  1. That's what serious baseball fans want, but they don't care about us They've already got us. They want to entertain new fans.
  2. Yes, he says untrue stuff on purpose, but I don't think he knows what he's doing in terms of some master plan. I don't think there is any thought put into his lies. it's all done in the moment. He is a salesman. I don't think he distinguishes between reality and falsehood. He just wants to make the sale and his customers buy pretty much anything he sells them. He does not need to figure out how to straighten out the falsehood later, because the truth has no value to him.
  3. He is making good progress. He is not a star yet. He is valuable as a strong side platoon player who they can plug in at a couple of different spots reasonably well. He hit lefties in a small sample last year, but needs to that over a full season. He's not a plus defender, so he needs to hit a lot to be a star.
  4. If injury rate is the reason, they could go back to having ties.
  5. I have always been a peripheral fan of college football, so it doesn't bother me so much, but the conferences are ridiculous. I understand that it's all about money, but it's absurd to have conferences so big that a school doesn't play half the teams in the conference in a given year. I also hate college football overtime. Just like baseball, it bothers me to see one set of rules for regulation and a different set of rules for overtime.
  6. Yes, it's coming. The relentless promotion of gambling and extra inning base runnrers have definitely eroded my love for the game. It will take another big hit with swing offs.
  7. As you know, most of us here are not the target audience. I never feel like the target audience.
  8. I think Trump and many of his supporters are also misogynistic and there are conservative women who don't have a problem with that. Or at least they have less of a problem with misogony that they do with what the other side offers or is perceived to be offering.
  9. I think their target audiences are different. This is probably overly simplistic, but I think Limbaugh targeted pretty much the same audience that Trump now targets and that is no accident. I think Rogan targets young males without much regard to politics.
  10. Nobody tells Lance Parrish who he can associate with!
  11. Congratulations to the World Champion Yankees!
  12. That must be why he pitched so poorly.
  13. I watched the first couple of derbys out of curiousity. The concept was OK but I thought it was poorly exceuted. It lasted way too long for glorified batting practice.
  14. I cant remember the last time I watched. I used to like watching the games when the leagues were more separate, but now I just don't care. I followed the boxscore throughout the night to see how the Tigers were doing.
  15. The allstar game means nothing to me, but I see this as a trial to see how fans respond to it. I don't trust Manfred at all.
  16. So, who won the game? I still see a tie when I look up the boxscore.
  17. I didn't even watch the game. I just checked in here now. I care less about the allstar game than a spring training game. My concern is if they try doing this in regular season games. You might say it will never happen, but who ever thought extra inning base runners would happen?
  18. Wait until they start doing it in regular season games.
  19. I used to joke about how they were going to end games with homerun derby. Now, it's actually happening. What a joke.
  20. It really doesn't show anything. .565 is not a little over .500. It's a 92 win pace over 162 games. That would have been better than any other team in the American League that year. And they didn't really build up a big lead until late in the season. The Blue Jays were within striking distance well into the summer.
  21. I AGREE TIGERS NEED TO STOP COASTING SKUBALL IS TRASH AND THE WHOLE STAFF SUCKS FOR WEEKS NEED TO DFA FLARRITY HE IS USELESS!!! THE HITTING CANT KEEP UP GREEN IS SPOSED TO BE THEYRE BEST HITTER AND HE IS GOING TO STRIKE OUT LIKE 300 TIMES HINCH IS TOO SOFT NEEDS TO START SCREAMIMG AT THESE BUMS HARRIS NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING!!! STOP SITTING ON YOUR HANDS MAKE A TRADE SHAKE THINGS UP THIS TEAM IS GOING NOWHERE
  22. You are right about McLain. When I looked it up after my original guess, I was looking at 1965! So, I was off by two.
  23. That was before McLain had his huge years, so I would guess that they were all hitters: Cash Kaline Freehan Horton.... I was off by one.
