My hope is ROTY for Dansby (but my prediction is he actually regresses a little bit from a hot .300 with basically no power).

I've got to play it slow with Dansby. If he doesn't hit .230 or blow out a knee this year I'm calling it a win.

The White House declined the Nats' invitation for Trump to throw out the first pitch.

I wish some brave soul would attempt to convince Trump that the MLB anti-trust exemption should be over turned because baseball is a failing sport and it needs free market intervention to save it. It's up to Congress but they could see it as something they can actually work together on.

I read that yesterday, and it's a good read. I'll get to the point if people don't feel arsed to read it:

The biggest factor is the time between pitches, which is an issue caused by both pitchers and hitters. Instant reply caused a long delay, but nowhere near the pace of game.

I really hope, when Chipper gets elected to the Hall, that someone takes the opportunity to talk to players from the mid-90s about what Chipper was like as a young player. Was he an arrogant prick or did he keep his head down and just follow along with the more veteran players?
