Let’s talk about format of playoffs for a second. I am actually fine with a bye round, but it needs to be followed by a seven game series not a five game series. Definitely not a day off after playing one game after having five days off either.

this off season MLB needs to take a long look at instant replay. It slows the game down. Umpires in NY are too hesitant to overturn calls. Calls are missed, games are affected, pennant races are messed with. Just get rid of it at this point if it’s not going to be better.

True story...see I’m a good scout
@TheCUTCH22
...seriously at the time I had not come up with a plan to help a hitter who’s hands were TOO FAST!
Andrew McCutchen won a high school county batting title as an 8th grader. At age 13, he took batting lessons from Matt Diaz, who was a Double-A player. “After three lessons,” Diaz said, “I told him, ‘I can’t help you anymore, you’re a better hitter than I am.”’

This is as gutless of a move as I’ve seen.
@marlins
fans you have no Excuse. Your whole organization looks classless and scared. Better ways to handle a hot batter. I hope front office and Mattingly denounce this and not excuse it!
I don’t want to hear any old school players saying they should just let he players police the game themselves. Someone could die in a beanball battle. There is no place for this in the game. It’s gutless to throw a ball 95 mph at someone intentionally.

Imagine you are a September call up using one of the juiced balls, and give up 3 runs instead of a fly out to end an inning. Your confidence not to mention your stats changes. I pray it’s not true, but it’s hard to deny some of the research that’s out there.

Think about it, daily, millions are gambled on over and unders in baseball games, 1 mile an hour difference in an exit Velo be the difference in a fly out to the wall and a home run causing a pitcher to give up three earned runs vs zero in an inning.

Man Albert Pujols nailed this quote.
Amen! Our identity is not on our ranking, college commitment, or team we play for in the summer.
Our identity should be we are believers in Jesus who can also play the game of baseball.
A great role model for all players to emulate on and off the field.

Out of high school, Howie Kendrick tried out for nearly a dozen junior colleges and was cut by two. He eventually found a spot on St. John’s Community College in Florida.
Now, he’s hitting clutch go-ahead homers in Game 7 of the World Series.
