Bunting to break up a no-hitter in the World Series is acceptable
If it's like seventh, eighth inning, I don't know... but in like a World Series playoff game... you kind of have to. It's the World Series. Anytime it's the World Series, if it's a one nothing or two nothing game, you kind of have to.

View episodeThe 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.
MLB pitch velocity will decrease by 0.02 mph this year due to the new shot clock rules
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.

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.
The 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.
Robot 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.
