Doesn't apply if:

  • He throws 100 pitches
  • He gives up four or more earned runs
  • He gets injured (with a required IL stint

We're gonna limit injuries by making starters endure longer innings when it's clear they don't have it that start.  Pitchers definitely aren't going to overthrow when they are trying to avoid getting shelled.

Just saw this. Manfred is a jackass. Injuries aren’t a thing at all. Dumb

We have to clear a spot on the 40-man, but no problems we have this list of shitty players to choose from 

  1. Aledmys Diaz
  2. Oliver Ortega (60-day)
  3. Bennett Sousa (60-day)
  4. Nick Hernandez
  5. Jasnson Junk
  6. Luis Contreras
  7. Parker Mushinski
  8. Jacob Amaya
  9. Cooper Hummel
  10. Trey Cabbage
  11. Grae Kessinger

I would offer that these 11 guys would struggle to find a 40-man spot in any of the other MLB organizations.

More balls in play, fewer anonymous relievers, more entertaining baseball

The theory is that pitchers know they have to make it to 6 and won't rely on velocity as much (which is ostensibly why there are more injuries), meaning the above, theoretically.  I think it's dumb, and I doubt people change the way the pitch.

Welp, I lost my DirecTV piggyback, when my neighbor's mom ended her sub. Went back to the pirate streams for a couple of days, but fuck that shit. Got MLB.TV & Surfshark. Seems like it works great, at least for on demand games. We'll see how it goes tonight. Seems like the most cost-effective route for me. /csb
