I think we need to suggest posting overflow threads every half hour

for the balance of the season. This slow scrolling is just very frustrating…

Of course, it’s a nice problem to have I guess…

The unwritten rule

is that a team’s first hit shouldn’t be a cheap one. Some official scorers follow it, some don’t.

Yeah, but still

I mean, you’re losing Fielder in a couple of years, CC and Sheets are gone after this year, so you have to make the run now.

But I just don’t think firing Yost is the solution.
