Ok, got 2. It's like watching the Aggies offense from last year. Trench warfare every inch.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Please a clean 8th, 2 insurance runs, and a clean 9th.

I'm oddly comfortable with Raley... He's not that good but he's been very effective.

Dusty's strategic decision making ability tops out at choosing whether or not to get a new toothpick.

Gets a lot of strike outs and doesn't walk guys like the rest of our pen.

I hope that clean Raley inning doesn't embolden him to trot Sneed out there for the 9th.

What's the deal with all-stars this year? Will they just choose them at the end of the season?

Rockies beat the A's 3-1. We're not gonna catch em but it would be good for them to stumble into the playoffs.

If this is true and they still play 162 games....I honestly don't know what to say. Baseball as we know it would be ruined.

It wouldn't be ruined just makes the regular season mean a **** ton less. It would also mean fewer super stacked teams because you just need to be good enough to make the postseason then anything happens.

Why even have a regular season? Baseball as we know it would be ruined.

  • Trade deadline? Gone. Useless.
  • Pennant races? Who cares. You'll get into the playoffs at below .500 anyway. I don't care which 78-84 team snags the 8 seed
  • You think days off are bad now? Wait until the margin of error is that much bigger--you'll see a worse product on the field.

In baseball, you prove your worth over 162 games. then the playoffs are a crapshoot of small sample sizes. To put over half of each league into the playoffs basically invalidates the regular season on a full-schedule.

There is only one reason the owners are doing this - more playoff games and playoff revenue, and it actually decreases the incentives to sign major free agent deals. The mega deals are already on the way out for all but a handful of players, but this exacerbates that even more. If there's less chance of me missing the playoffs, then I don't need that one extra veteran hitter to put me over the top. The player's union would be nuts to agree to this, but they probably will anyway.

Rob Manfred is a moron.
