    The argument is that it's boring, and means you don't get to see the best players bat as often. And football teams can punt out of bounds instead of to Hester, so what? You can foul Shaq and cross check Kane. This sort of micromanaging the rules has no benefit. There are repercussions to the IBB, you are putting a guy on base, and potentially throwing off your pitcher's rythm. There's no way you can do this without just banning all 4 pitch walks, because a pitch around isnt' all that hard. It's not like this postseason has lacked offense or big hits by big time players. This is much ado about nothing and just nitpicking at something that doens't need picking.

    How are you going to differentiate between intentional walks and a 4 pitch walk? The idea would be that it would encourage less intentional walks though. How many times would you actually see this come into effect? Are teams going to want to put Pujols on 2nd or 3rd base intentionally? Nope. They'll pitch to him instead. I'm playing some devil's advocate here, cuz I'm not sure what I think of it. But it's fun discussion fodder. Who gives a crap? The IBB isn't a particularly smart move, why are we making rules to force teams not to do dumb things?

    A mortgage is a good thing if you structure it properly and buy the right house.

    He only had 2 IBBs this season. But had 11 four pitch walks (IBB's included). Aren't we just talking about the IBB? it said 4 pitch walk. And that's a stupid idea. Baseball definitely needs to find a way to make games longer. You get 4 balls and 3 strikes. If you throw 4 balls before the third strike, the guy gets first base. No reason to make up new goofy rules.

    I got this same impression. I did not. I got the impression that the developmental side (minor leagues) would be busy as hell, but the FA (big league team) side not so. The whole time when he was answering that question about the major league team, I KNEW that "but" was coming about the parallel fronts (and [expletive] if he didn't do a great job of conveying it). I didn't get the impression that they would be throwing away next year at all. He basically went out of his way to come out and said that the two things aren't at all mutually exclusive. He could've easily taken the easy way and said nothing but the whole, "It's gonna take time," and nobody, seemingly, would begrudge him that if he did. Everyone seems willing (if not wanting) to be patient and throw away a year or two. But he didn't. He very clearly stated that every opporunity to win, every season, is sacred and he's not about to throw away a season.

    about his last days in Boston, he felt like the guy in office space with the stapler and a cubicle in the basement, that is when he knew he had to go to the Cubs.

    Well silly us, that's obviously public knowledge and we must be ignorant for not knowing. Not really an excuse to be an ass about something like that whether you knew of her transgender status or not. In what way was I an ass? Somebody said she still sounds like a dude and I said that can't be her voice. Yeah, there's no reason why somebody should know her story. You had to pay attention to a niche part of the media to know.

    She was an integral part of one of the most important modern publications about baseball analysis, and her surgery story was in the news.

    What does it take to be a successful general manager? (or something like that) An ability to be conspicuous in Starbucks.

    he's gone Officially? no. He's been effusive with his praise for everybody else, but when speaking of Quade says he's a nice guy who has done some good things and they are going to meet in a week or so to discuss some things that happened.

    pre-and-post-prime player question from the lady formerly known as a guy

    but it's a wang
  20. jersey cubs fan
    I like that answer. Personal policy not to discuss player payroll openly because it is an advantage to keep that number secret.
  21. jersey cubs fan

    Cubs are going to use the west coast offense.

    Immortal Gods, they are just like us. Theo pronounces "for" as "fur".

    Rich King asking about errors. Way to touch on the most important issues local television news guy who has been at the same position for 30 years.

    Theo's answer to the "compensation" question gives a strong hint that the Cubs are in a very comfortable position to let Selig settle it if Boston doesnt' accept their offer.
