    I'm gonna have to spend July ranting about just leaving Montgomery in the rotation instead of making some half-baked trade, aren't I

    You need someone who is at a divisional opponent and is a strong power hitter, and then is there for many years. Even if you hit a HR once every 3 games at Coors, it's still gonna take you 9 years of that pace to get to 27, and not many people stay in one place that long.

    Prospects have a 132% failure rate, feel free to be happy when they succeed without qualifiers. Except for Duane Underwood, that guy is fool's gold of the highest order.

    Germany please, I need this

    I really don't understand how Mexico got that half scoreless, if nothing else that is a stone cold penalty on Chicharito.

    Have to think a Cub is gonna take over that Busch stadium lead before long. Rizzo is the closest with 9, and he has 14 at Miller Park too.

    oh did Trueblood start out thinking himself with his thinkiness again

    The Joe Maddon Cubs have a .595 winning percentage in about 3.5 seasons, a 96 win pace. In May and June it is .538, an 87 win pace.

    that’s enough baseball for me today

    Presumably because the hat trick was 2 penalties and a shot from a teammate that unwittingly hit his heel. Against Panama.

    good job AAAA crew, 7 IP 1 R is nothing to be ashamed of

    Sounds like when it came time to make a frame order, someone had a little trouble with their friends at Gold Coast Bank. Maybe instead of hiring people to stuff frames from Craigslist he should've employed people from the business friendly village of New Lenox. He probably just decided to not bother with the 5th of every 9 orders and yours was the unlucky one.

    No one hates Joey Votto more than Reds fans.

    I look forward to marveling at his stuff and then looking up at his end line and seeing 4.2 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 3/2 K/BB

    Go Greendale?

    I did not realize that several Swiss players were Albanian, and that making Albanian celebration signs after they scored against Serbia was signalling to their comrades, many of whom are in Switzerland to...escape Serbian genocide. That's some kind of gratifying win to beat that country in a comeback.

    The slippery slope argument is a non-starter because no one is as bad at anything in baseball as pitchers are as hitters. Even playing late-career David Ortiz in center field isn't as bad relative to league average as pitchers are at the plate*. My personal preference is for NL baseball because I'm willing to sacrifice ~2 PA per team to get the increased strategy in the later innings, but I'd rather have both leagues be the same(even if they both have the DH) than the split that we have now. *This might be an exaggeration but I'm too busy/lazy to look it up.

    The big benefit from the 8 team divisions in the proposed schedule is that it takes a big bite out of travel costs. You could do eight 4 team divisions and weight the schedule with games from your division and a sister division for the same result, and the main benefit is about a playoff structure that is less desired(8 teams) or can also be replicated with 4 divisions. Unless we're switching to buses I think everybody touting He travel cost thing is making stuff up. You are still getting in a plane every 3-9 days. You are still staying in expensive hotels. I admittedly haven't done the math, but considering that thought seems to be coming from the direction of MLB/owners, who have the most to lose if that's wrong, and that the difference is really only considered in the context of making up the difference in 3 home games of revenue, I believe it.

    If you absolutely have to do best of 3 I think that's a good option to get closer to the one game atmosphere, but you don't need to do it at all. Just do the single game elimination.

    That is functionally the proposal that appears to have at least some momentum/interest from MLB: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/Expansion-Could-Trigger-Realignment-Longer-Postseason
