@BenVerlander I think this is pretty good. How would you feel about going to two divisions? Combine your east and north, west and south. For the NL, I absolutely love all those original teams together. Hypothetically, if the Rays canโt stay in Tampa, how would that throw this off?
@ToddZolecki Long q, sorry. The Utley HoF discourse cites the Pโs reluctance to move Polanco to 3B as the reason Utley got a late start on playing time. Iโd love to know more abt that. Was it about Utleyโs readiness? Discomfort with PP at 3rd? Didnโt want to admit David Bell was a sunk cost?
Bottom of the ninth. Tie game. Bases loaded. Full count. The dream scenario. And ... Cal Conley didn't get set in the batter's box with 8 seconds left on the pitch clock.
