zpqmaowl Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Solid relief from Drew Butera tonight. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomDreamer Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 A pitch clock would be great, it could get the fans more involved in the game counting down 5,4,3,2,1...In other news, Chris Taylor has a crack on his left pinky finger, so unless Nick Franklin is recalled again, it appears the M's are stuck with Brad Miller, dead last in OPS+ at SS. I'm sure the M's will be in on Stephen Drew next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 A pitch clock is dumb, you cant have one of those like you do in basketball. They are completely different sports and you would need to determine when the clock starts and at what part in the pitching motion does it stop, and what will the penalty be if they dont pitch it in that time a ball? And what about pick off plays does that start the clock again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninersdd Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 The Marlins bring their wretched road record to the Bay Area tonight(4-15). Normally I would be excited about that, but the Fish are 10-1 in their last 11 games against the Giants in San Francisco.

The_Admiral Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 A pitch clock should be considered.There is a pitch clock. It's not enforced because no one's gonna tell the Yankees and Red Sox what to do. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I feel like Clay Buchholz routinely took/takes 25-30 seconds before throwing pitches. There are times when Hiroki Kuroda is no better. And then you wonder why their head-to-head games take 4+ hours and take at least twice that many hours off my life.

Sometimes I'll tune in to watch the last 3 innings if the game is close.Phantom is just coming up with ideas on how to "expand" the interest of baseball to a broader base of sports-fans. Not that I entirely think a game-clock would do that (it may turn current fans away, who know), I don't think it's such an evil idea to consider.I wouldn't mind seeing this kinda thing tested during spring training or something to see how the fans like it.

It's a social spectator sport because of the time between pitches and the half inning breaks. If you want nonstop action watch soccer or hockey.

FiddySicks Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 My absolute FAVORITE part of baseball is how much downtime there is. You can watch a game and multi task without the fear of missing much. It's the only sport I can watch while doing reading for school and actually make some progress. And the funny part about that is those leisurely moments of nothingness during the summer time turn downright torturous in October. It's exhalirating, really. https://twitter.com/Dbacks/status/467704483699757056Tony La Russa named CBO or Chief Baseball Officer of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

It's an interesting move for a team that's already known for hanging their pitchers out to dry and throwing inside for the most petty of reasons as it is. This could either be brilliant or a total disaster. As much as I like Gibby, I could see LaRussa managing the D Backs. As an Arizona resident, I love that move. As a Giants fan, this horrifies me.

dbadefense1990 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 A pitch clock would be great, it could get the fans more involved in the game counting down 5,4,3,2,1...So what the hell happens if there's a "pitch clock violation?" Is it an automatic walk to 1st base? Is it an automatic run?I'd bet you also would want regulation games to be shortened to 7 innings, include pre-determined TV timeouts during at-bats and have coin tosses to start games. Sorry if MLB is a boring and tedious league for your tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRadniz29 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Watching the Pirates @ Yankees at the Announcer on FS1, talking about the Brewers saying the two of the players Gomez, etc. are responsible for the Brewers having a stranglehold on the division. So a quick look at the Division: Milwaukee 27-16 (.628)St. Louis 23-20 (.535) GB: 4.0I didn't realize he (seriously who is calling this game? I keep forgetting their names) thinks a 4 game lead in May is a stranglehold on the division . Sure, maybe it is in September... Then again my head is so clogged, I could have just imagined this whole thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I absolutely HATE when the Giants play the Marlins at AT&T Park. They're 2-10 vs Miami/Florida in their last 12 home games, and they always seem to lose a key player for a long stretch of time. 2011 it was Posey, and now it looks like it may be Angel Pagan who slammed his shoulder into the turf pretty violently on a missed diving catch and is in obvious pain. I really wish we could just erase 1993 from memory and forget the Marlins entirely (Rockies can stay, they're fine).
