Cut commercial time and stop making minor and mostly pointless tweaks to the game.

Three-man umpire crew. Keith Hernandez did a good job breaking it down. Umps were at 1st, 2nd, and home. In that situation the HP ump rotates over to third, and the 1st base ump was supposed to cover home, but didn't.

I love having games to talk about instead of endless arguing about labor relations and unsubstantiated rumors.

Although that said Spring Training wears thin for me real quick.

Spring Training is basically a prospects showcase, the regular season guys barely do anything until a few weeks before the season starts.

Chasen should probably legally change his middle name to this. It's how people know him

And she did it in four innings lol

It could never happen in MLB because for the final HR the batter would either get pitched around or thrown at

This is a pretty interesting video on how major league (Cubs) scouting is organized, if you're interested in that sort of thing.

How good is it at explaining why the Cubs have completely and utterly failed to successfully scout and develop a true homegrown SP since Jeff Samardzija? Asking for a friend.

The hit rate on pitching prospects is so bad though.

The Yanks got Aaron Hicks for John Ryan Murphy

Also 70M for a good defender with a strong bat goes to show how hosed the economics are right now. (It�s only just under 1000 PAs but drat)
