Since the All Star Game is mid season in most sports, has there ever been serious conversation about whether players' performance in the back half of the previous season should be taken into account?

Kirios posted:NGL STAC propping up the Yankee bullpen only for one of their relivers to immediately get suspended for the season is pretty funny. The bullpen is like top in baseball. Cordero is part of it, big or small. Screw him. Suspend him. Remember when a domestic abuser helped win you a World Series and some were so happy for him? Only for Astros fans to now get a laugh out of a domestic abuser?

Well it's based on fan votes and player/managerial voting so in a way it already is if that's the factor people use to vote.

Ross rightfully pissed about some really bad ump calls and the Brewers closing the roof in the middle of an inning. https://twitter.com/ClubhouseCancer/status/1676377486110629888 The called strike 3s on Tauchman and Hoerner were egregiously bad, and the two worst calls in the game: https://twitter.com/UmpScorecards/status/1676600672500736002

Can we not have an argument about whose organization is the worst abuser-harborers? Any team that doesn't cut bait with these assholes is awful and calculating degrees just lightens the issue.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:Ross rightfully pissed about some really bad ump calls and the Brewers closing the roof in the middle of an inning. As far as I can tell the roof shenanigans were also rule breaking. Teams have the discretion to start the game with a stadium roof open or closed, but once that decision is made it can only be changed mid-game due to inclement weather. The weather was fine yesterday though, so the only reason they'd seemingly want to close the roof was because the afternoon sun was casting a ton of shadow onto the field and the Brewers figured closing the roof would improve visibility for their batters in the bottom of the inning. idk even if it was totally benign in nature it was still really bizarre

I thought the league office made the call on roof open or closed. I know for a fact you can't change it midgame, but what, do they fine the groundskeepers?

Maybe they should have thought about the shadows in their stadium for more then 5 seconds before building it. Every day game in Milwaukee it's an issue.

It did apparently rain a bit in other parts of Milwaukee so maybe that's why the umps allowed it? Supposedly Ross was allowed to challenge it but clearly he lost.

No I think it's just that when the ump goes to inform the visiting club that the roof position is going to be changed, the manager is allowed to make a case for it not happening.

Any team that doesn't cut bait with these assholes is awful and calculating degrees just lightens the issue. It's complicated. Zero-tolerance policies (whether explicit or implicit) have a large adverse affect on reporting of abuse. MLB has a pretty strong DV policy, and can and does hand down suspensions without criminal charges. If teams have a handshake agreement not to employ any player who's served a DV suspension, the effect wouldn't be less DV, it'd be less reporting. It doesn't make it feel less gross for your team or any team to pick up a player "at a discount" because of their abuse, but I don't think saying "any team that would employ Chapman/Osuna/German/etc is garbage and enabling abuse" is all that helpful either.

Abuse is terrible, suspensions are justified. Broadly I believe in forgiveness and second chances. I have no idea how to judge when someone has earned that. What kind of suspension or time or forgiveness or community service gets you there. It’s really not my place to decide, it’s the victims. I just rather not have the guys on my team so I don’t have to wrestle with the awkwardness of the question. I’m not gonna score points by saying the Yankees should cut a middling reliever. It’s weird that German is basically now locked into Yankee history. I have no idea what to do with that. I’ll probably learn to live with it. David Wells is kind of an rear end in a top hat too I think? I dunno. I just want to watch games and have fun and not have assholes ruin it whether they’re on the field, in the stands, online, or whatever.

Diaz/Lee starting next season with Maldy maybe becoming a coach would be nice. Feels like Lee is going to be tradebait though and I don't know that he's worth that much in a trade Really hoping they don't fully panic and trade Gilbert

Kilometers Davis posted:I feel so loving lucky to be alive while he’s playing baseball I was at a conference in SF during the final of the WBC, so I went to a bar to watch it with some work friends. Except none of them particularly care about baseball, so when it became clear that Ohtani was gonna face Trout for potentially the last out, I was futilely trying to get across how absolutely loving insane it was that what was just about to happen was happening. The last time I had felt like that was 2016 game 7, when it felt like the gods of baseball had arranged fate specifically to make the coolest possible thing happen.

What kind of bizarro universe are we in? The best staff in baseball, the #1 and #2 draft picks of 2012, and we're still only winning half our games. It's like we constantly return our 51-card deck for another one, over and over, forever.

https://twitter.com/MLBONFOX/status/1676743313230286850 Every year this bracket comes out and I am annoyed by some of the first-round matchups. They never listen to my pure and good advice on how to improve the format, which is to not have any head-to-head in the first round at all. Let everyone hit for full time and then seed the top four based on that result.
