2016 MLB discussion V4: Giancarlo Mendoza Line Watch

[TeTe]

Eliminating intentional walks? MLB really wants to see Bryce hit.

Keep losing White Sox, keep losing.

Hated to see the last thread go.

It's the cycle of life... One legend retires, then denies Joc Pederson of the time of day.

I'm good with intentional walks. Just a part of the game. Not being able to pitch around guys like Bryce with the game on the line is going to crush some relievers

They aren't going to force them to pitch, just get rid of the 4 throws. Just point to first and done.

Keep the four pitches for an intentional walk. Helped the Royals yesterday. Lol

I think they should keep it. Should have to throw the pitches anyway if they want to go around the batter.

Those Mets throwbacks are sweet.

How the fuck you gonna take out intentional walks?

You just make them pitch. I've never liked how the catcher just stands up, and they play catch for four pitches. It's pointless. Make the catcher stay in his stance, and pitch around the plate. Otherwise, yeah, you may as well just let the guy take the base without tossing the ball to the catcher.

Shark is probably gonna set a career high in K's against this punchless lineup for Atcanta.

OP makes no sense, eliminating the pitches would give guys like Harper even less of a chance to hit.

If they are trying to make the games go by faster they need to fix the replay system. EVERY time there is a close play we get the Manager coming up the steps, looking back at the phone for the thumbs up/down. That happens at least 5 times a game. They should have a quicker system to figure out if they do or don't want to challenge.

It's even worse when you're actually at the game, it happens more than 5 times I'd say, all three games I've been too this year the managers go up the steps every fucking close play lol

I wish they would roll with batter can't leave the box, fuckers have to adjust their batting gloves after every pitch. I realize it's habbit for them but they will adjust eventually after the rule is implemented.

JBJ/Bogey showing shades of Rollins/Utley in 06', obviously both of their streaks were well into the 30's but still.

Nomar was the worst, that shit use to legit rustle me.

Folty has been pretty sharp today. Very surprised at the runs scored on Samardzija.
