I wonder what people would say if one day, a player lost a limb in some freak accident. and through science he got a replacement prosthetic that actually worked a lot better than his old limb. would that be considered cheating then?

The local ratings are in the toilet nation-wide, but I don't know about the national ratings. That said, I'm sure more people are interested in baseball than fucking training camp. I'm not even talking about live games, just the amount of time spent with the talking heads

I think you'd be surprised. There is alot of baseball hate out there. I can't count the amount of times I hear the summer being called "the dark period" for sports, and about how they can't wait for "real sports" to start. Obviously, this is anecdotal, but I think the declining ratings for baseball kind of bare this out.

Americans are just getting more and more bloodthirsty and impatient. Baseball is a game about patience.

a lot. The rest of the Yankees' year is against the AL east for the most part

I just watched Dempster's hit on A-Rod. It took him 4 pitches to hit Alex, with two of them right at his body. He doesn't get thrown out for those pitches? What a joke. Girardi had every right to be pissed.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Red Sox better hope their spit baller Buchholz comes back soon.

What is the story with him, he coming back this year?

Folks made that argument about Pistorius.

Strasburg got thrown out for less Saturday , though it was understandable given what had happened before in the last two series. That said, I'm kinda surprised A-Rod isn't screwed by the umpires every chance they get realistically from now on.

Strasburg already hit Upton squarely in the body in the first inning. Then he threw behind Simmons twice at an at bat.

I don't know in what world that constitutes as "less."

I really think something was wrong with him. I'm not buying it was intentional.


He plunked Upton- the Braves biggest name-value player.

One if he was going to go after someone else, the only argument I could make for Simmons is that he's the most important player the Braves have.

Two- none of those pitched looked that close to Simmons. If Strasburg wanted to hit Simmons- I'm sure he would have. It looked well behind, and he gave up a run due to this.

Intent doesn't really matter here (mostly because we can only divine it so much), we're going by action. He threw behind Simmons twice in the same at bat after already having hit an opposing batter.

I don't know how you can say both pitches weren't "that close." The second was definitely closer than the first.

 

[alstein]

yeah last one was close, but given the last two- I still don't think it was intentional. Not saying he didn't deserve to get tossed (if you're that wild you should be), but if you're throwing at someone, you don't really wanna be sneaky about it.

Someday Jeff Passan will actually have a real source and get to name him and it will make his life complete.
