    Oh no, not the divide. TAKE IT TO THE POLITICS THREAD, PAL.

    He'd probably also prefer it if pitchers could be stretched out by having batters have a limit on the number of pitches they can see in an AB, but that would be a terrible idea, too. Also: he's a big fan of batters being forced to swing at every other pitch with their eyes closed after the 7th inning stretch.

    Yeah, that I agree with; things like adjusting the mound and/or strikezone, or giving everyone the DH.

    People who think baseball is boring aren't going to suddenly not think baseball is boring because of any (within reason) rule change MLB could make. As a friend of mine put it, if you can't watch soccer for 20 minutes without wanting them to be able to use their hands and tackle each other, then you won't watch soccer. That doesn't mean it has to change. (An extreme example, I know.) You said there's nothing baseball can do to make it appealing to people who don't like it. I think there are things baseball can do to win over some of these people. Eh, I agree with him on this. Think about how lame hockey is and how much of an uphill battle it would be to give a horsefeathers about it.

    This sounds like a terrible idea for a non-existent problem. If you're already into extra innings, any chance of shortening the game by any meaningful measure has long since flown out the window.

    Man, the comments are a roiling stew of crazy, even for YT. I guess this is some kind of Freemasons theory, and apparently revolves around the number 46. Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes.

    Totally agree - just the way that the whole team reacted to it was fantastic. Making plays but staying loose. "He's like a kid out there!"
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Oh yeah, always.

    I don't want to like this because Chapman is human garbage, but I think it's OK because of Baez with the 2 great snags like it's nothing.

    I guess that's the whole "leopard changing his spots" gibberish; apparently there's a Kevin Ding who writes for BR, too. Man, what a fuckin' weirdo.

    Like I said, looking at it as an outsider it seems forced. By my own arbitrary rules, at the very minimum a good rivalry needs to be between teams who share the same state, or are in states bordering each other. You start skipping states, eh, it feels like reaching. And the fans thing, to this I also say "eh;" Reds fans flood Wrigley, but it feels more like annoyance as opposed to "YEAH, horsefeathers THE REDS." Any rivalry there feels more like a technicality than anything else. Obviously, that's not to say it's not an actual rivalry; it just feels like here in DC when I hear locals talking about the Redskins and the Giants like it's this heated, storied vendetta, and all I can think is, "aw, that's nice." And, as usual, it doesn't matter if any of this applies to college sports, because college sports are dumb. do you even know what you plan on saying when you start typing I'm like a low-rent Drew Magary, but with only half as many emotional breakdowns.

    Daaawww, his smile as he pulls into 3B is still the best.
