I'm really happy about this Paxton move. Too bad we couldn't also get Felix.

Why would the cubs not offer Lester anything abd watch him aign for $5 million in DC and then bring back a possibly worse arrieta at $6 million? Why get rid of Schwarb for 8 million then bring in joc who is almost exactly the same for 7 mill? Why get rid of almora then bring in another all glove no bat guy in marisnick? If they're going to tank, then why not let me watch the World Series guys who i love suck for a combined total of like 2 million more?

Too lazy to go hunt down all the tweets but from comments Hoyer and Crane Kelly made it sounds like they very recently got a bump to the team budget because of more favorable COVID projections, which let them go out and pick up Joc and Jake.

Extremely owns that Paxton is back and hopefully is almost all of 2020 off did wonders for his body to recover. I think he would do a lot better in a 6 man rotation. Right now Mariners have: Gonzalez Kikuchi Sheffield Flexen Paxton Dunn / Margevicius That's... okay. But I know Logan Gilbert is probably coming up, with George Kirby and Emerson Hancock not far behind.

Just because I really like Foolish Baseball (and fantasy-booking a whole league), I want to bring this back up. His ideas:
-Pitch clocks are dumb and time between pitches isn't the problem. -It is too radical to change the mound distance -The shift is good. Learn2hit scrub -12-team playoff bad. Win your division, scrub. I could see a case for adding 2 teams and splitting AL/NL play again, and creating 4 divisions in each league, so you only have 3 other teams you're playing against for a playoff spot, but this would necessitate the elimination of the (very dumb) WC slot and (dumber) WC play-in game. --- -I'd do away with the salary cap, but peg the salary floor at 1/3 the average salary of the 5 highest payrolls, and also have it set to never lower (so there's no collusion incentive). -BONUS: If you finish last in your division 4 years in a row, it triggers an automatic sale of your team. --- -Quadruple RBI's budget and incentivize tons more youth play -Instead of free tickets, make it like it was in the '20s: tickets after the 2nd inning are 50¢ if you bring a child under 12. Get kids to the ballpark any way you can Shrecknet fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Feb 15, 2021 |

Shrecknet posted:-Pitch clocks are dumb and time between pitches isn't the problem. -longer commercial breaks (never getting rid of this under capitalism) -time between pitches Time between pitches is also what makes a game *feel* sluggish and slow. They should work on reducing it, but they could do so without an explicit pitch clock. NPB has incentives for this on the hitting and pitching side, where teams and players get fined/rewarded for being habitually above/below the benchmark.

This is the thing. A pitch clock isn't needed, the problem is hitters who take time to adjust their gloves, tap dust off the cleats, adjust their grip and scratch their nuts after every goddamn pitch. It's already in the Official Rules that a batter needs permission to step out of the box, the umpires just refuse to actually enforce it.

I don't like the pitch clock, but I feel like it's inevitable. Salary cap no thanks, never not once. Banning the shift is dumb, there is a clear and obvious way to beat it. Service time manipulation needs to go, no more gaming the system by calling someone up at a certain date to get an extra year. Not a fan of moving the mount either back or up/down

Do you people watch baseball? When batters step in, pitchers hold the ball for 10+ seconds on a regular basis... then the batter steps out and they repeat.
