Add in discouraged bunting, the over shift, average 5 pitching changes per game. They’re slowly taking all strategy and interest out of baseball and turning it into a HR derby.

Launch angle makes me laugh every time I hear it. Oh, so baseball changed geometry and ballistics did they? Now that’s some impressive juicing.

I’ve never really understood why people think HRs make the game more exciting. Yes, a 1-0 game is boring, but what’s fun or interesting about watching a HR derby dressed up as a game. Baseball is great because of all its intricacies and complications. And that’s in small ball.

Yes, agreed. I really got into baseball when watching the 2010 Reds. They got into the playoffs that year with a team that could come back from almost any deficit. And it wasn’t from hitting 4 HRs for 5 runs in an inning, it was from small ball. Very fun to watch.

Though I’m getting a bit tired of Lucifer making the cases all about him

probably less of an impact, but there is bandwidth used every time something is streamed.

No, not really at all. You’re talking about consumers buying products from producers. This is actually the most reasonable place to have entitlement. People have expectations for what they pay money for, and if they feel their expectations aren’t being met, the then stop paying. No one should ever feel obligated to…

Yes.  You must not have Netflix?  All 4 seasons are together.

Biggest Drama? What? It’s boring because it’s not the sport, it’s a fucking contract negotiation. No sports fan should fucking care. Modern pro sports are so fucked up. We’re all not the GMs and front offices and scouts, etc, etc. We all should just watch the fucking games and enjoy them.

Yes.  I don’t mind most all of the TD celebrations, but that whole defense after a turnover thing really annoys the fuck out of me for some reason.

The AAF if fun. People should watch it. It’s football. It’s pretty much all televised. The announcing teams are no better or worse than the shit NFL we currently have (I would argue that Marvin Lewis and Maurice Jones-Drew and a full step better than Witton and Boooger), they have fewer commercials, they mostly talk…

Too bad his name isn’t Joe. Then we could all say,

Wow really? This was an episode made up completely of Star Trek B Plots...and not even that good of B Plots. If this is what people think they were missing in ST:TNG I guess I’m out. ...And I guess I’m very glad you people weren’t in charge 30 years ago.

You are not alone.  By the second half of this ep I was fast forwarding past almost every scene.  This was a episode made up completely of Star Trek B Plots...and not even that good of B Plots.  To my point, I actually thought the single parent / misunderstood child sub-plot ripped straight from an 80s sit-com was the…

Well, 7 years after this review, and he hasn’t put out any new books, better or worse than CofS.

Fantastic! Just how I feel.  I really hope this sentiment rises to the top and follows Serena around for a good long while.

Agreed. It did what needed to be done plotwise, but pretty lame on its own.

I’m all for anything with Tim Omundson in it, but remember that the end of his episode revealed that he definitely wasn’t Lucifer’s dad, he just gained that stuff from the belt buckle or whatever it was.

Yes, me too, to the point that I was going to write off the whole episode if they didn’t, and then boom, they had the very well done ‘twist’ ending that not only made more sense, but added to the overall show mythology. Very nice.

OMG, I just realized—they didn’t have one of those damn Jon Hamm psychology 101 segments this week. And I don’t think I remember anyone else commenting about them. Probably because no one missed them in the slightest!
