  1. I have to revise my stance that the DH is the stupidest rule in baseball, because it's been supplanted by something even worse: the automatic intentional walk. I'm not sure how, in the incessant quest to Improve the Pace of Play, saving 30 seconds of IBB sounded like a good idea, but giving the pitching team the authority to order the batter to go to 1st base makes no sense at all. Why does the batter have to do what the opposing team's manager tells him to? Why doesn't the pitcher have to pitch? It's preposterous!
  2. Can it be happening? Can this season be saved?
  3. Just makes this season more bittersweet if PG and Leonard don't return. A lot of heart and effort being spent on a lost season.
  4. Something like this was probably the inevitable conclusion of what LeBatard's been building. The LAF network was basically the podcast version of Grantland - a self-contained group of people making content that was too different and too good to stay attached to ESPN, so they had to create their own company. Skipper seems to have been the only ESPN suit who ever believed in what LeBatard was doing, so good for them for reuniting.
  5. www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/12/16/vox-media-to-cut-hundreds-of-freelance-jobs-ahead-of-californias-ab5.html That's what Californians get for having their state attempt to protect workers' rights. It's much easier for a company to fire everyone in one fell swoop than to treat them like actual employees.
  6. Lodge keeps his job because he's a Grade A shill for the Angels. Never has any criticism about them, just the way Moreno likes it.
  7. I appreciate reading stuff printed on paper because it lets me give my eyes a break from staring at a screen. Our eyes will probably become screens by 2030 so I guess I'm fighting a losing battle.
  8. I hope Randy Carlyle takes over. Coach's Corner needs to maintain the truculence.
  9. Why must I look at this every time I go to Deadspin.
  10. Deadspin has published two big pieces on why Kobe Bryant should be getting more scrutiny for his Denver rape trial in the light of MeToo and everything else. The first was after he got the Oscar, and the other one last week. There has not been any Cosby moment with newfound outrage about this. Either everyone's accepted that he was innocent, or Bryant really does get a pass for this. Or just nobody cares about Deadspin articles.
  11. They lasted over 70 years and have been one of the most recognizable retailers on the planet. I wouldn't call that an association with failure.
