Are you just being a contrarian for the sake of it or do you really hate everything?

No, actually, that would be me.

Fascinating stuff

Make sure you're saying that as you cheer on Bello and Casas.

The only downside to pitch clock is that starting pitchers get tired quicker and we see even less of an impact from them. I am not sure if this will happen or not but something to monitor. Baseball has already ruined the role of a starting pitcher.

Somewhere Nolan Ryan is laughing is ass off.

I agree.

Nolan Ryan is still pissed that a quality start is defined as 6 IP and allowing 3 earned runs or less.

As long as we are on the subject of pitching and rule changes. I'd be perfectly comfortable limiting the number of pitchers that can be used by a team in a 9 inning game.

I'd be open to making an exception for injuries. No way the Players Union would ever go for it though......

O’Brien and Youkillis is a downgrade over Monaco and Merloni.

And I like O’Brien.

Youkillis is terrible in the booth.

They both absolutely suck. Monaco and Merloni should have been hired full time yesterday.

Merloni > Youk

They could literally just make Monaco the full time guy and have a great announcer locked up for decades.

You can tell Merloni puts a lot of work into it he’s on the call. Well-prepared.

The players have themselves to blame with a clock.

Now enforce the existing rule of batter having to keep one foot in the box

This!

Umpires have always had the authority to direct a pitcher to throw the ball or to tell the batter to get his ass back in the box but they didn't and don't do it. i don't know why.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Like Sherriff. Funky deliver from the left side.

 

[smithformeragent]

Shut up, Youk.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Shut up, Youk.

He doesn’t provide anything

 

[Mione134]

I miss Mike Monaco

 

[smithformeragent]

OB and Youk need to go visit the humor coach from Borat or something.
