Damn, Enmanuel with the moon ball

Could slide his way into a big role on this team if he keeps hitting

Poor thing is so terrified

You don't understand how compelling it is to watch a hitter adjust his equipment, take six practice swings, and spit while the pitcher checks the runner at 3rd 15 times before he sets himself.

 

[CDJ]

Pitch clock is the best thing they’ve ever done. Even better than universal DH

Now the poor owners just have to find a way to make up for selling less in concessions...

The ones who buy beer. After the 7th inning these games might be done earlier than they want

Less drunk idiots in the crowd is a win.

who is getting drunk at 15$ beer?

 

[Mione134]

who is getting drunk at 15$ beer?

The ones who can afford going to the game. Unlike myself.

Is the 7th inning rule a legal issue? OR just an MLB rule?

Cause if it's the latter the league will just extend it to the 8th or 9th.

The standard is 7th inning, but it's not an MLB rule to the best of my knowledge.

It probably won't change.

If games end 30 minutes earlier on average it will.

I don’t know what Fenway Park you’re going to, but beer isn’t 15 bucks. Honestly, if you need to get drunk at the game, you have bigger issues.

Have a beer or two. You’re at a baseball game. Everything should be secondary.

 

[CDJ]

They won’t be willing to take a hit on concessions, they’ll probably start allowing beer to be sold until the final out once it gets established that they are losing a little bit of money

That's why you drink a few beers before the game. Also I think I paid $10 for beer at the Winter Classic. If beer was $15 it is because they are selling the massive 24 oz cans.

It used to be like that when I was a kid. Definitely remember my dad snagging a beer walking around the concourse after the game.

not for me to tell people when and where to drink. It's up to them. Only thing I buy at the Tampa Stadium is there Italian Sausages which are pretty decent

No thanks to Bloom though. Mayer fell into his lap. He inherited the other good ones.

The Red Sox didn't have to take Marcelo Mayer. They could have picked an underslot guy and used the draft pool savings to sign a better player later in the draft. This is actually something that Bloom's done twice in his three years in charge of the draft, but specifically didn't do it with Mayer.

Also, if you go to SoxProspects.com, 19 of their Top 30 Prospects were acquired by Bloom.

Well, sure, there's a handful of things they COULD HAVE done with that pick. I'm just not going to heap praise on bloom for doing what I feel to be the obvious one in that scenario.

The soxprospects rankings don't exactly blow my skirt up.

No broadcast today?

Bruins might finish the year with more wins than the Oakland A's
