Christian YelichThe shift ban will significantly benefit every left-handed hitter in MLB
Any left-handed hitter, it's gonna be good because even if you weren't a guy that was full shift, you're still losing hits because of it. Analytically teams don't care, it's just more so like just don't hit a homer or a double. You'd get blown up and a ball that would stop in the infield grass basically ended up being a hit, and then you lose the one where you hit a line drive to right field and it hits the third baseman right in the chest.

Big CatThe college basketball chaos on Saturday was triggered by Fran McCaffrey's stare down with the referee
I think Saturday we got the chaos all because of Fran McCaffrey's stare down. It was from that point on the day, just went off the fucking rails. There's nothing like a good old fashioned coach just staring at a referee so close and neither one of them was gonna walk away.

This guy Corky knows his shit. He is projecting right now an average decrease in pitch velocity this year of 0.02 miles per hour. Whoa. Because the new shot clock rules. So yeah, keep that in the back pocket. We're gonna see slower fastballs this year.
PFT CommenterKeith Hernandez has toxoplasmosis from his cat, which is why he's messing up player names
Keith Hernandez has toxoplasmosis from living with his cat. Oh. That's why he's messing up names. But I mean, is it really a mess up? Because Chaz Chisholm [Jazz Chisholm] is just a Hall of fame name.

View profileChristian YelichRobot umpires should only be used for challenges, not for every pitch
I think that would be like the furthest extent that you'd want see it. I don't want it like full, I, I just, yeah. Don't think it would be good... I think in big spots if like there's an egregious miss or something like that, like I think even the umpires would probably want it to be corrected.
Christian YelichRobot umpires will have unintended consequences like calling strikes on balls in the dirt
I don't want robot umps. No. Because I think there's gonna be a lot of unintended consequences with that. Because if you just have a square that buzzes ball or strike... there are a lot of breaking balls that'll be like in the dirt that'll clip the bottom of the strike zone technically. I don't want robots.
Christian YelichManager and umpire arguments are good for the entertainment value of baseball
I need to see managers getting right up into an umpire's face. That's so good for the game because people, it's entertaining. At the end of the day it's an entertainment business. So make things that are entertainment. It reaches a large audience.
