We look like ass @fightinfunbags

ND looks like shit. The major culprit is the offensive line.

Marshall isn't an easy out either.

Also, if the rule is put into place we should see guys averages go up which is fair considering the record books. Guys didn’t have to deal with this back in the day, at least not to this extreme level. If a guy hits .330 now it’s like hitting .360 or .370 with all the analytics. Not just fielding but pitching too. They also have to face so many different pitchers with how teams use their BP these days

I tend to agree.

Relief pitchers today are nothing like they were. Its really crazy.

Everyone complains at the the "three true outcomes"- but the shift has reinforced that is the way to go for most teams because of what you said- averages are killed with the shift.

Now- if people were to guess- would home runs go; (i) up, (ii) down, (iii) or stay the same- if MLB instituted a no shift rule?

I think they would probably go down a little. I think strikeouts would prob. go down. I think batting averages would go up. I think there would be more action in the game that everyone has complained about losing.

Its not a permanent thing if its instituted- lets see how it goes and go from there.

They won't. It's Bama. But should the game be this close?

 

[bksballer89]

How do you not finish that sack?

 

[Wamu]

What a helluva play by Young.

 

[DJ Fieri]

This Bama-Tejas game is a pretty good college game actually.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Sark called a timeout before they kicked it.

LOL.

 

[bksballer89]

That chip shot missed fg before halftime end up being the difference

 

[DJ Fieri]

No moral victories but damn Tejas deserved to win that game.

If Ewers didn't get hurt.....they probably would have.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ive tried looking at that angje and I just can’t see it.

Good play. I think they roll.

 

[thunderc]

So much for that gimme bet

Sometimes the best bets are the ones you never make

and you saved yourself some gas

Switched over to the ND vs Marshall game now.

Let's go, Herd!!!

I would have preferred the Sixers to do the Harrell deal with Whiteside. He’s a better fit as a 10-12 minute back up for Embiid. You can play him in the regular season when Embiid is out. And Whiteside could actually be in the playoff rotation unlike Harrell.

I was hoping we picked Whiteside up too.

But, looks like we are rolling with Brown.

Whiteside not bad as a backup option. Brooklyn can use him as well

Would have preferred Whiteside to Bryant because he isn't injury prone.
