It’s not like you gotta send a batboy into Mordor to make it happen, either. All it takes is a little conversation with the umpire (presumably, the crew chief) and that’s that.

You can’t go back in time, playwise

It’s interesting that you mention the NHL suspending to injuries. Saturday night between periods at the B’s/Habs game, NESN had Patrick Burke (Director of Player Safety) on to talk about the process and such behind it.

And for anyone really wanting to get into it, here’s the fantastic wiffleball documentary Yard Work.

That’s “Live Free and Die” to you!

It's like deciding which child I love more - Salt & Vinegar kettle chips are where it's at.

This needs more love, +1

Honestly, I like the pitch clock, so long as it doesn't get in pitchers' heads. So long as it stays "[...]more effective as a tool to remind pitchers how long they're taking than as a strict deterrent," I'm cool with it; and this is coming from a guy who LIKES devoting 3.5 hours a night, 7 nights a week to baseball.

I really feel like I should check in here.

Alex + Ada needs to be on this list somewhere. It feels like you're waiting forEVER between issues (and god knows the Luna Brothers aren't exactly flooding the marketplace), but in just 7 short issues, it's really set a world.

I love the idea and even more, I love the logo.

I'm 99% sure the "neighborhood play," where you're given the benefit of the doubt in touching second base (unless it's particularly egregious), is explicitly exempt from replay consideration.

I said the same thing about the 2.8 that didn't have Maddux on theirs last year.

At this point in this increasingly apparent waste of a season for the B's, Jack having meltdowns is more and more welcome. Some nights, it feels like he gives more of a shit than the D.

How do you shit on the phaser (fairly, it's pretty dorky); but totally ignore the WAY COOLER phase rifle?

I wonder how many of these change positions if they're kept at the proper temperature.

To anyone out there that has one of these (the dark model, to be most specific) - how bright is the LED? I like having my clock not too far from my head when I sleep (no glasses on!), but don't want to be staring into the sun.
