I'm sure all of you know that's why the Astrodome was built in the first place... I'd replace Domed Stadiums with steroids... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I might quit following MLB altogether. I watch the Refs game but have a hard time watching a full game if they aren't playing. For me analytics has changed the game do much it has effected the game we see on the field. I hate the 3 outcomes of K's, walks and home run. I hate that they have do many pitching changes and worry about pitch counts do much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
