OT: Philadelphia Phillies Spring Training: Bryce-Man Cometh

[Van Buren Boy]

 

[Adam Warlock]

Im starting to want to sign Kimbrel. Our bullpen and line up would be so stacked our starters would have to basically only give up 4 or 5 decent innings. I think Arrieta, Efflin, Piveta, Eikoff, and Vinny can handle that.

 

[montreal]

Drew Anderson has been dealing this spring.

i've liked him in the past but then he got injured, I remember reading how some scouts outside the phillies said he was one of their best arms on their farm system. This was a few years back but heard he also has a new grip with his cutter.

Changing the distance from mound to plate midseason? That's gonna be a no for me, dog.

 

[Hurricane28]

I wouldn't mind some of the implementations there.

A lot of great ideas in there.

I think they meant the Atlantic league is implementing the change mid season simply because they don't have enough time from now to the beginning of the season to move the mounds back.

It's still a no from me dawg. HR are going up. What's the point of this exactly? It's not really "year of the pitcher" anymore. That was a phase, not an era.

The big bases hopefully will eliminate players sliding/ having their foot bounce off the base by 2 angstroms with the tag applied being called out. But I mean...it'll just make some of those players who were "definitely out" now the grey area players.

f*** radar.

I like the 3 batters/end of inning rule. No mound visits is dumb.

Luckily, we'll save an entire 10 minutes of game time shortening the warm up periods by 20 seconds. Hooray!

The shift rule is a good one

The shift rule is the best change. Somewhere Ryan Howard is shaking his head.

Literally killed his career. That and injuries. Shame really

 

[Flybynite]

Other then moving the mound back I actually like most of those changes. Always been in favor of robot umpires, but probably because I'm also ok with robot players.

I still own that game from when I was a kid. f***ing loved it.

Also, if you go over 99 runs it will actually bring your score back to 0.

How will the new rules affect Tainter Jainter?

 

[montreal]

sounds like they are going to approve going to a 26 man roster for next season.

Oh ho ho you know that answer

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Bryce Harper to make Phillies debut Saturday

Phillies have sold 340,000 tickets since Harper signed. WOW.

Watch the season sell out.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

The change I don't want is the mound.

I have no problem with they want to raise or lower it.

But changing the distance is dum.

It's been 60.6 inches since the dawn of time. To go to 62.6 means every game at that feet need its own stats and you can't compare anyone's record to anyone who has pitched at 60.6

That's gonna be football before too long

 

[Cody Webster]

It's Bryce Harper day!!

 

[Jtown]

It's Bryce Harper day!!

His first at bat he is gonna hit a 5 run home run

 

[FlyingPhilly]

Where is my Mike Trout?

 

[David St Hubbins]

This just in, MLB going to fine Bryce Harper for this exchange:

Trout: Hey Bryce, how you like Philly?
Harper: it’s great, you should come over some time.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Well it lasted about five seconds of watching and I already want to punch McCarthy in the throat.

 

[Lotusflower]

hahahahaahahah his walkout song is the theme to Fresh Prince....

I need to hire his publicist. He/she is very good.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Well that ball isn't landing...

 

[WestrnPhlyr]

Weird seeing him in a red helmet with a "P" on it rather than a "W"

I like it

And dam RH just blasted that one!
