  1. pitch clock pitch clock pitch clock PITCH CLOCK PITCH CLOCK PITCH CLOCK just do a pitch clock you guys. all the other 'pace of play' ideas are bad and make baseball objectively worse
  2. I know writers don’t get to pick their own headlines, but a writer should be immediately fired and blacklisted for something like this
  3. The most obvious and easy rule would have been to institute a pitch clock. Stop legislating around it and just do it. Pitch clock, universal DH, call it a century. Just do it.
  4. I’m kinda whatever on the three batter minimum I’m just happy they didn’t ban the shift, which would have made me consider leaving baseball forever * **i only deliver empty threats
  5. We’ve lost Duke, all is lost. I don’t understand how tight things are. Like, are we not gonna resign Kris Bryant? What are we looking at here
  6. I think that article is trying real hard to say Harpers best days are behind him, but it would be hilarious and make me feel better about the whole thing. It would also make me feel better if Jason Heyward could hit the broadside of a barn but we can’t all get what we want can we
  7. 13 year deal with no opt outs seem bad for both Harper AND the team Harper passes on the chance to get a second contract in his early 30s, the Phillies pass on a chance to not have to pay this dude when he's 39 years old Bizarre
  8. stupid idiot ninnies could have had bryce harper instead we're gonna get 3rd in the division. this sucks man
  9. Someone text me when Harper signs somewhere
  10. I’m going to really hate it if baseball offseason are now: “nothing really happens until spring training, or even later”
  11. Harper had a bad year defensively but I can’t see any possible way you could say he was THREE WINS below replacement bad That’s Adam Dunn level
  12. i'm more excited for baseball in general just for something to pay attention to
  13. God Damnit can Harper sign somewhere and end our god damn misery This horsefeathers has stretched almost the entire way to spring training
  14. 2004 was way worse. They (had to) blow up the teams from 2003-2004 and you knew the 2005 team had no chance of being competitive. It was a surrender year after two years of relevance. Us deciding not to be heads and shoulders above the rest of the NL but still very likely a playoff caliber team does not match up to that.
  15. Its gonna be real stupid if Harper just resigns with Washington, which looks like the most likely scenario now.
  16. there is no universe, not any parallel dimension, where the White Sox are a more likely destination than the Cubs I don't care what the financial situation is. thats not happening. i look forward to this post being quoted and me being flogged for eternity.
  17. I'm gonna need the Cubs to do something exciting because there are no sports I care about until opening day at this point and the Bears horrible loss can't be all I chew on. So get on it.
  18. Losing Fangio sucks, even if it was mostly expected Thanks Denver Broncos. In the last 4 years you shipped us you're absolute trash head coach and we send you our sterling Defensive Coordinator.
  19. It can both be true that Nagy was conservative in playcaling in the first half and that Trubisky was pretty mediocre in the first half. In fact, that’s what I think occurred. I guess the thing is with a game this close you can point to any one lackluster factor in the game as responsible, because if any of those factors (late defense, short punt, more points earlier on, THE KICKER) they win. Such is life.
  20. If he is on this team next year I'm not watching a game (I will probably not follow through on this promise but ho-boy i'm so furious he was allowed to ruin our season)
  21. I wouldn’t say the offense did everything it should have. It basically didn’t move the ball until the 4th quarter - and Mitch was definitely up and down and made some great down field passes late. If he was on target early, they have the game in hand without resorting to a kick late. It is what it is.
  22. Sports are dumb. Well, it was a fun year. I look forward to 9 months of people arguing over whether Trubisky is any good because this year and this game certainly didn’t settle the argument. Fun. When’s baseball season?
  23. That’s your takeaway from the game?? No, my takeaway is parkey is a cartoon character. But we’ll also spend 10 years Flaccoing our way through the Trubisky years. Hey, Flacco won a super bowl. I’ll take it.
  24. That’s your takeaway from the game??
  25. He’s not allowed to wear a Bear uniform again. He isn’t. You can’t let him get in the field again
