"He's got a big mouth" - Big Mouthed Man

oh well, there are other fish in the sea

ironically shifts might improve the pace of play if you determine they successfully limit offense (but there may be secondary effects where this causes teams to try to walk more) i think the push to eliminate shifts stems instead from them sucking some of the fun out of the game for a lot of people

It probably won't shorten game time at all. Any time saved by not making a pitching change will be offset by a pitcher afraid to throw strikes to a guy he doesn't feel he can get out, and/or shenanigans teams will apply to get around the rule. And any rule that favors the offense does not cut time out of the game. It's just such a pointlessly dumb rule. i don't even know that game duration is the issue, so much as big gaps of time where nothing horsefeathering happens and you gotta sit there and watch Bruce Bochy or whoever do their interminable waddle to the pitchers mound followed by eighteen meaningless warmup tosses before the same exercise gets repeated in two minutes after the new guy issues a walk it's the worst part of baseball and nobody likes it

Ethan Happ watching his teammates from the bench is the truest expression of disappointment

this is very unsettling https://twitter.com/tjcrosby22/status/1082466285110341632

this basically concedes Theo has zero moral compass, which tbh is pretty fair
-
during this whole saga, Theo is basically Homer watching the pig fly "it's just a little bit of domestic violence, he's still good..."

kind of funny that Descalso had higher WPA than Nolan Arenado & Manny Machado this year

looking at his stats, Raines' knees seems another tragic victim of Olympic Stadium brutality along with guys like Vlad & Dawson -
