I assumed it was because there was a sinclair news broadcast from 6:00-6:30 so the ricketts bumped the Cubs to 6:40.

Yankees games switched to 6:30 last season. I assumed it was meant to end the games earlier.

Everyone loves a huge contract until the player starts to decline. Stanton was pretty young when he signed the extension, but he already had multiple injuries and a body type that doesn't age well. Turns out Jeter was right.

Teams seem to be getting a bit smarter about megacontracts tbh. The Harper, Machado, Betts, Tatis, Lindor etc contracts will have some bad years on the back end, but at least those players were still coming into their prime when they signed, unlike Pujols and Miggy who were already in their 30s.

Stanton was already pretty much a DH when the Yankees got him.....

I'm not sure which feed I'm watching, I think it's the Tigers, but one of the announcers sounds like he's been sedated. Curious if this is normal.

It's a full 162 game season. That's the definition of "it's a marathon, not a sprint." You know how football coaches like to break down the season into quarters? By that standard, we're a minute and thirty seconds into the game. Plenty of time for things to improve, yet.

This is 100% correct....







On the other hand the Phillies are undefeated and on-track for 162-0 and I won't hear otherwise. :colbert:

i just saw this, the previous pitch he hit a mile the opposite way and he was convinced it rang off the foul pole (it didn't)

so, he was probably pretty pissed off so just lined one out of the park the other direction

Hopefully it's just because you literally can't get it within 90 days of a positive test result. That quote doesn't make it clear that he wouldn't get one, but as mentioned above:

Bauer is 100% the type to complain and lie about vaccines and masks on Twitter for a year and then lie about a pre-existing condition to make sure he’s first in line for the actual vaccine. He’s a contrarian dipshit coward first and foremost.

Based on Bauer's comments on it this spring it sure sounds like he doesn't want the vaccine and thinks it'll harm him somehow.

It's not unlimited substitution - now you're just using circular logic to define your stupid position. It's just a 10th position that doesn't have to play the field

That makes it not a position by definition.

Nine positions in the field, nine players take their turns batting and in the field. Letting someone else bat for the pitcher is a form of unlimited substitution. Either get rid of it or institute split squads and be done with it. Football was a single platoon sport until the 40s too.
