Angels have had Trout and Ohtani and haven't been good - alstl MU - 3/23 10:19:34

They won't be good this year either. Looking at a .500 - Mizzou Tom KC - 3/23 10:57:19

Speeding the game up will help, the ball being in play - playhard KC - 3/23 09:39:19

That's because with years of smartphone use - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/23 08:44:28

I think the new rules will help that issue, but the no - Carlos Rossi KC - 3/23 09:00:30

Fiji doesn't watch or follow baseball, like basketball (nm) - Columbian Gold MU - 3/23 08:57:41

Everyone wants offense for everything - meatiger MU - 3/23 08:55:02

give us a defensive option that moves the ball and runners - TheShoe STL - 3/23 08:59:10

apply that to a reg season game in July - TheShoe STL - 3/23 08:54:30

Hope the real fans enjoy the product (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 3/23 08:54:24

You guys have a ****ing fountain you can swim in - TheShoe STL - 3/23 09:01:07

theres not enough drinking - colonel angus beef KC - 3/23 09:08:31

To be fair everyone was drunk in the old times. Players, - Carlos Rossi KC - 3/23 09:17:03

so drunk they dropped a nuclear bomb on someone - colonel angus beef KC - 3/23 09:18:36

That's it - TheShoe STL - 3/23 09:05:49

RE: You guys have a ****ing fountain you can swim in - Carlos Rossi KC - 3/23 09:02:46

Until they have more than 4 or 5 teams plus - tman MU - 3/23 08:40:42

6 of 10 are from baseball and one just got off the list. - kmawv8 MU - 3/23 09:31:35

A couple of things.... - kmawv8 MU - 3/23 09:23:50

you keep changing the goal posts - meatiger MU - 3/23 09:32:48

^^thinks there are goal posts in baseball - colonel angus beef KC - 3/23 09:36:26

No goalpost has been moved. - kmawv8 MU - 3/23 09:35:10

RE: No goalpost has been moved. - meatiger MU - 3/23 09:39:15

Then why are you arguing nuanced nonsense - kmawv8 MU - 3/23 09:41:51

This is what really needs to change - mizzouSECedes STL - 3/23 09:27:21

one of them goes right the other goes up - colonel angus beef KC - 3/23 09:21:20

LMAO(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/23 09:21:52

Yes, but baseball's setup almost ensures it(nm) - tman MU - 3/23 08:53:23

Not necessarily - TheShoe STL - 3/23 08:56:09

Reds lost 100 games last year... - Gyro STL - 3/23 10:04:04

Lightning in a bottle. Put a hard cap in and - tman MU - 3/23 08:58:48

I'd love that - TheShoe STL - 3/23 09:00:06

This would make the game about the team and - tman MU - 3/23 09:02:31

Every team should have at least 3 players in their lineup - TheShoe STL - 3/23 09:04:56

That would be up to the teams and how they - tman MU - 3/23 09:07:42

I've always thought baseball needed that kind of cap (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 3/23 09:01:53

gonna be so many commercials running on screen - TheShoe STL - 3/23 08:42:35

why will there be more commercials? - meatiger MU - 3/23 08:45:52

"running on screen" - kmawv8 MU - 3/23 09:05:16

RE: "running on screen" - meatiger MU - 3/23 09:11:07

Of course it hasn't happened. But the company that is - kmawv8 MU - 3/23 09:14:03

they actually did file for bankruptcy - meatiger MU - 3/23 09:16:27

point remains the same (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 3/23 09:24:56

what if you look away when that happens - colonel angus beef KC - 3/23 09:09:17

Then you're likely going to miss some important action - kmawv8 MU - 3/23 09:10:29

that is not allowed anymore(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/23 09:12:40

Thankfully the pitch clock is helping with that nonsense (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 3/23 09:12:27
