Rest Of Baseball - 2016

[MDS]

these are some real easy things to police and would actually make the game 1000x better....its basically like a timeout. id be willing to give teams 60 seconds for each one, but you cant have catchers going out to talk to pitchers 5 different times during an at bat, or those dumb stall games teams play to get a relief pitcher ready

be prepared to play or throw the next pitch

[ice grillin you]

there should be no challenges period..there should be booth reviews on scoring plays and late game or late close games

definition of late and/or close will have to be determined

we don't need a review of a pick off attempt in the second inning

[MDS]

rip matt harvey

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah he's been pretty zesty this year

Oh and Dusty has Strasburg batting up 8 runs and at 110 pitches

[MDS]

i think he did that just to do it....games over hes just letting his man bat

dusty knew i needed the QS so once stras got out of the 6th he wasnt coming back in. dude im playing this week had berrios and harvey. rack em up for ol toddly.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Your league gives points for QS?

Clown stat bro

[MDS]

i successfully lobbied to have QS replace Wins and OBP to replace AVG....a truly impressive accomplishment for logic and reason

next year i want an NA spot for minor leaguers

[PhillyPhreak54]

QS is farging stupid

6IP with 3ER or less?

Pfffft

[MDS]

no stat is perfect. 3/6 shouldnt rewarded, but thats about the only beef i have with it.

you can score 4 runs via reaching base 4 times off errors....you can hit a pop up that catches some wind and hits the flower beds at the bank for a homer....you can knock in 3 runs when an outfielder loses the ball in the lights....you can steal a base off a terrible jump if the catcher makes a terrible throw....you can get a win if your team scores 20 runs even though you gave up 6 runs in 5 innings....you can get a save up 3 runs against the bottom of the braves order....do i need to go on

[PhillyPhreak54]

Speaking of lil guys WAR stat

Price Grienke and Heyward have a combined negative one

Three huge FA deals

But yeah Heyward was worth that money right?

[MDS]

its always a smart thing to judge 7 year commitments 2 months in

[PhillyPhreak54]

He's not going to live up to the deal

It's ok to say I'm right

[MDS]

he was never going to...very few players can or do

the cubs print money and all their good players are young and cheap. they stole a player away from their arch rival. they could probably release him tomorrow and never feel it. it was a why not signing, nothing more nothing less.

[PhillyPhreak54]

$187m isn't a why not signing

Whether stealing from a rival or not

[MDS]

it absolutely is....they didnt need him and knew they didnt.

the phillies are going to be in the same boat in 18. they had more money to spend then they knew what to do with, so they threw a bunch of it at a good 25 year old outfielder. thus far, he hasnt performed up to par. theres still 4+ months and 6+ years left. this isnt david price at 30 losing a few mph on his fastball.

but fun topic!
