July 21, 20187 yr I can see you are a deep thinker.... These are eternal issues that shake the very foundation of our existence.., especially #'s 4 and 5 But I may be intoxicated Edited July 21, 20187 yr by Poolflood Booze
July 21, 20187 yr maybe your little league experience got you accustomed to having an "easy out" in the lineup?
July 21, 20187 yr Well you started off wrong on #1 so I quit reading.Watching pitchers whiff 8+ times a game is awesome, right? Paint drying is more spectacular. But tradition!

July 21, 20187 yr Yeah, the DH was the right move. Baseball being the most rigidly protective of tradition naturally has been on the fence about it since day one, but to survive into the 21st c. it really should be played in both divisions. Scoring runs is what gets people to the parks. Pitchers whiffing at pitches is funny for about 2 pitches.

While you’re at it move the fences in to about 250 feet. That should give morons who don’t understand strategy plenty of runs.

That should give morons who don’t understand strategy plenty of runs. Well, pitchers tend to be the players that aren't on the field but once every 4-6 days, so the position makes the most sense. that and their mechanics make pitching and hitting a bit mutually exclusive at that level. You're not trying to change the game. I agree many folks don't get the strategy of a game. I love situational baseball, but the fans are changing, and a game has to address those changes without destroying itself.
July 21, 20187 yr 102 degrees. "Ha! That's Texas for you." 108 degrees. "Ahhhh! We're all going to die!!!!!" 6 degree difference.

Because you/Huck/NMAS are applying your "logic," not "the" logic of the DH. No one in favor of the DH wants to see the 9 best hitters come to the plate, like Huck claims they should. The people in favor of the DH recognize that there is one position in baseball that is so specialized that its members not only play only once every 5 days, but they're also so incredibly terrible at hitting compared to the other 8 positions, that allowing someone else to hit for them improves the game. I have literally never heard any other DH advocate argue that there should be DHs for other positions. But for some reason, Huck argues that's what should happen, and he repeatedly builds this gigantic strawman any time the DH is brought up.

July 22, 20187 yr I get how humidity, wind, etc can directly affect the effect of temp; I'm in Dallas. I doubt very many people here would know the difference between 102 and 108 in a "blind" test.

Those of us who live in places that have all the weather can relate to all sides of this. It was 100 degrees on Memorial Day, but low humidity. Not too bad at all. On 4th of July, it was 92 with high humidity and MUCH more uncomfortable than Memorial Day. By the same token, a calm 10 degree day is much less miserable than a raging wind 25 degree day.
July 23, 20187 yr comedians and actors seriously, i have been in and seen some pretty heated arguments if someone is funny or not. from steven wright to kimmel. same thing about actors (for example, i think timmy olyphant is a horrible actor...watch everyone get triggered now)
