  1. Adames was sitting down in the dugout. Not at the rail. Didn't a Brewers coach get nailed in the dugout last year or a couple years ago too? It's the people in the "safe area" that are getting hurt. Most likely because they let their guard down because they think they're safe. I can't remember once instance of a player sitting by the rail getting hit.
  2. What I don't understand in all of this is doesn't Bally's or whoever employ all the people and own all the resources and equipment to broadcast the games? Does MLB just take possession of these things so the games stay on? And if so does MLB actually have people who know how to do this stuff? Considering this stuff came down like two weeks before the regular season started and is still going on mid-season it seems amazing to me that there has been no interruptions to the broadcasts.
  3. There are seats built in the dugouts right next to the railing. They are literally designed for people to sit that close. Whether that's a good idea or not is another thing. Some of you are acting like the bench at the bottom is the only place to sit and players are just hanging out in areas that they shouldn't be. I would think sitting way down in the dugout is actually more dangerous because you don't have a good view of the field and if a line drive was to come in there you probably wouldn't see it and then have no idea where it would ricochet off the wall. In fact, it may have happened, but I can't remember anyone ever get hit at the railing. It's always someone down in the dugout.
  4. A helmet wouldn't have saved Coolbaugh and a helmet wouldn't protect 99% of the pitchers who get hit on the mound because they almost always get hit in the face. Players getting hit in the dugout happens so infrequently that I see no reason to do anything about it. If something has to be done though just put nets in front of them. That would probably also stop some of the dumb bench clearing incidents too.
  5. This and nothing else. I would support a couple hundred million in tax payer money going to pay for it as well.
  6. I give you credit for your commitment to the Suter running gag. Shows perseverance.
  7. It's almost like spending money doesn't guarantee anything. Whoda thunk it?
  8. Basically the hitters are bad. That's what I'm gathering from these stats. I'd be curious to know how all those stats you presented compare to the players career numbers in those categories. If this season's stats are out of line compared to what they've previously done then maybe you can chalk 2023 so far up to the random variance of baseball stats and things may (hopefully) even out over the rest of the season. However, if the numbers are right in line with what they've previously done then we are in trouble and I would seriously start to question this front office's ability to evaluate offense. Something that myself and others have be doing for a few years already.
  9. I don't think Beane is even involved in personnel decisions anymore but for most of his years running things when he would trade guys who were getting expensive he would at least get talent back to keep the team competitive. Whether intentional or not, their trades the last half decade or so have done nothing to make the team better.
  10. Most likely Varland never becomes anything wherever he ends up. There's a reason he was a rule 5 pick. The vast majority of rule 5 pick's don't even turn into fringe 4A players.
  11. If the front office hasn't figured this out over the last almost decade, I don't think they will anytime soon. I'll give Arnold some credit for going and getting Winker and Anderson and actually making somewhat of an effort to improve the offense but the results are just more of the same.
  12. It's not all phones that are distracting people. Most new vehicles have so much tech in them they basically are phones themselves. I've been driving our van for almost 4 years and I still don't know how to do things quickly and without looking like changing the station and adjusting the temperature because I have to push that button to get to this screen and then slide this bar. Just simple things like that make me a less of an attentive driver than my phone does.
  13. His final numbers are probably going to look pretty similar to Todd Helton's and he was a handful of votes from getting in this year so if/when Todd gets in I think that would seal it for Votto.
  14. For some reason I was looking up Joey Votto's stats and I had always figured he was a lock for the Hall of Fame but I was surprised by how unimpressive his counting stats are for a guy who's played as long as he has and in a hitters park. He's probably not going to get to 400 homeruns and not come anywhere close to even 2500 hits. The rate stats are probably Hall of Fame worthy and he an an MVP so maybe he gets in.
  15. Are visiting fans going to travel to Mexico City? Nothing to do with crime but that doesn't seem like a trip people are going to make just to watch their team with the long flight and having to deal with international travel.
  16. This is neither "bugging me" nor "not bugging me" but the housing market is crazy. Our neighbors put their house on the market on Friday. They had a few showings on Friday and six on Saturday. They received three offers on Saturday and accepted one of them. I don't know how much they sold it for but they listed it for $70,000 more than they bought it for six years ago despite not having done a thing to actually improve the house.
  17. I hope they keep their minor league team out of the midwest. The weather here sucks for the first month of the season. There's no reason to make your players try to play in sub 40 degree temperatures and snow. I feel the same for major leaguers too.
  18. MLB needs to ban sliding. Too many injuries. Also, probably baserunning too.
  19. I was only counting the Warriors and Raiders as the A's haven't officially left yet.
  20. I'm not going to claim to be an expert on their situation but it seems like the city was doing little to help keep the team and not just when it comes to publicly funding construction. I believe the A's had a couple different stadium proposals and the city blocked them from even purchasing the land. Obviously it takes two to tango in any deal but it seems like neither side ever really wanted to get anything done. And it certainly doesn't look good for the city of Oakland that they've already let two other major sports franchise leave in the last few years.
  21. No details given but the fact that were suspensions of 6 games and 1 year, both for gambling, is just another example of the NFL's total inconsistency when it comes to suspensions.
  22. Surprised no one has mentioned Scherzer being tossed for a "substance" on his glove. Apparently he changed gloves and an MLB official watched him wash his hands between innings and they still tossed him. Also, apparently the umpire who tossed him is the only umpire who has tossed anyone for sticky stuff since they started checking.
