@manicpixiedane I think the last time I was this excited for something Star Trek related was when The Motion Picture came out.

@SlangsOnSports Joey Votto is great, but I think there’s a better chance of the aliens landing than the Reds being 12-2. ⚾️

@rmiosek @HOFprez @baseballhall @MLB @KenBurns My observation was that it didn’t just speed it up; it eliminated a lot of dead time. Pitchers holding the ball for an excessive period, batters stepping out of the box. It reminded me of the game I grew up watching in the ‘70s and ‘80s-more action and less standing around.

@rmiosek @HOFprez @baseballhall @MLB @KenBurns Give it a chance before you judge. I saw about 10 AAA and AA games with the pitch clock last season and I thought it really improved the pace of play.

@JeffPassan I saw about 10 AAA and AA games with the pitch clock last season and it improves the pace of the game. Looking forward to seeing how it works in MLB.

@ML_Prodigy I’m just enthusiastic for Star Trek in general, as opposed to any particular series. When Prodigy rolls around again, I will have no problem getting my excitement level up. And I’m sure I will rewatch episodes during the interim.

@lenetaylor Add in The Six Million Dollar Man and we have the complete set.

Juan Bustabad is a name I haven’t heard in decades, but remember seeing him play for the #Pawsox many times.

How often do you see a Juan Bustabad auto in the wild @RickCanale @RuzzDawXO @GlobeChadFinn @MarkArmour04 @RounderRedSox @JPPlunkett @yazfan71 @ShaneKatz73

@scott_bush I wasn’t a fan when I first heard of it, but the first time I saw it in action converted me.

HBO's adapting another iconic game

@TeltheTrekkie The best reaction to recasting in Trek was when I heard someone ask Walter Koenig if he was upset about Chekov being recast in the 2009 movie. He said no, but he would have been upset if they cast another 70 year old in the role.

@PeteAbe @realElTiante One of the great baseball memories of my childhood is seeing Tiant beat Dock Ellis and the Yankees with a complete game in 1976. It’s baffling that Catfish Hunter (40.9 career WAR) is in Cooperstown and Luis (66.1) isn’t .
