The use of the monitor, which was installed near the dugout and allowed the players to decode the signs and then bang out the info in real time,...
Exactly.... but sending through a guy on 2nd (when everyone knows it is possible) is VERY different than sending it all the time. Literally every...
Literally every (good) team was using the video room to decode signs. But the Astros had a second system, to directly relay those signs to the...
Ok. Better comparison. But G1 Verlander stiill got a lot of rope in that 4th, and then 5th. Gave up six hits, 2 walks and a lot of scary outs. I...
Wait... are you seriously trying to suggest that those situations were equivalent? Verlander was lucky he made it out of the 2nd, but was given...
It should be easy (for MLB at least) to determine if injuries spike in WBC years, due for example to ramping up intensity or duration too soon. I...
Call me idiotic, but I don't want a guy with a sub .300 OBP batting 2nd. Even in the 2 hole where he was better, he only had a .315 OBP. That...

I thought it was her huuuge.... tracts of land.
Verlander's a luxury, but Crane and co can now afford it. I want them to go full evil empire and try to buy a repeat. I want a LF, 1B, C and...
2 years, $80M, with a $20M player option for year 3. Honestly, feels like too much. But WS-flush Crane and co. can afford to go over luxury tax...
Manfred called Crane the owner when he handed Crane the trophy. He may not be the sole owner, but I think he has the biggest stake.
Gattis DHed in the 15 and 17 postseason because we had a 3rd catcher on the roster in 15 and 17. In 22, Vazquez DHed in WS G6 because... we had...
