I like the pitch clock. Some of these people take too long in between pitches. I don't like banning the shift. Hitters are highly paid professionals who should be able to figure out how to beat a shift. If not, there's somebody in Double A working on it.

I read some shyt a while back that said they ran the numbers and it’s worth more to swing for power and keep the same swing than to adjust and try to change dependent upon the pitch.

The Phillies record by month:

April: 11-11
May: 10-18
June: 19-8
July: 15-10
August: 18-11
September to date: 2-4

If not for that horrific month of May, this team might very well be contending for the division.

I will say this, I did like that rule where if you bring in a reliever he has to face at least 3 batters. It was so tiring to see a manager bring in a lefty reliever to face a lefty batter, 4 pitch walk, then another pitching change to bring in a righty vs righty. This shyt was awful.

You know how many times I watched Bobby Valentine bring in Dennis Cook just for him to throw 4 sliders in the dirt. :snoop:

I kinda feel you with this frustration, but it's a difficult argument to win. The other night I saw 4 batters hit grounders right up the middle behind the 2nd base bag, only for there to be a fielder right there, like wtf? 4 singles turned into groundouts.

:snoop:
Yes this is what gets me , solid hits aren’t hits because of this bullshyt, like yeah That can happen with bad luck like a line drive right at someone but we shouldn’t promote that shyt and that was never part of the game it was never super computers positioning players totally completely out of position on every play , now people want to act like that was always how the games been played just because technically you could’ve done that but nobody did .

Then people act act like it’s so easy to just hit it the other way , it’s not 20 years ago you are facing a different pitcher every time throwing 103 mph, this isn’t your fukking beer league.

I’m not saying it’s not fun at times to see a pitchers duel I don’t want Homerun derby every game but clearly it’s shifted too far in the pitchers direction the past few years and this shyt is boring as fukk

You have regulars in lineups with 158 batting average shyt is crazy

What are the odds the Dodgers sign both Judge and DeGrom? Of course I hope this doesn't happen but I wouldn't be surprised if Judge and DeGrom get signed to the same team and form a baseball super team with ethier the Dodgers or Padres :pachaha:

DeGrom has said his goal is to end up in the HOF and the Mets rarely give them run support in most starts, he probably can't wait to bounce :mjcry:

These infielders are gonna have to start showing range again.
Shoutout to Rey Ordonez.
It's also crazy how hitters just never adapted to these shifts.

That’s another good point that I hadn’t thought of but just heard brought up , it will definitely bring better defense back like aesthetically Would visquel or Ozzie smith have even been in position to make all those plays and show that athleticism or just standing totally out of position where some computer told them too , this shyt is not real baseball this shift era

No because they defended their territory very well. Also, hitters were better equipped to hit to all fields.
