  1. the site stil seems a bit wonky. I can't be the only person who's posted in the last 40 minutes. , eh?
  2. Yeah. What does "click in" mean?! I tried all sorts of clicking in and out, and cache clearing and rebooting. Absolute Zilch.
  3. Ads are working fine. 😕

  4. I tried to preserve a victory by posting today (May 4), but the game thread never updated, not even with my test post. It said there were 30+ new posts, but I never saw any of them.

  5. By "all" accounts? I got the idea (admittedly from a single Attanasio interview, post-Hader) that he was being hands-off of Stearns; he basically just shrugged when asked about the Hader deal, though he seemed to passively disavow it. Was he hiding something?

  7. One thing you can be sure of: the baseball establishment will NEVER shorten the game by reducing the time for advertising.
  8. I suspect and hope you are right about the shift ban not being severe in practice. Maybe we will see defenses in motion. But I am staunchly against the shift ban in principle, as you suggest. I would rather see the batters bat against the shift. If small ball was dying, the shift ban may have killed it. At least the batters will not care about directional hitting (as if they do now). Hitting it hard will still be all that matters. I think small ball is exciting and interesting. And unless your team is hitting the homer, that's an intrinsically boring play: swing, crack, and -play over- everybody just watches the ball. It really does remind me of how cricket is changing to a slug-away style. <Ramble complete>
  9. This thread will not get any better than this post. It can now be closed!
  10. I HATE HATE HATE HATE (&c. times infinity) the banning of the shift, It was an organic, natural innovation (though not THAT new). It should be addressed by adjustments in tactics and strategy, not in a committee room. But then, I still hate the DH. Before long, we'll have T-20 baseball (That's a reference to fiddling with cricket to make it quicker; the Brits should just switch to baseball!) Pitch clock? I despise time-wasting (except my own), but I'm not sure how that will work and have not even tried to understand it. Good in principle, but I withhold judgment, as if our opinions count for squat. Base size? Meh. It's fine.
  11. OK. "could" happen. But I had to flinch at (1) the idea of an easy schedule when beating sub-.500 teams hasn't been that easy so far, and (2) the euphemism of "inconsistent" offense when "consistently sub-par" offense would seem more accurate. But I'd love to be wrong and to eat these words.

  13. The ultimate doomsday conclusion may be a bit harsh, but the rationale that Stearns made a humongous mistake certainly seems SPOT ON, and Attanasio rather passively confirmed that this was a "major league" screw up. I hope CC can rally the players to overcome the screwup.
  14. I love this sentence: "[A]ssuming the strategy is to get a ring, fan outrage should pretty much never be considered because fans aren't experts."
