    Red Sox hire analytics company to optimize game start times in 2023

    Just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true. Especially considering the absurdness they needed to do in order for games to come in at 3 hours and 10 minutes last year.

    Red Sox hire analytics company to optimize game start times in 2023

    Yeah, 6PM start times it is. The RSN number is absolutely driven by what is on then. Also makes it obvious why Manfred is trying to shove a square peg into a round hole with rushing to get games over,

    Red Sox hire analytics company to optimize game start times in 2023

    Seems like a good reason to start the games earlier, rather than taking the "No one is watching at the end, let's play darts to decide the winner."

    Dan Shaughnessy: Taking a dump in your mouth one column at a time

    I don't even give him enough credit to think he has some "grand" goal – he's just a horrible, disgusting person that is horrible and disgusting.

    Dan Shaughnessy: Taking a dump in your mouth one column at a time

    It's long been known that he's a racist, why would this surprise anyone? People really, really, really need to stop giving him any attention. Yes, I know replying here is exactly what they want. I don't often, but it needs repeating - the guy is a racist, among other things.

    Agreed completely. Just an absolutely vile person – and that's without even getting into the hypocrisy and racism.

    Sudden Death OT in baseball

    And I doubt it does much of anything for the mythical "speed of the game" either.

    Sudden Death OT in baseball

    Manfred is out for any way he can sneak game-ruining ideas in. Remember those "We're just doing this for this year because of Covid" things from 2020 that carried over into 2021? The guy is going to kill Baseball. Or, at the very least, any interest I had in it.

    Red Sox player that you cared most about

    It's always so bizarre to me when people talk about pre-2000s internet as if it was some sort of information wasteland or something. There was a huge amount of great information out there, message boards to discuss it, etc.

    ESPN Is Pathetic

    Pretty much. Between Manfred, Fox, and ESPN, Baseball is certainly doing all it can to make a mess of things.

    Setting Up My Own Email Domain for Business

    Interesting. I've had my own domain (firstnamelastname.com) for probably a decade or more, as well as a "PayPal Business Debit Card" – I don't make or sell anything, it's basically just a résumé – but I've never thought of doing that...

    2022 HOF Candidates: Ortiz and Papelbon First Time on Ballot

    Why just people I think haven't been treated well enough? The system working well implies multiple facets. For instance, a system where Jack Morris was deliberated on in painstaking detail for 15 years, agonizing at not getting out in... Only to be tossed in a year later. Not to mention all...
