Chin up fellas

There is a professional team that is 9-26 and lost a game yesterday while throwing a no hitter. Bottom of the 8th, no outs bases loaded fielders choice that allowed the one run to score. Cincinnati Reds.

If games lasted only 7 innings we would be hosting again this year

I might feel better if this were happening to the defending World Champions.

(Actually, I wouldn't, since I like the Braves, but still.)

I only have 25 years at max left on this earth, I can live off this natty for all of that.

Same.

I'm thinking that maybe some of the National Championship shirts and hats may go on sale. Great time to stock up.

17 that

With attitudes like that, maybe I should reconsider how I help cultivate my kids’ fandom of State athletics

17-that, too. I am going to be there for all three games this weekend, wearing my natty shirts til they smell rancid, pulling for these kids, although I reserve the right to hiss rudely at Fristoe.

If a frog had wings ...

We've known how many innings are in a game for years. All teams play by the same rules. (Not an attack against onewoof)

And they don’t even get credit for the no-hitter, since an official no-hitter has to be complete 9 innings and the Pirates didn’t bat in the bottom of the 9th.

No offense taken and that was the tone of that point. The change in our pitching and bullpen from last year to this year is quite drastic. Other teams we are playing this year still have several of their older experienced guys. We don't.

Coaches have to put the best 9 guys out there and also develop players. The transfers will continue to be a big part of the game. I'm guessing in the future about 1/3 of the teams each year eventually will be new guys coming in and older guys and tough luck guys transferring out.

No way man. Someone needs to read "Lifespan" by David Sinclair. I'm going 120+.

tough luck guys transferring out

That's what bothers me about the portal, really have to do your due dilligence on players looking to go elsewhere. Are they good and just didn't have a chance where they were or do they suck and are looking to suck somewhere else?
