Re: MLB 2024
can't wait and we are past ready for the ball/strike challenges. this is so fucked up. i was watching a minor league game yesterday for the first time and the system seems great - I'd not yet seen how it works: pitcher didn't like the call, taps his head immediately, they go to the tennis-like-recre...

Re: 2024 NCAA Ice Hockey Championship (Frozen Four and what not)
damn. :( David Carle totally outcoached Greg Brown. That game was fascinating - I was worried about what would happen if Denver got the first goal - which they obviously did - and fk me they played a perfect game. That 2nd period especially was an absolute clinic on how to successfully shut down an ...

Re: MLB 2024
oh weird ok so the *team* gets a draft pick if he's 1/2 for ROY - ok. i've read a little that they were trying to avoid the first 2 weeks of heavily facing lefties and working on D which i'd immediately roll my eyes at if they didn't call him up a day before he would have lost a year of service (aga...
Re: MLB 2024
If Holliday wins the American League Rookie of the Year, the Orioles won’t gain the draft compensation for having him on the roster all season, but Holliday will still be eligible to earn an extra year of service time if he finishes first or second in the Rookie of the Year voting, meaning that kee...
Re: MLB 2024
someone else can fill in details better than i can but i'm pretty sure the newest CBA did address these - in fact by him getting called up today he *does* get a full year of service time. I think it's something about if he finishes top X in ROY the team gets a bonus draft pick? I really hope the nex...
