Any thoughts on who Texas should draft? My list is 1) Wyatt Langford 2) Dylan Crews 3) Chase Dollander 4) Max Clark and 5) Walker Jenkins. My number 1 guy is significantly ahead of the rest due to MLB.com’s report that he occasionally played catcher and is 60 for power and 65 for hit, with all tools at 50 or above. 2-4 can really be in any order for me with a little bit of draft bonus shuffling. I just hope they don’t do what they did last year since it may blow up in their faces. I’d say that the players that appeal to me the most are mostly outfielders
People work , kids have school and or bed times.
Baseball is entertainment, who wants to watch a 6 hour 2-2 game in the 17th inning with no stars in the game ; very few.
Baseball fans will want to watch. You can use 6 hour extremes as an excuse but those are rare circumstances. It’s not smart business to cater to the people who don’t like your product. The people keeping baseball making record profits have enjoyed baseball enough so far.
Please explain the 300 rule changes in the last several years then.
People think the product sucks so they’re trying to do something about it . Go ahead and stand in front of the steamroller.
Steve mentions that the Yankees and Mets own their own TV networks but that’s not the case for the Mets right? Didn’t SNY stay with the Wilpons? Meaning Cohen’s spending is all the more impressive as he doesn’t get the benefit of the increased SNY revenue that comes with the better team.

Taxing the bullpen on long extra inning games is good for nobody.
Hardly anyone sticks around to watch anyway.
“Nobody is watching so why reward the people who do want to watch”
Interesting take, it seems like MLB agrees with you though.

Ghost – Safe to assume your definition of “taxing” is having a reliever throw more than a dozen pitches?
Or use all of them.
Silly new rule doesn’t allow position players to pitch as much.
I’m talking 13 innings or more as taxing.
