    So now I expect Flaherty to allow 1 hit over 8 innings tonight.

    How early do you suggest getting to the ballparks? I'll have a rental car and plan to park near the fields.

    It will feel like '08 when former Brewer Martin Maldonado hits a HR in the 8th to win the game for the Astros on Wednesday and send the Brewers to the playoffs.

    They wanted to give a runner a slight advantage. They wanted to increase attempted steals (and to a lesser extent taking an extra base). Players are told to not steal as much because of the chance of an out is too high. So they are lowering the chance of an out.

    C- Melvin mentioned that the best time to trade a pitcher (especially a relief pitcher) is at the trade deadline. Every playoff hopeful team needs more pitching. During the winter there are multiple guys available to sign that lessons the trade value. So if we were going to trade Hader it made sense to do so either this year or next. I'm not thrilled with the return but that was probably the best deal available. If a team is in the playoff hunt and wants to pick up an $11M closer they are not going to trade a major league bat. I think the trade was because the front office thinks we will be in playoff contention next year and may have a better team (and a better chance of winning in October). That would make trading Hader next July a harder pill to swallow. Also less years of control will get us less back in return. Looking at what SD gave up I'm glad we didn't trade for Bell. It would have cost too much to overbid them. There weren't many other hitters that were significant enough upgrades that seemed to be available. Hopefully some are available this offseason for trades or free agents.

    Rondon has a 3.3 WAR (6th for P), 2.7 ERA (8th), 11.1 K/9 (2nd), 124 K (3rd), 0.36 HR/9 (1st), and 152 Adj ERA+ (7th). Like RWeeks23 said, surprised he wasn't already selected.

    Home plate ump took a foul ball off the mask and had to leave the game. The delay was for another ump to get gear on.

    I assume you're talking base pay and not with benefits included?
  9. RightFieldCoder
    Sounds like a normal day to me.
  10. RightFieldCoder
    Cousins needs to take some time away from close games.
  11. RightFieldCoder
    That's a lot of optimism for this offense.

    My old avatar is gone. This one will do for now. Do miss the signatures.

    He did not have a coordinated system to use cameras and trash cans/buzzers to decrypt information and pass it to the batter. There was a piece of paper laying on the ground that he picked up. Not worth a beaning even though he knew what it was when he picked it up. Blame the five AL owners who blocked the Diamondbacks from joining the AL. They were worried about the later start times costing them TV revenue. The owners liked the idea of a Florida team to play inter-division a bunch of times so the Rays were approved to the AL. These two moves would leave 15 in the NL and 15 in the AL. Since interleague was rare back then it would not have worked scheduling. The Royals declined to join the NL so the Brewers went. For the same reasons as the AL East teams there were no NL Central teams that wanted to join the NL West. Maybe all of this should have been considerations on whether to award a franchise?

    [blue]Why do we continue to let hitters run the bases? It just causes injuries to ask guys to do something they don't normally do. Just make a designated runner rule across both leagues. [/blue]

    Another subsection deals with the cup and allowed dimensions of that part. I'm certain the chip does not follow those. I agree that the spirit of the law was not broken. But I do understand why someone would take a shot at getting the hr called back. The only drawback is an opponent gets mad at you.
  16. RightFieldCoder
    One could argue that the chip in the bat means it is no longer a "round stick". It makes sense to only try to only bring it up after he has a big hit.
  17. RightFieldCoder
    No it wouldn't. We'd just complain that the robots obviously got hacked.

    Compound interest grows faster than your gut would assume. If the Mets invested the 5.9M in 2001 and got 8% back every year it would be worth 37.4M in 2025. They would have made ~7M by delaying the payments. They also assumed they would get 11%-13% and were set to make a killing in this deal. But the person who "guaranteed" that return ended up just being a fraud that lost them all of the original money. Add in the fact that it was a NY team and that is why Bonilla became the example everyone uses. It also fits the dream. We all dreamt at some point of being a ball player and making millions playing the game. Now the imagination goes to making millions for sitting at home after retiring in your 30s.

    I can't imagine a guy would pay for a gummy with just enough steroids to not be detected and then take 5 of them in a playoff game.

    There were 50 games last year and now there are 162. I'm fine with them waiting until Sept/Oct before they decide to start using him outside the traditional closing role. Especially if that makes the pitcher happy.

    He complains about all of the swing for the fences and strikeouts and says the answer is to change where the defenders stand.
  23. RightFieldCoder
    If you like to see a perfect game pitched with all 27 Hitters striking out, That might be a good idea to make it possible. I read his post and was pretty confused since I thought the premise of this thread was lack of offense and just unbearable offense in general to watch. Like you, I thought this was a good way to make offense even worse and even more horrendous to watch. If we were trying to officially kill the game and have zero viewership, those ideas would be fantastic. I am not sure the answer to making baseball better...but I am pretty confident those ideas are not said answer. I agree that those shouldn't be done (especially not multiple of them). I just think each of those on their own would be a better idea than outlawing shifts. That's how dumb I think it is to make some rule about where the defense plays. It's the same as having a rule about how many offspeed pitches are allowed to be thrown per at bat. We would be trying to stop teams from using smart strategies.
  24. RightFieldCoder
    Getting rid of the shift will just mean a longer game. Shaw will get a hit. But since no batter is changing their approach you'll still see the next two guys strike out. The best way to get rid of the shift is to incentivize hitters to hit against it. It's also really hard to hit the ball where it's pitched when the pitcher throws non-fastballs at 90+. It will be a little easier if you move the mound back and give the hitter more time to identify the pitch and go the other way. I'd jump straight to two feet back. A list of some radical ideas I'd rather see tried then outlawing the shift: 2 strikes and you're out. (batters would be incentivized to swing for contact early in the count) 7 balls to get a walk. (a lot harder to walk so guys aren't "looking" for them) If you get on base via walk you can't lead off. (removes "a walk is as good as a hit") Foul ball is always a strike and can cause a strikeout (just like a foul bunt). Bunting a ball foul with two strikes is no longer an out. (less penalty for trying to bunt)

    2011 without a doubt. It had Yuni B as at short.
