They were quick to IL Eloy, so maybe they’ll handle injuries better than last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That...very clearly hasn't been the approach this year? Eloy could probably DH tomorrow, but they IL'd him anyway to get Burger up and not be shorthanded for even a few days.

Twins are likely better and have more depth both on their team and in the minors. Our one advantage is Cease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said...other than their bottom out year, with that pitching staff and Correa Buxton they certainly are expected to be competitive this year. They have weathered a long string of prospect injuries like Lewis and Kiriloff but the bulk of their young pitching talent has yet to arrive.

I'm guessing that, for example, if it's just a batter vs. pitcher, the batter ends up potentially with the catcher + the full infield to deal with in close proximity. If you have a "third man in" type of rule, you remove the need to "support" anyone. Not sure how you do it without officially sanctioning fighting, but I basically agree with you. It's beyond ridiculous to have the bullpens and benches empty every f'ing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See: my response above. On a comedic level, it would be fun to see league-sanctioned 1 on 1's like in hockey (note: I'm actually a proponent of banning fighting in hockey). Just imagine something like Oneil Cruz vs. Lance Lynn, with someone like Joe West trying to break it up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's beyond ridiculous to have the bullpens and benches empty every f'ing time. I agree. Players already on the field need to hold their ground and not become involved. You aren't actually sanctioning fighting. Most scrums don't happen because of a fight but words exchanged and menacing movements. There are 4 umpires who can intervene. While it might suck for players to not support a team mate, the skirmish will be over much more quickly. Most actual fights happen when a batter charges the mound. Once an automated strike zone happens, Umps can be younger and more physically able to break up fights. It's not ideal now with so many older umpires who would have to intervene in fights.
