QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 11:28 AM) Honestly...how does this have any bearing on Gar or Pax or anyone else. This was two players getting into it and one ultimately snapped. Hey man, if Paxson can punch someone in the face why can't Bobby.

2 more assets handled perfectly by Gar Forman.

Will be interesting to see if Padres try to acquire so many rule 5 picks again or if they feel need to start protecting more of their players.

Portis may not be a building block but there were times in the celts playoff series he looked like the best young player on the floor. Not someone in our situation you want to be forced to give away. I do think a lengthy suspension is necessary and I also like putting him down in G League. However, I think if Niko files a battery? charge it's warranted and I wouldn't blame him. He obviously won't.

Hard not to watch Frazier having time of his life and not root for him...Yankees and all

Very fun game

So Chams is reporting portis and niko fought in practice and Niko is in hospital

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 04:29 PM) So we start this proposal with Narvaez to allow them to maintain depth, and then add in something of nonzero but not huge value in addition? Probably have to be something from the lower minors, like a recent 3rd or 4th round pick or something like that? I agree with the quoted poster, when have Dodgers cared about having a glut of position players? I just don't see them getting any benefit out of spreading themselves out when Grandal > Narvaez and they'll just use the 10 day DL to make it work.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 04:12 PM) What's the mascot look like for a "something or others" ? Lyle Mouton actually.

I just think considering the hellfit the orioles threw there'd be no way in hell the league could get that past the yankees ownership (mets they could if they threw money at them).

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 12:42 PM) Right, because we've never taken games away, we've only ever added them. So all the records only ever INCREASE. How many homeruns should a guy have to hit in a 154 game season to be considered equal to the 162 game record? Also, coverage is DRASTICALLY different than it was in 1961. I'd say 69. Barry Bonds had 68 on game 154. But really I'd probably go with 61.

That said adding expansion into a juiced ball era could lead to some major offense.

It's meaningless but I do enjoy the different flavors of AL and NL teams. Expansion. Ehhh. I don't know. Is it really time? IN the expansion happy 90s they went after all of these emerging markets that for the most part still can't support a team. Certainly in theory it makes sense that Nashville or Raleigh are on their way to doing it, or obviously canada. But when it's actually time to consistently support seems unlikely.

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Oct 16, 2017 -> 06:21 AM) Nothing forces him to take a lead off.... I have no idea why this is even a debate. If he’s too slow to properly get back to the bag, maybe he needs to shorten his lead off. Any rule will just encourage bigger lead offs then pitchers are going to spend even more time trying to shorten leads and pick guys off which is bad for watchability of games. I don't think you understand what happened.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Oct 15, 2017 -> 04:10 PM) Dear Dowell Loggains: Please take the kid gloves off of Trubisky. You're getting s***canned at the end of the season anyway. With where the Bears are, wins are bad for the franchise, so please, let's open up the playbook. Sincerely, Jack Parkman Do you really think Dowell Loggains, who has been criticized for being too pass happy with Barkley and Hoyer, is the one deciding to have an 80/20 pass ratio?

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 15, 2017 -> 05:53 PM) 2 month old baby. Tragic. Terrible

So tiring of rooting for the same types of teams and coaches for 30 years.

We all know there really isn't anything compared to this. I mean, I disagree. Everything we've heard to date hasn't sounded that different than the Red Sox.

If there was an easy way for an umpire to see that a batter had entered a "safe zone" before a tag without it being an elevated, bright white object then I honestly wouldn't care. But for now and previous, an elevated base has worked pretty well, but we found that as we added replay review there are points when a player running at full speed and stopping quickly over an object may be off the bag for a split second causing an out. But we aren't allowed to ever propose any changes because clearly marginal changes like that have never happened. Just like how when a player turning a double play used to just be able to act like they were touching second but never did? And how that ruined baseball (it didn't) despite it being against this supposed hardline that players must touch and remain on a bag?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 13, 2017 -> 02:47 PM) Lame that it's not a regular season game, would be an awesome game if it meant something (and could probably raise more money). Kansas is not going to let that happen while Self is around, likely.
