The HRD for tie-breakers is fine in the minors/independent leagues, but I wouldn't want to see it in the majors. I could be persuaded if we went to a point system like hockey were a tie after 9 gets you 1 point, but whoever wins the tiebreaker gets 2 points. I mean what is the HRD, but the baseball equivalent of the hockey shootout?

Just leave the cages out there after BP and have the pitcher throw meatballs for nine innings of home run derby then, dingers are fun right? Let's just maximize the fun.

Peeking isn't against the rules, right? I feel like the banging scheme has made everyone think sign stealing of any kind is cheating, when it's absolutely not

Wouldn't beat writers love anything that ends the game in a reasonable timeframe? Even the beat writers that are kind of homerish are usually just begging for the game to end by like the 11th (not that I blame them)

more falafel please posted:Wouldn't beat writers love anything that ends the game in a reasonable timeframe? Even the beat writers that are kind of homerish are usually just begging for the game to end by like the 11th (not that I blame them) For sure. That was my thinking in my rush to Mad Libs the joke, but I can see how it would come across as writers being cranks about it.

Tauchman is like an excellent 5th outfielder. He's a very good baserunner too.

The Marlins are the only team in the NL East with a positive run differential (+9). The Marlins are in 4th place.
