    This is an absolute stink bomb. Way to sense an opportunity with Love going down, idiots.

    That sounds right, but that's on them. The Bulls aren't the only East team that was beset with injury issues during the LBJ/Heat years. I don't think we should bench Noah, guys.
  3. Andy
    It'll be interesting to see LeBron actually have to be on the team with the major injury for once rather than get his road to the Finals paved with marshmallows and candy canes.
  4. Andy
    Go ahead if that's all that's stopping you. They already said the game will be played. ETA: And I lied, they just announced the game will in fact not be played.

    Love out for the Bulls series.

    If the DH must be part of the game, this is an interesting compromise idea, though I doubt it would be enacted.

    Szczur hasn't been down 10 days yet and isn't eligible to return unless there is an injury

    I actually like Tapatalk quite a bit. The only things I wish it would change would be carrying over foes from the site and not making it so I have to exit and re enter NSBB for it to refresh the unread threads.

    I was around him for a short while when he came to speak at BSU and took the student newspaper staff out. Nothing in there even remotely surprised me.

    He's long overdue. If he doesn't dong tonight I'm going to have to go find out if he ever went this long without one at USD.

    I'm not sure about the latter. He's got some mysterious leg injury and I bet it affects him until he allows himself to be DL'd or the end of the season. He probably won't hit .160 or whatever all year but I'm not sure he's going to catch fire in the usual McCutchen sense. He was driving the ball yesterday, although limping around the outfield a bit on defense. I officially became worried about him on a double in our last series with you (I forget who hit it) that went into the RCF gap and Cutch was (or appeared to be due to injury) making basically 0 effort to get to the ball. It was sad.

    Even in Tweets, it's incredible how concisely and politely Len can make his points.

    Just because something has always been done a certain way doesn't make it the best way. Obviously, but just because something is a change doesn't make it the best way either. One of the moves mentioned in the post I was referring to there was the lowering of the mound, which made sense because there were like two .300 hitters the year prior and offense was at crisis point. Not being sufficiently entertained by the 2 PA/game that pitchers take is hardly 'crisis point' to me.

    This probably better goes in the DH/NL thread, but mostly the same reasons other people don't (strategy, baseball is 9v9, not 9v9.5 or 9v10, not letting AL pitchers throw at batters with relative impunity because they don't have to hold the bat, etc). In general, I get tired of leagues changing rules to appeal to the masses (looking at you, NBA) rather than just playing the game. I saw a graph the other day, intended to strengthen the case for the DH, that showed pitcher wRC+ has steadily declined since the DH was enacted. Gee, I wonder why that is. As is the case with seemingly everything in sports (changing the PAT, allowing basketball teams to move the ball to half-court without taking up time as if they stepped through a time warp, JumboTrons), I am resigned to the fact that I am going to be outvoted. except baseball is 9.5v9.5 or whatever you want to call it in 50% of the major leagues and the majority of others And I don't like it there, either.

    Drop Lucroy, add Matt Adams Should've done this a while ago

    No, all audio streams are blackout-free

    There is nothing unpatriotic about disliking that terrible, terrible song.
  21. Andy
    Great rebound inning Jake.
  22. Andy
    No chance the way he looked most of that inning
  23. Andy
    Great pitch, Frazier just better that time
  24. Andy
    NOT CONCERNED WITH RUSSELL ANYMORE GUYS
  25. Andy
    I will give it this, though, it would be classic St. Louis for this to be the tipping point that puts the DH in the NL. "A STL pitcher was hurt batting! This cannot stand!"
