    Gleybar Torres simply owns Baltimore pitchers. 26 HR on the season for Torres, half of them against Baltimore pitching.

      The steadily increasing levels of salt from Gary Thorne after each HR are a treat.

            Aaron Boone in favor of a mercy rule.

            In makes sense in Little League, it makes sense in high school, and with travel/classes it makes sense in college (if they choose to use it, apparently it's optional in NCAA baseball). Once you get paid, especially at the top level in the world, there shouldn't be a mercy rule.

              He only said that because the Yankees were blown out 19-5 by the Indians. Besides, you would think a mercy rule could potentially affect performance incentives...

                  It would. AND affect future games, due to pitching matchups/relievers and such.

                    Yeah, you're getting paid millions of dollars to play baseball. If you suck so bad on a given night that you get blown out by 20 runs, you deserve the embarrassment...suck it ip, buttercup.

                      I find that offensive and chauvinist. We should feel safe on a public message board, and not feel threatened with your male-dominated labels.

                        I'm good with 10 or more after 7. At that point, things are 99.9% certain. And with the lineup manipulation that goes on today, you might as well end it. This is something that "modern" baseball needs. We've passed the point of no return for the baseball of nostalgia. Time to evolve in this particular case...

                          Your team should suffer if the pitchers cant get outs (or defense sucks). Ruined your bullpen for a week? Play better.

                            Watching some of the LLWS games, there's a stark difference between some of the international teams and the US teams.

                            Japan, Curacao, and Korea come off much more as playing baseball on a small field, whereas the US teams come off as playing small field baseball.

                            I'm not sure if that makes sense, or maybe I'm seeing something that isn't there, but there's something more natural watching those international teams play.

                              I haven't seen any of the games, but I understand what you're saying.
