July 27, 20187 yr It would fucking suck to have nets all the way down the line. It would keep clubs from being sued from hits like that, that aren't saved by the grown men who we make fun of for bringing their gloves to the ballpark. One of the first things they teach you in Tball is not to take your eye off the ball. Fielding, hitting, or otherwise. Being a fan in the seats is no different. They already don't let fans walk down the aisles while the ball is in play. Teach your kids ballpark etiquette, which includes watching the ball at all times. It will keep them from being injured.
July 27, 20187 yr Or just put the fucking nets up, because people don’t pay attention or aren’t able to react quickly enough. The nets don’t affect your view at games. There is no reason not to mandate them in every stadium.
July 27, 20187 yr Jesus Christ that’s scary stuff right there. They need to go ahead and put netting all the way into short left field so we don’t have to count on 40+ middle aged men saving people because they brought their gloves. Especially when you think about how glued everyone is to their smartphones. Agreed, but fucking parents need to quit that shit. And at Wrigley of all fucking parks.

I think nets are an overreaction but expecting even seasoned adults to maintain focus for 3+ hours is pretty tough. There's plenty of room for distraction in all that time.
July 27, 20187 yr I always laugh when some Billy badass talks about keeping your eye glued to every pitch in a 3.5 hour game. You’re sitting in the stands not playing short stop for the Yankees Put the nets up already.

July 27, 20187 yr Over the course of a few years Cole Hamels has fallen from being a top of rotation SP to being outclassed by a slumping JA Happ in the SP rental market. lol Edited July 27, 20187 yr by Fozzz

July 28, 20187 yr On 7/21/2018 at 3:55 PM, TheFlagship said: Familia trade to A’s official. He's been instantly effective - critical to our sweep against the Rangers. It also means we don't have to work Trivino and Treinen onto the DL before September. Nice to see a trade have immediate value.

Hah yeah, the Rangers suck, but going as long as those games did, we'd have been giving high-leverage innings to Wendelken and (barf) Hatcher instead. Edited July 28, 20187 yr by texifornia

Im actually watching the brewers game right now for fantasy baseball purposes, and unless I just missed it, their crew has no idea. Edited July 28, 20187 yr by youdunnf'dup
July 28, 20187 yr .1 IP, 4 BB, 3 ER, 2 balks for Carlos Gomez on the bump tonight. All that in 21 pitches
July 28, 20187 yr Nice of them to cut off the announcers before either one mentions the fucking insane stretch & pick.

July 28, 20187 yr greinke was the answer to my "who am i" btw. dude is pitching like he wants some hardware.

I hope I don't put the curse on him, but he has been amazing to watch. Fastball around 90, "changeup" at 87, curve in the 60s, and he's spotting everything better than anyone in the league. Plus, he might be both the best fielding pitcher and the best hitting pitcher in MLB. Edited July 28, 20187 yr by Beau Vine
July 28, 20187 yr Turner for the nats just led off with a bunt over the 1b head (realmuto welcomed to first base). I’m sure it will be tweeted shortly.
