That's the other part -- the really good dudes you still want innings from, even if you're concerned about injuries, times through the order, etc

watching a game without a strike zone box is weird now
Meg Rowley
7:56
It's so nice.

I also think the 15 day IL thing next year for pitchers will change things somewhat as well.  Make it tougher to have the train from AAA to MLB.
Meg Rowley
7:57
Yup yup
Josh Herzenberg
7:57
Does that rule also apply to MiLB ILs?
7:58
I don't know but, if not, it could be incentive for clubs to manipulate option-able players

Obviously these two might fall back into old habits, but right now the broadcast is actually really enjoyable. When he's providing analysis Smoltz is pretty engaging, and they both seem to really know their stuff for today. And unless I missed something, no complaining about the game (yet).

And it’s interesting that during the draft a lot of complaints are that the announcers are too hyperbolic (ie comparing 2nd rd picks to HOFers) but then they don’t seem to like the current game. It’s kind of an odd dynamic
Hey yo

nice dig by Cron
Meg Rowley

He's been fine so far, and obviously, someone who only talks about how AMAZING EVERY SINGLE THING IS can get tiresome, too. It's a really hard job!

hadn't heard....  one other thing with next year.  We have 26 from start of season thru August.  28 in September.  For October- is it going to be back to 26, or will it revert back to 25?  I asked Dan and all of them earlier and they didn't know.....
Meg Rowley
8:00
My understanding is it applies to postseason games as well
8:01
Wouldn't make sense to make you carry fewer dudes in October.

Funny. I like the strike zone box, but I didn't note its absence.
Meg Rowley
8:02
My annoyance with it is mostly due to the reaction on twitter, as it isn't always right. But I've been talking with you fine people instead of looking at twitter.
8:04
Seems like it would be rad to be 20,000 feet tall?
8:05
Ok, now how many HR

Reporting live from Yankee Stadium: fans nonplussed that excitement after catch immediately countered by Cruz. You heard it here first.
Meg Rowley
8:07
Be in the moment, Adam2. We'll be here to chat another day.

How bad of an idea would it be to expand rosters increasingly throughout the playoffs (e.g., 26 in WC to 40 in WS)?
Meg Rowley
8:08
Think bigger -- expand rosters and let teams draft from teams eliminated from contention.

Just wanted to say how great the 'How they were acquired' has been!
Meg Rowley
8:08
Yeah, Jason has done a great job. His attention to detail is inspiring.
Nico Robin

Nelson Cruz still having it makes me feel good
Meg Rowley
Josh Herzenberg

I'm not sure I've ever had as much confidence in anything I've done as he did on his bat flip right there
Cruz, that is
Like, that ball was about 320 feet. And he knew it
Meg Rowley
8:09
I'd be so afraid.
8:10
I think that's why I'd favor the bat drop a la Canó.
Easier to recover from if you're wrong.
Josh Herzenberg
8:10
Can't disagree
Dystopian Future

Well, it's probably a single for Nelson Cruz either way, and I doubt he gets lambasted by the media for a bat-flip there. And bat-flips are fun! Players should bat-flip more.

(sorry)
Meg Rowley

Oh bat flips are great. This is a comment on my own anxiety and cowardice.
Nico Robin
8:11
I think Nelson Cruz has earned batflip privileges by now
Josh Herzenberg

Bat flips are great! Players having fun is great! Everyone should have fun
