meh, i quit watching the MLB brand of baseball a few years ago.

Too many at bats end in a walk, strike out or home run. Its boring to watch 25+ Ks and 15+ Walks in a game. I think MLB should have ball parks like old Yankee Stadium and Old Tigers Stadium in order to cut back on every single player in the line up including the shortstop and second baseman swinging for the fences on every pitch...

I'd like to see more pitchers succeed the way Marco Estrada did. Change up pitchers give up a lot of 380 foot fly balls.

Can't argue any of that, although I admit its fun to watch 5 foot 6 jose altuve cranking them out of the park on the regular

I'm enjoying the fact that fans heckling the Astros for stealing signs had their...signs stolen.

if Alex Anthopolous can be a GM... any non-player, including a female non-player, can be as well.

The closer the management personnel gets to on field coaching the more difficult it is for a non-player to be qualified for the job. Especially, batting coaches and pitching coaches.

Tommy Lasorda died

Here is my favourite Lasorda moment.... Kirk Gibson could barely walk ... and running? forgetaboutit.

For Lasorda to put a crippled up, slumping Gibson in to pinch hit... talk about balls.

Gibson was the Dodger's Hottest and best hitter before he got hurt. The Dodger's hitting that year was average at best. So losing Gibson was a big blow to their chances of winning. He was so badly hurt, he was cringing in pain with every swing. It was amazing seeing him hit that home run. That's a real man there, pushing through the PAIN! AND WINNING!

talk about fun! this is awesome. 2 hours , 43 minutes, 37 seconds

walk off home run

we live in such a "safety conscious" fearful society today that moments like this do not happen any longer.

as great as that was ... a "field rush" was not permitted. what made that walk off home run so fun was the "field rush".
I think the last time "field rush"-es were permitted was 1985. The Blue Jays didn't have a "field rush" in '89, '91, '92, or '93.

I believe the last "field rush" was the 1985 Toronto Blue Jays winning the American League pennant over the New York Yankees in a 6 month 162 game steele cage Texas Death Match.

1986 had no field rush.

its a cryin' shame there was no field rush that year because the 1986 world series was one of the greatest ever... in the history of anything...
