    That would have been 1940s for me. I knew Peewee Reese and Lou Boudreau, but I know that a lot of (most?) kids wouldn't know them.

    The MLB.

    buddha types faster than me.

    Right, he wanted more money

    At what point do people finally figure out that they are being robbed?

    He was dividing the league into two levels, so we can have relegation.

    Big divisions are better than small divisions, but with half the teams making the playoffs, it's not going to matter anyway. The regular season is going to meaningless.

    Ohtani will still bat. Also, there is a rule where if a team is forced to move a DH to a defensive position they lose the DH for the rest of the game and the pitcher has to bat.

    Good points.

    They are worth less in baseball than other sports, but talent evaluation has improved a lot over the last couple of decades. Would we be so optimistic about the Tigers future without Mize and Torkelson? Their potential is a pretty big deal. I don't really think teams go into to a season looking to tank, but I think the temptation for an already bad team to tank down the stretch is strong enough to think they might tank.

    He'll be quiet in court and then incriminate himself in public. It won't matter though. Nothing is going to happen to him just like the past 40 years.

    It will be great when we all see how stupid they are and then the MAGAs brag about how they owned ther liberals once again!

    Are the homes necessarily being bought by large investors? Couldn't it be a trend where smaller stock market investors who became millionaires over the past decade have decided to invest in something real?

    Roughly only five guys are professional DHs each year, but that's about a third of the league. I remember when the DH first started in 72. I was young, so I may have the details wrong, but I remember there was discussion as to how it would work. Would the DH be connected to the pitcher or would he be a tenth position with no relation to the pitcher. Some felt the former was more logical. Others thought the latter would be good because it would help extend the careers of old players who couldn't play a position anymore. They went with the latter and I wish that they hadn't.

    I actually like that. I like it when teams have to make roster and line-up decisions about their unskilled players. That is an interesting part of the game.
  16. Tiger337
    This means that it should be easy to regulate.

    My annual upopular opinion about pitchers hitting: Just don't have them hit and let the other eight players bat. Then we don't have to watch pitchers who can't hit and we don't have to watch old slow boring DHs. We also get to see the best hitters come up more often. The argument is that it goes goes against tradition, but so didn't the DH when it first started. If they have to have a DH, they should limit the number of plate appearances a hitter can have at DH. What would be most logical is to pair the DH with the pitcher. When the pitcher leaves the game, you have to get a new DH for the new pitcher. If you are designated to hit for someone, you leave the game when they do. I have never liked the idea of a professional DH who only hits and does nothing else. That's not a baseball player.

    For a while now, I have seen Sheehan as some guy on twitter with contrarian opinions. He seems to be just living off his past work and is no more credible than anyone here.
  20. Tiger337
    Yeah, for one thing, I think time zone would be a lot more important than distance.
  21. Tiger337
    Nothing is going to happen to them. They are wealthy.

    The slower the game, the more time people have to place bets.
  23. Tiger337
    That was my point too, While the interchangeability argument makes sense, I don't think that is MLB's reasoning.
  24. Tiger337
    It was originally done because the AL wanted more hitting. I think injuries are a legitimate concern. I don't think interchangeability of positions was ever a consideration other than to rationalize why they don't do it like football.

    Thank you, I have decided to go with 165 instead of 160. 🙂
