Manfred: mlb considering “Golden at bat” rule
There have been plenty of big at bats that have been decided by lesser known names forever. It’s been a great part of baseball being different than any other game. This is just a dumb idea that is only going to put star offensive players in a position to fail more often.

Dodgers defenestrating Sox, Snell signs 5 years, $182 million
The sports are too different to compare. A floor and cap in baseball would help the product along with a few other things.

I’d be for a fan strike until there’s a salary cap and floor, but it’s not going to happen.

Jose Abreu back to the MLB soon?
“The MLB” has got to stop. Abreu? Good luck.

Dick Allen, Tommy John up for HOF Consideration
Yes, Cole has won a Cy-last year. Couple 2nds too. On the Hall of Fame highway.

Dick Allen, Tommy John up for HOF Consideration
These committee votes are kind of a joke. It’s more about who is on the committee than the players themselves. I wish there was a one time meeting of a blue ribbon panel to decide yes or no on everyone under consideration, and either you get in then, or you are forever not considered. Stop playing with old men’s emotions—and their families too. More than anything, the Hall should be about getting guys in their 40’s in so they can enjoy it with their families and come back to Cooperstown each year.

Cole is a stud if you allow him to be a stud. He was great.

Venable named new Sox Manager-per Merkin
Looked at his player page. His #1 similar player is Daryl Boston. Had to laugh. I like the hire, but what’s it really mean in the long run under a Reinsdorf ownership? Good luck, Will.

2024 playoffs...World Series: Dodgers/Yankees
It’s the little things in baseball. Some huge opportunities lost for the Dodgers. Not over, but the winner of this game is probably winning a championship.

RIP Fernando Valenzuela
RIP Fernando. He was a big deal in 1981 and had some other good years. Sad this is happening right before the Dodgers/Yankees Series.

2024 Playoffs - NLCS/ALCS
I remember him last year making two huge errors too late in the season. Maybe overall, he’s better than I know. But he’s had some huge gaffes in big situations.

2024 Playoffs - NLCS/ALCS
I just don’t feel the “division rival” hate anymore. Divisions are stupid with 6 playoff teams. If you would have told me before the playoffs started that the World Series was going to be Padres/Guardians, I would have been happy. Why? Because a fan base would be seeing their team win a championship for the first time. (Yes, some 90 year olds may have remembered the 48 Indians)

2024 Playoffs - NLCS/ALCS
Yankees and Dodgers wrap it up tomorrow night, the World Series starts Tuesday; not next Friday. I’m for that.

MLB needs Yankees/Dodgers, and they’ll probably get it.

RIP Harry Chappas
Just saw on baseball-reference. Died a few weeks ago. Little guy. Listed at 5’7”, but was shorter. Famously on cover of SI. Rest in Peace

Go Crew! A game 3 would be nice.

Wildcard Round
Padres/Dodgers and Mets/Phillies should be pretty intense. 3 out of the 4 Division Series are division teams playing each other.

All three games in San Diego, big guy.

Wildcard Round
5 of 15 and the one game knockout was better. I’m just saying.
