did Almora punch you or a loved one in the face he did but it was such a slow and weak hit that I can’t hold it against him.

I was yelling yu-urns

Wrigley Renovations and Related Wrigleyville Stuff
jersey cubs fan replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
There will be an obstructed view of the right fielder for everybody because the owners were too cheap to sign Bryce Harper. -
The more this man tweets the more I understand what a mess the Bears were when he was there. Although he's hardly alone in his angry old white man approach as far as the league goes. Childress was with the Bears, and then he left to take one of those head coach jobs in the new league. He left that subsequent job over conflicts with the GM.

that shot is extremely hard to make and it's ... freakin twitter. calm down derwood damn, when you see dog rates give some pup a 11/10 do you criticize that too I do because a lot of them aren't actually dogs.

Here's a thing I don't understand about basketball. I see a relatively slow guy dribbling down the court making a bit of a goofy move to his left and throwing up an awkward shot that happens to go in. What about this play am I missing?

you are mostly dead to me

seniors ride to lester and hamels for free darvish line down for repairs quintana line will get you annoyingly close to your destination, but not actually at your destination

the problem with almora's game is that the cubs were mental to use their first round pick on him, folks

why am I hearing a bunch of camera shutters and somebody saying sorry?

Some of that stuff is kinda fundamentally part of baseball though..... But they're not? A lot of it is just the product of changes in the game from different eras. It's not like a billion pitching changes is some kind of ingrained tradition over the history of the game. Baseball is inherently a game of no action. Nothing happens in this game 95% of the time the game is taking place. Pretending that reducing pitching changes will rid us of that awful aspect of baseball where there is no action going on is misguided. Yes, bullpen usage has evolved. So has just about every aspect of the game. It has been the case for as far back as I know, that any pitcher on the mound has to face the next announced batter, and that is all. Arbitrarily making that guy face three is just incredibly stupid.

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. Wait...Time saved from no pitching changes is offset by a pitcher being scared? I'm not telling you to love, or even like the rule...and the time saved may be pretty minimal...but that seems like a pretty flimsy argument. Claiming this will save time is much more flimsy. When was the last time the players association agreed to something MLB wanted that didn't wind up with unintended consequences? Pitchers are going to pitch around more guys now, no question. If you force a manager to keep a guy in the game who he would rather replace. They aren't just going to rear back and throw him something to hit.

I'm not against it based on how it related to the Cubs.

If that happens baseball will be real quick to mandate a certain number of games pitchers have to miss if pulled from games due to injury. Well if a pitcher sucks so hard that he has to fake an injury then maybe he needs to sit for a few days anyways, haha haha
-
It's a pointless rule. It does nothing to grow the game. And to top it off, I hate the idea of any rule that forces guys to keep throwing high stress pitches if/when they aren't dealing. If you've got a guy you want to limit, this needlessly, with no benefit, puts that player at risk. What happens if some Johnny Contact comes up and fouls off 12 pitches? We're going to see a bunch of dudes coming out of games with "something not feeling right". It's just a completely pointless rule.
-
I'm not sure incentivizing overuse of starting pitchers is a good idea.
-
three batter is dumb AF and limiting the september rosters goes a long way to negating the benefits of the 26 man roster. the players union is so bad at this
-
to this I will agree

Man, PLEASE let this lead to them getting their Twitter account nuked. does the general barstool twitter account even matter? They've got enough individual douchebros that can have at least as much reach as the main one.
