    This DJ Hern guy? Is huge. 270?

    If you're talking about that CSU / Texas game, I absolutely agree. That was putrid.

    God what garbage. I kept watching for how bad it was.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    Moving the rubber back would certainly increase pitcher injuries. That idea is bananas.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    Not at all. I would be interested to see if pitchers had some advantages back; maybe hitters would have to adjust. Try for base hits more often than swinging for the fences.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    She's definitely an icon where I travel. Perhaps Linda Rondstadt is a better example. She had a bunch of crossover hits on the rock charts, and was pretty damn famous in the late 70's/early 80's. Again: not TSwift famous.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    The most interesting idea in this thread, imo, is to alter the mound height and strike zone back closer to 1968 dimensions. I wonder if that would also affect the launch angle stuff (another development that hasn't been good for the game.)

    I guess technically not a pop icon, but one of the most popular singers in history.

    The Frailty of the Modern Pitcher

    My theory 10 years ago was that slow games were causing the decrease in IP and increase in pitcher injuries. As in: a starter had to be active for 3 hours to get to the 7th, when in the past the game would be over. I'm not as confident about that theory now in the pitch clock era.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    Dolly, Emmylou, Stevie all come to mind. They were never close to Swift's current level, but who ever was? And they were up there in their prime. One could argue that Dolly is in a Renaissance prime. Probably one of the 10 most famous/recognizable people on earth right now.

    That you probably don't go out much? Shake It Off has been everywhere for 10 years now. (Great song)

    I just thought of She Loves You, cause they're pretty similar and someone should do a mash-up.

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    If I remember correctly, Clement's first couple months with the Sox were excellent.

    Should the Sox sign a right handed bat? If so, who?

    Tommy Pham as an option almost made me puke. I am no expert these days but I think this could work itself out internally. Focus on pitching.

    Best time to visit?

    Honest question; because I've never been to Cape Cod. Is it that much more impressive than places north of Boston? Places that are much easier to get to?

    Best time to visit?

    Ok. This suggestion is going to sound dumb, but it is one of the most fun/dumb things ever. Next to the aquarium is a boat ride called Codzilla. It's a large speed boat that splashes around Boston Harbor. You only want to do it on a warm day cause you're going to get wet. I went, somewhat...

    Can we not talk about the reason for empty seats?

    I root for guys like Mookie Betts. I don't care if it's been said a million times.

    McAdam: “Full Throttle” may mean business as usual

    I think it's possible that the random success of the 2021 team tricked the owners into thinking it was repeatable, or more easily so. 4 World Series championships and all, but I fucking hate these guys.
