    New Uniforms

    Most players are complaining about the new material - the latest being the see-through pants... Question - if MLB rule changes are tested in the minors, why are uniform changes? Seems stupid to just thrust a completely different material onto established MLBers...

    2023 MLB Draft

    I never pay too much attention to draft picks, but I do look interesting baseball names.... Like in 2013 when the Sox drafted Trey Ball and I hoped like hell he would make it to the big leagues, just to hear an announcer say: "Trey Ball." Three of the Sox pick this year are Kyle Teel, Nazzan...

    You make the divisions - expansion game

    Since there is an expansion thread, let's create new divisions... You pick the new locations (feel free to move existing teams)... I'd like 5-5-6, but I suspect they'll try 4-4-4-4.... Be creative, but be smart...

    That First Home Run Ball

    When a rookie hits his first MLB homer, the team usually gets it for him - and gives the lucky fan some cool shit. Red Sox Masataka Yoshida hit his first, but Boston was unable to negotiate an exchange with the fan that caught it... Zoikes.

    Worst Call in Super Bowl History?

    Sanders clearly caught the ball with both feet on the ground, turned to run, then got popped. Ball comes out, Bolton picks it up and runs it in for his second defensive TD of the game... I see people complaining about a stupid holding call, but this reversal takes the cake.

    Jeff Frye and Baseball History

    To all the people who say the game has changed and the old ways don’t work anymore I would like to say this. You’re wrong! They have been playing this game for over 150 years with virtually the same rules until Rob Manfred took over. What has changed unfortunately is that a lot of the people...

    18 Inch Bases

    An odd on-the-fiield change this year is the widening of the bases from 15 inches to 18 inches. (Almost 100 extra square inches). This seems like they weirdest - and most unnecessary change thus season. Sure, it may help a few people get a couple extra stolen bases, and it might help with...
