Why doesn't the game just get rid of pitchers and use a pitching machine? Possibly a lot more hits, aka "action", that way.

it forces strategy....a pitcher than can bunt is huge in moving runners. A pitcher that is a decent hitter is a pure blessing to a team. Forces the use of pinch hitters, different use of the bullpen, etc. A pitcher that does get on base has to run...and that can have impact. Requires more out of a manager and a pitcher. Also provides some check in balance for a pitcher that wants to brushback or bean someone, knowing he has to dig into the batter's box as well. But hey....what's tradition??

Because this won't cause a race war. This is damaging against the left's narrative. If the left didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any.

Here is an example of waste: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/education/2019/11/19/red-for-ed-action-day-march-indiana-statehouse/4178392002/ Red for Ed I was given a day off, paid of course (Thank you to all the taxpayers BTW), to go show my support for Red for Ed. I of course did not go. My job is to teach and not be a political pawn. I went to school and worked.

What makes you think I don't? I just don't buy that pushing the DH into the NL makes the game better or more marketable. Especially to a younger demographic. Professional sports, baseball included, stopped marketing to the family and went after corporations. Families were priced out or stuck in the nosebleeds. So kids (unlike my generation) didn't go to the ballpark in the numbers of the past. As a result, those kids that are now ticket buyers that didn't grow up in the ballpark don't care now. They have other interests. They have little to no tradition. If they truly wanted to bring the game back, they would make it more affordable to the family.....that includes tickets, concessions and parking. Generations care because they are there to establish love and tradition. If not, why should they invest their time and significant dollars? In addition, MLB started to play politics, hoping to pull younger folks....at the end of the day, they didn't care and some of us older folks that would prefer politics kept out of our entertainment, were turned off. MLB is reaping what they sowed.

I confess, I haven’t a clue how your quasi-political complaint relates to the subject under discussion.

if you would research or just ask about wilson instead of the kmn emoji, you would have easily gotten your answer. a. produce american goods and buy american goods, see 3. b. raise tariffs on imports, you know, the thing that wilson cut to ram through the 16th, then immediately raised tariffs again. c. sales tax, which would give us the CHOICE to buy or not. FREE MARKET.

I believe Ohio does not go to neutral sites until Week 2. Higher seeded team gets a home game in Week 1. Ping pong balls are not involved. 😂

Sure hope this does not mean the committee will keep looking to put IU in a play in game lol

High school fields would be cheaper since you wouldn't need to rent the field. That might be a thought. Also, some capacities of small college fields might be under what some high schools in Indy could provide.

What is the bumblin and shufflin potus gonna do now? Being reported that the terrorist harboring nation of Iran (that HATES the US and that biden is trying to get oil from) is shooting missiles at the US embassy in Iraq.. Easily the worst administration in my lifetime. Anyone that supports/supported biden, please tell us why. You "81 million" owe the US and the free world under attack, an explanation. His policies and utter ineptitude and weakness have put our country DIRECTLY where we are at. IMPEACH him NOW! Midterms can not get here soon enough. All of this to distract from what is going on here in the US. Don't forget, right before Russia invaded Ukraine, Hillary was found guilty of spying on POTUS Trump. Maxwell. Durham. Burisma. Hunter. Human trafficking. South border. All to distract. WAKE UP! Quietest I have ever heard the Riden w Biden crew. They would rather our country turn to sh**, than to reinstate Trump policies that work.

Could be a happy ending for everyone involved. That means Garopollo is still available for the Colts. I think he's their best bet at this point.
