Re: Game of Thrones
If I say anything really stupid I just watch the shows and don’t really read stuff online, so I’m sure I’m missing all kinds of stuff.

Re: Game of Thrones
My prediction is Dany commands the dragons to burn Jon to test the theory of who he is. They either refuse or he survives the flames. This all happens after Jon steps in because Dany is about to burn Sansa.

If he has 550 plate appearances next year, he would again have the right to void the deal and become a free agent.

Re: Rule Changes Are Coming
They really should have just eliminated warm-ups on the mound if you come in after an inning starts and also eliminated the manager walking to the mound to make the pitching change. If the manager walks to the mound it should have counted as a visit even if the pitcher is removed. Also, are there wa...

Re: Rule Changes Are Coming
It’s not good to have important games lasting until stupid times of the night on fall weekdays, well you can but I don’t see how it doesn’t hurt the games growth. It’s tough because changing baseballs rules is challenging even though the other major sports do it frequently. I don’t know if this is ...

Do you have to face 3 batters if you finish an inning after facing only 1 or 2 batters?

Re: AAF 1st (only?) season
In my opinion the most exciting iteration of one of these leagues is if it becomes a viable alternative to NCAA for future NFL stars. If minor league baseball and college baseball can coexist, why can't the same thing happen in football? The difference is college football makes a lot more money. Bu...

Is there any chance if this gains traction that elite high school players will choose this league instead of college? Is that even allowed?

Re: Kris Bryant is awesome and we were always right to love him
My brother and I were taken to Cardinals Caravan by family friends that we often went to baseball games with. We were going to see Ozzie Smith because despite being Cubs fans my dad loved Ozzie. My parents were admittedly naive enough to send their two sons in Cubs stuff to such an event. So we’re i...

Re: The Bryce is Right, Bitch
Maybe the Ricketts are just trying to drive up the odds in Vegas and their rich buddies are going to place bets on the Cubs signing Harper at very long odds? Right? RIGHT?

Re: The Business of Baseball (AKA never side with management)
I haven’t read all of the ideas, but when it comes to draft order I would prefer the teams are broken into 3 sets of 10. The 10 teams with the BEST records to miss the playoffs get the first 10 picks, then the bottom 10 teams get picks 11-20 and the 10 teams that make the playoffs get 21-30. The tea...

Re: The Bryce is Right, Bitch
So, even if you buy into everything you just said, what more do you want from the owner than what the Ricketts have been? And, again, Harper still hasn’t signed elsewhere. And even if he does sign elsewhere that doesn’t automatically mean the Ricketts are maximizing profits over winning. I’m not try...

Re: The Bryce is Right, Bitch
You all need to learn to separate your political views from every single aspect of life, especially the parts that are supposed to be fun. A lot of sucky stuff is going on, but I’ve become a lot happier by not letting it be on the forefront of my mind all day every day. Can’t change anything anyway.
