I do agree LA will likely use a rotation at DH, but I’d speculate Turner has more DH starts than Muncy this year. Muncy can play 2B+ 1B well and has lined up at 3B in the past. Turner’s D took a downturn last year and I’d think the DH would help him stay healthy down the stretch, so long as he’s not a guy who can’t sit on the bench for 3 innings at a time
~7:59~”Thoughts on rules like limiting # of pickoff throws per AB, batter not stepping out of box, and pitch clock? IMO it’s not the length of games that’s an issue, it’s the amount of time it takes to get to bat on ball action that disinterests the casual fan.”
Those seemingly smaller actions are all EXACTLY what causes delays between pitches and “bat on ball actions”..
When you decrease the time between pitches, you decrease the time it will take to see those game action plays.
It is not exactly rocket science..Although, it is a bit more complicated than my simple explanation.
Just wanted to point out mark bowman did say on Twitter two days ago that Freddie freeman is symptom free just hasn’t been able to test negative two days in a row
Mark you said posey is leaving 7.9m on the table. Since he gets no service time wont he still have the same number of years left? And get the full years salary at that.
