      Completely agree. How would you even modify stats, baseball's sort of holy grail, for pitchers and batters with this bizarre and ridiculous rule? Is it an earned run if that runner scores? What happens if a player advances to third with one pitcher on the mound and another gives up a sac fly? Stuff like that.
      Unearned. Again, the rule is common in softball, so the impact is known and measurable.

      It doesn't make it a good rule for baseball, but it's not being pulled out of thin air.

          My Dad said he was not slow

          Babe Ruth had 10 career steals of home. More than Rickey Henderson, Lou Brock, & Tim Raines had combined (9).

              He was given to the Braves. The Reds got next to nothing in return.

                We only have footage of him in his later dissipated years. He was apparently a great base runner, though I didn't know he was an accomplished base stealer.

                He was thrown out trying to steal second to end a World Series. IIRC Grover Cleveland Alexander talks about it in "My Greatest Day in Baseball."

                Edit: yep.

                  This may only interest Red Sox fans and those who watch the Sox on NESN, but it was announced today that color analyst Jerry Remy has a relapse of lung cancer.

                  Frak.

                  If they put Steve Lyons in as a full time replacement, double Frak.

                    Re: 2017 MLB Season - The Goat Memorial Thread

                    4 umpires have retired this offseason: Jim Joyce (Mr Ruined Perfect Game), John Hirschbeck, Tim Welke, and Bob Davidson.

                    I'm glad to see Davidson gone. He was atrocious. If we can get rid of Angel Hernandez and Fat Joe West in the next few years, we'll be far better off.

                      I have no issues with Joyce or how he handled the game. He admitted after that he royally f__ked up.

                      Hernandez and West can get hit by a bus

                            Exactly. And yet they've still done nothing about limiting visits to the mound or putting a time limit on replay.

                              Or batters stepping out after every pitch. The single biggest waster of time. There's a reason games against the Red Sox or Yankees take 43 hours to complete.

                                Or relief pitchers warming up in the bullpen for 20 minutes and then throwing 10 more "warmup" pitches when they enter the game.
