didn’t watch football for that experience…but you do with
baseball.

Ken Griffey in the swing area, removes the donuts, slowly comes up
to the plate and stares down the pitcher, the pitcher stares back….
Griffey scans the outfield and gets into his stance…The pitcher looks
off a pitch, agrees with a sign and then gets into his wind up and delivers
a fastball…CRACK!! Griffey blasts one over the wall for a homer!

It’s the build up to the play and the play itself that makes it baseball.

Baseball is a turtle that’s not meant to be a rabbit or a cheetah….

and people are starting to realize that difference…

My coworker went to opening day at Yankee stadium and asked if it was always this turnt up at baseball games. DJ’s playing unedited versions of songs and shit

Said they were “skeet skeet skeeting” in the 3rd inning and shit.

“Also, for parents spending hundreds of dollars to take their kids to a ball game, with the inevitable multiple bathroom breaks that their child is going to have, as well as waiting in line for a pretzel and hot dog, their enthusiasm may change when they realize they missed multiple innings.”

That’s just made up?

It’s quite evident that baseball has gone from one extreme to another.

Here is one fan’s take from New York:

“anyone else think that these baseball games are WAY too short ? like it’s really making me contemplate watching most if not all games on TV which i haven’t done since literally i was 9 i’ve gone to minimum one game per season at least. but to travel to the park in queens for this short that’s crazy. #LGM”

( those snippets were taken from the article that I posted)

You got fans traveling through all sorts traffic and taking hours to get to the stadium,
only for the game to end in 2 hours and having to turn right back around?
You think New Yorkers and Californians are going to put up with that

Those are valid issues and quite evident….

yes.. their enthusiasm “MAY CHANGE” which means they haven’t experienced it yet, they just predict it will happen. Parents already know the chances of missing innings are high due to kids small ass bladders which is why concessions have hundreds of TV’s showing the game.

one whole fan? wow.. change it back, he’s actually contemplating watching on TV instead of going to his minimum 1 game a year.. lmao.

Look, I know this not sustainable at this rate. But this gives me a lot of hope for our potential.

Coming into the season, I was worried about whether we had enough offensive firepower. And I get that these 9 games were against Washington, Detroit & Oakland. But to be a good team, you gotta take advantage of the bad teams. And we put up some fantastic numbers.

It's good to see that we have talent & ability to hit & score. Now my only concern is staying healthy.

Why does a professional baseball team need to be a babysitter to thousands of adults? If you’re driving, cut yourself off at the appropriate time. Let the rest of us enjoy ourselves.

This is America. We dont like rules, but we also like excess.
Can make for a bad combination. I imagine some of these rules were born out of liability worries

People live close to baseball stadiums. I think it's pretty reasonable to ask that these billion dollar corporations forgo nine full innings of beer profit and instead take seven and let people be slightly less drunk when they get to their car.

In response to Reply # 70


  

          

If some moron is dead set on getting tanked, they can just buy a bunch of beer before the cutoff and keep drinking. And 30 or so minutes ain’t doing much to sober up these morons anyway.

I very rarely drive when I go to the stadium, so it’s annoying to me that because there are a handful of idiots out there, the baseball stadium has to babysit every adult. It was especially dumb to me when I lived in New York cause probably 75% or more of the fans arrived by train.

In response to Reply # 65


          

after growing up as a Cardinal fan in the 80's/90's when we had a ton of black players to having none I have high hopes for Jordan Walker. And actually pitcher Jack Flaherty is biracial and identifies as black but almost nobody knows because he's clean-haven and wears his hear short most people think he's white. I didn't know until he spoke out about it a couple of years ago in Jackie Robinson Day he said something to the effect of "WE as African-American players need to get more African American youth playing baseball" I was like "whoa!" and had to google his background lol...

In response to Reply # 73


          

Sometimes I see a young woman wearing a mantilla in Mass and I think "that's an incredibly old-fashioned look for somebody in her 20s." But having 2-3 old women sprinkled around a church wearing a mantilla at Mass is exactly perfect, and those old women had to be young at some point. So that's how they keep the tradition alive.

Same with rec specs.

83. " Max Scherzer ejection was bullcrap."
In response to Reply # 0
Thu Apr-20-23 12:53 PM by allStah

          

I’m not a huge fan of his, but how can you eject a player who did not
use any illegal substances, but you claim his hands were sticky?

He did everything the umpire asked him to do, and the only thing he used
used while on the mound was rosin, which is legal…now if the mixture of rosin
and sweat makes the hand tacky, that’s not Max’s fault…

And his pitches had the same consistent spin rate per computer readings…

There was nothing strange about his pitching.

I read somewhere that 3 pitchers have been ejected this season
by this umpire. ..not sure if that is accurate or not

In response to Reply # 83

I believe those are the only 3 ejections for foreign substance. So some educating is in need if so.

edit.
Just read that rosin can be deemed an illegal substance if overused and its only to be used on the mound. So if he is in the dugout making a nice rosin mix between innings he is fucked. No way to prove he wasnt. So its looking like he is missing a couple of starts.

87. "Yes. That umpire definitely needs to be educated or re-trained"
In response to Reply # 85


          

in my opinion..That’s why I made a note of how many times he has ejected pitchers
for so-called using an illegal substance.

And as far as the rosin, it’s still bullcrap, because as you stated there is no proof
that he tried to manipulate it. Plus he did everything the Umps asked him to do:
changed gloves, washed his hand with alcohol, etc.

It just appeared to me that the umpire had it out for him regardless…and now
he is going to miss games because of it.

They all hit about .100 and do absolutely nothing.

Every night a different reliever gives up 3 runs in one inning to blow the game.

Letting Trae Turner go and then having Lux go down for the season was a killer.

we dont have the fire power we had last year. But this group is doing decent. Muncy is getting it back, the kids are hitting. I think the offense is doing fine at this point in the season. But the pen has been atrocious. Also no closer still.

to haunt them. He is crushing them, 3rd Home run this year against them, and
a huge pick up for the Cubs ( and a wonderful replacement for losing Bryant).

And I got him in Fantasy!

They have been beating the crap out of the Dodgers

he refused to change anything. I think we all knew he wasnt going to change unless he got a change of scenery. I think he needed that kick in the ass and that loss in money to properly motivate him. He is an elite centerfielder but he just looked lost at the plate. I bet he struggles again this year if we resigned him.

His 2020 COVID shortened season could be called a “down season”. Still hit 12 HRs, but OBP% was significantly lower.

The following 2 seasons, he was absolutely horrific at the plate.

What a strange analysis to ignore him hitting the Mendoza line the past couple years.

No idea why, but it’s obvious he needed a change of scenery to get back on track. He got what he needed, so good for him! There was no reason for the Dodgers to keep him around.

to have that kind of drop off, and if you throw in those pandemic years ,which was
a huge interruption for some players, that played a role as well.

If he were a much older player then yeah I would understand the lack of interest,
but for a 27 year old who has already proven his elite two-way ability, I think
you have to make an exception in that situation.

You just don’t turn your back on an elite player,
who is possibly JUST entering his prime because of
2-3 years of bad baseball..

MVP, WS,etc should have brought him another year or 2
with the Dodgers.

Hell Juan Soto looks like he is going through something similar, is
24, was terrible last year, and is now batting .174…wonder if
Padres will lose interest if he continues to struggle.

You are making WAY more out of this than there needs to be. They hung on to him for 3 seasons while he sucked, it became clear that he needed a change of scenery, so he signed a deal with the Cubs and it’s working out. He wasn’t even traded. How did they turn their back on him lol?

They didn’t offer him a contract. That’s losing interest and going the other way.

They thought he was shot. They offered him
NOTHING. Former MVP, GG,SS…It is a big deal. He wasn’t some
squad player.

“In the end, the Dodgers decided Bellinger, hampered by injuries the last two years, strayed too far off and didn't tender him a contract for next season, making him a free agent. “

We agree to disagree.

I’m not a fan of the arbitration system, but the Dodgers gave him a decent amount of money through it in hopes that he would get back to that MVP level, which he didn’t. Why should they feel obligated to offer him a contract when it was clearly not working out?

they didnt offer him a contract because they gave him every opportunity to fix his swing and he stayed with the same old bullshit that was proven to not work. When asked about changing his swing he said the swing im working with feels comfortable to me so im going to stick with it. This after 2 horrible seasons. When a young player doesnt show willingness to change its time to part ways.

On 4/20, Bellinger hit a 420ft Homerun.

It was his 4th HR on the year, and his 20th hit on the year.

He keeps this up and he will win comeback player of the year and MVP.

In response to Reply # 0


          

working from home 3 days a week and being able to watch tv while working gives me the ability to watch a lot of different shit. Having the MLB package (fuck you, Bally Sports) enables me to watch a TON of baseball. I'm talking Orioles at 1 pm on a Wednesday-type shit. That said:

So glad we gave up Arozarena for Matthew Liberatore....SMH!

The Angels' fun level is 1 million...I really hope they can figure out the bullpen. I don't think they will be a contender, but they can at least be a competitive team toward the end of the season.

Ding Dong. Who's there? Jorge Soler!

Tampa Bay is just organizationally better than your team. Sorry.

Tatis Jr. is built like RGIII at Baylor, but fuck can he generate power. Hope h's off that cream and clear.

Max Muncy has the sliders turned all the way up. Dude has 10 homeruns as of April 23rd. Last year, he didn't hit his 10th homer til August.

Mookie played SS yesterday and was straight snaggin. What a stud, man.

Pirates called up a 33-year-old who has played 13 years in the minors. Shit made me legit cry.

Are the A's really gonna drive the tank to Las Vegas??

Brandon Crawford has been a Giant since I was in high school. I'm sure of it.

What are the Reds?

Bucs on a heater after losing their young, wunderkind.

No, really...what are the Reds?

We finish this series against Houston and then go to Chicago against the Sox. After that, every team we play is over .500 for the whole month of May. Folks are saying we had a soft schedule to start but this more than makes up for it. Let's see if we're up for the challenge.

124. "I still don’t know if he is really good yet."
In response to Reply # 122


          

He is very solid, but he has only one AS appearance, and he will be 29 in January.
Of course, he isn’t old, but is this his ceiling?

For any other team, the contract is chump change, but for the Pirates it’s huge. This is
the first time that the pirates have given a player a 100 million dollar contract. It’s the
richest deal in franchise history.

They haven’t really had a star player since McCutchen, and they are an extremely small
market team, which is why it is hard for them to get AS players and to keep AS players.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out…

When Tony went to the hospital last year, Sox were 3 games out of first….
by the end of the season they were 10 games out.

Now they have a new coach and look at how poorly they are playing

all while their payroll is just under 193 million a drop
from last year’s 221 million..and they played like shit

Anyone can throw money at the situation to build a club by getting
all the top FAs ….but knowing how to find talent and getting the necessary players
to build a winning team isn’t always about money.

Also Chris Sale is looking better and better with each start….

been wanting that dude gone for years. They fired Schildt, a Cardinal guy to the core, because he wasn't a kiss ass. The players loved him and he actually had made a lot of progress. We were never going to beat the Braves in that wild card series. Pitching stinks and Yadi isn't hear to correct their flaws on the fly, anymore. Now we're going to move Contreras to LF and DH...only to hear 2 days later...nah, just DH. The fuck you pay him 75 mil for???? They got their heads all the way up their asses and the Cardinals culture shit is running on fumes.

they been doing that for a minute. It's not cool at all, really. I guess it's supposed to be neato, inside baseball or something...but it comes off ham-fisted and usually the players look/sound annoyed.

In response to Reply # 140


  

          

but if that's me i'm saying some shit like "don't ask me about my dead mom on mother's day" and ripping that mic off and putting it in the dirt.

i might get in trouble but i'm winning public opinion and guaranteeing i never have to wear one of those mics again.

i understand them trying to create fan interest, but take away the horrible question - it's just awful asking players stuff while they are trying to field their position.

In response to Reply # 138


  

          

I may have seen them interview OFs in slow games before, but:

1) There’s no more slow games, so they should probably cut this based on that alone.

2) infielders REALLY gotta pay attention to everything, definitely don’t interview them.

3) if you feel you have to interview in-game, maybe just stick to light questions like “who’s the funnest guy in the clubhouse?”

4) bringing up a dead loved one… wtf???

I didn’t watch any clips myself but a week or two ago they had a catcher mic’d up while he was behind the plate and it was apparently like Bane X 10 because the mic was on his chest plate. Somehow the batters couldn’t hear him so that’s kind of a win, I guess, but it sounds insane

In response to Reply # 146


  

          

The Angels only visit the Os like once a season so there was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity to see Ohtani pitch and play. Plus, a 6:35 start on a beautiful 75 degree evening at Camden Yards? Shiiit (c)

Ohtani did not disappoint. His HR was a thing of beauty. It was just a rocket, line drive…one of the quickest HRs I’ve witnessed.

The Os lost, but was definitely a fun experience all around.

Raul Acuna, Jr? Home run in 3 straight games

Luis Roberts - 4 home run in 4 straight games

Aaron Judge - 5 homers in his last 4 games

Ohtani? Doing it on both sides of the ball.


I gotta say acuna Jr,,, 2nd in home runs, first in hits, 2nd in stolen bases,
first in runs, second in batting average ..dude is doing
Rickey Henderson shit. Luis Roberts a close second because he has been on a tear.

Muncy is raking too ..Arenado is also on some killer hr shit. 5 straight games with a Hr

But Acuna is a beast above beasts
