2015 MLB Thread

How’s it happening? Incremental cuts into dead time, as mandated by the three pace-of-game rules implemented before the season. While seemingly minor, they’re adding up:

  • The time between a third out of one half-inning and the first pitch of the next has gone down, from 3:30 to 3:18. That’s the first decrease in a decade, and comes not from cutting commercials, but from batters and pitchers being urge to be ready as soon as ad breaks are over.
  • The time between pitches is down one second from last season, which is the function of new emphasis on hitters remaining in the batter’s box for the duration of an at-bat.
As a result of the progress, MLB says it does not intend to follow through on its threat of fines for repeat offenders. So it’s good news all around: we love baseball, we just wish there weren’t so much of it.

The thing about the Cubs this year is that most of their losses have been like that. The other team really had to work for it. I think 5 of their last 6 losses have been by one run.

I know exactly what you mean. Nats wins/losses have been that way as well

Well your pitching was nasty in that game. Wow.

During Monday night's Astros-Orioles game at Minute Maid park, a fan reached for a foul ball, and in doing so revealed a concealed firearm tucked into his waistband.

Played in Texas?? I thought that NOT having a concealed firearm would get them in trouble.

Your daily reminder that sports can be scary. Sobering.

Report: FBI Investigates St. Louis Cardinals For Hacking The Astros

 

The FBI reportedly found evidence that St. Louis Cardinals officials broke into the Houston Astros’ internal database of player personnel information, according to the New York Times. Parts of that database, including updates on trade negotiations, were then published on Deadspin. The bureau has subpoenaed the team and MLB, and while no specific individuals have been named, this has the potential to be one of the biggest and weirdest scandals in baseball history.
