Or just hit the ball at all... Since 2005 the strikeout rate in MLB has gone from 16% to 24%...

I wonder as well... At one time, baseball was America's game... Here's a good graph showing how football supplanted baseball... The 1958 NFL Championship game (Colts-Giants OT..."The Greatest Game Ever Played") is given a lot of credit in making football "must see TV." But, I also think the "tinkering" people, especially the metric crowd, who changed baseball's rules and the way it's played, have to shoulder some blame... If some have their way even more rules to "modernize" the game are on the horizon. I appreciate what Theo Epstein did for the Cubs, but I wonder if the changes he proposed in that article will make a difference...

Jackie Robinson Day today...wore my 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers hat in honor... One of the 2 most important players in baseball history (Babe Ruth)...

You'd have had a conniption if you'd have watched the Blue Jays-Yankees game... 4 outfielders and the 3 other guys to the right of 2nd base for Joey Gallo. I can't wait til they end this crap next year...gimmick ball...

If he could play defense like Dad, he'd be a hot commodity...

You're just mad because the unwritten rules of baseball were written before you were born... Wait a minute...😵

BTN did a "The Journey" segment on Davidson and his relationship with Caleb Furst. Very sad but also touching and inspirational. Some things are bigger than sports...

Ivey 1st? No Moussa Diabate? Ummmm, I don't know about that list...

Ok, you convinced me... But, 2 questions... Does he know anybody in Chicago, and does he own a watch?

I'd rather we win 85-55 like we did in 75 & 76 😁

Ah, come on...there were some faint calls for Painter's scalp, but they were very few and far between... Painter would have never made it past 2015 at IU... Purdue should keep him though...you never know. Maybe have the perfect storm and get to a final 4... I don't think you're going to draw a top shelf coach to West Lafayette. And hiring the hot "up and comer" is a crap shoot, as we found out...

He just faired poorly the last 12 games...27% from 3...first 23 games 43%...

Hey, Lee "I hope we get f*****' hotter than s*** just to stuff it up them three thousand f*****' people that show up every f****"' day" Elia is still alive...maybe he could manage the Reds 😉

Maybe I'm the only one, but sometimes I find things incredibly funny...from the portal...first school is where he was, second where he's going...

I was going to say the same thing...like a Murderer's Row of cheats and ne'er-do-wells...

The White Album just blows me away every time I listen to it...even at the apex of their dysfunction, they produced one of the definitive albums in rock history... And I could listen to "The Medley" from "Abbey Road" for hours...

Didyahavta?

The first 3 must be referrals from the unemployment office 😁

Katz doesn't even have us in the top 36 But he does have 7 Big 10 teams in there... Some of them are laughable...

Yes, thanks 😉

I guess auto correct doesn't like "dingers"

The Susuki kid is tearing it up for the Cubs. 2 fingers today accounted for both runs in a 2-1 win over the Buccos.

Yeah, his voice got on my nerves... Probably because I had an aunt that sounded just like him...

Princeton transfer Jaelin Llewellyn off the board...Clemson...

Bingo...
