    Possible MLB Rule Change

    I hate the way sports in general are being rejiggered to become as perfect as the video games that simulate the real thing.

    Possible MLB Rule Change

    I remember in the 1972 World Series an Oakland A's pitcher struck out a Cincinnati Reds batter on an apparent intentional walk. I also remember uncounted wild pitches on intentional walks. It's taking something away from the game to save a couple of seconds.

    Good point. So limit the number of pitchers you can carry on your 25-man roster from game to game, say 10. You can have more pitchers above this limit but some would have to sit out like hockey's "healthy scratches."

    Possible MLB Rule Change

    If you really want to shorten the length of games, limit the number of pitchers you can use. Five pitching changes in one inning? Really?

    According to Baseball Almanac, Franco hit two with the Mets at age 48, in 2006 and 2007. In 2006 Franco homered at age 47, on April 20, and then at age 48, on September 30.

    And Matt Harvey unloaded a double to the base of the wall against SD yesterday. Don't take the bat out of pitchers' hands when they reach college, and you won't need the DH!

    2016 MLB season

    Iceberg points out that college seems to be the Iron Curtain barrier to good-hitting pitchers, since so many players are being drafted out of college now. It seems that pitchers get onto college teams being good hitters, but they stop batting when they get to college, unless their coaches play...

    2016 MLB season

    In high school, Babe Ruth and American Legion ball, the pitcher plays shortstop or center field when he's not pitching, and is one of the best hitters. Bang! Gets into a league that uses the DH and his bat skills stultify. Just let pitchers continue to bat throughout their development, and the...

    Amazing that they let him stay in to finish.

    What a great idea for parity: Owner holds a gun to commissioner's head and says, "We can't compete in this division -- move us to XXXX or we sue."

    2016 MLB season

    There are 15 teams in each league, 5 in each division. But Houston needs to move back to NL Central, Milwaukee to ALCentral, and move KC to AL West.

    Get rid of the DH, get rid of interleague play. And while we're at it, bring back white sanitary socks and stirrups. Players look like they're wearing pajamas.

    That sucks. I always enjoy visiting Target Field. Hope they can turn it around soon.

    NCAA extends tourney deal with CBS & Turner until 2032

    With the money in the bank, the NCAA won't care about ratings. The TV nets will.

    Wow! So much money for student-athletes. (Intentional sarcasm)

    I remember when Opening Day wasn't until the second full week of April. No doubleheaders anymore, so MLB has to start the season amid winter weather advisories . . .

    MLB Network, etc.

    Not the games I'm interested in: Golden State/San Antonio, NBA TV. Houston/OKC: NBA TV. :(

    MLB Network, etc.

    My generous cable company, Mediacom, doesn't carry MLB Network ... or NHL Network or NBA TV. So if a game is on one of those channels, it isn't available on their streaming services. Is there any way to get those channels on another device?

    Never love an NFL franchise because it won't love you back.

    Explosive Documentary Links Peyton Manning, Major Athletes To Doping Ring

    Peyton Manning vociferously denies the report. Lance Armstrong did too. Regardless of whether the allegations against Manning bear out, my personal trainer and physio have no doubt that NFL players are using HGH en masse. They say the usual training methods by themselves can't account for the...

    2014-15 NHL Season

    I'm a longtime Ranger fan, but I would like to see a Cup final with both teams from a) the Original Six; b) teams from a natural hockey area.
