navelgazer October 30, 2017 Share October 30, 2017 Definitely entertained. Rooting for the AL West team, but I could root for LA since "Corey's Brother" Kyle is one of my favorite players. On this game, that's twice the home plate umpire has called strike 3 on a player prematurely headed towards first for his walk. It's like the ump is calling that strike after the player is apparently showing up the ump by thinking they know what the ump is gonna call. Or is it just me? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2463-mlb-thread/page/160/#findComment-3767362

Mittengirl October 30, 2017 Share October 30, 2017 I just looked at the Cleveland Indians “shop” page on MLB.com. On page 1 of the t-shirt section there were 33 items with the Chief Wahoo logo. I am assuming MLB, Inc. takes a cut of each sale. As long as they are making a profit on the sale of merchandise with a racially insensitive (at best) logo, I am not sure MLB has much of a leg to stand on regarding the discipline of players making racially insensitive gestures. Especially when apologies were extended and accepted by the men involved. Just my opinion. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2463-mlb-thread/page/160/#findComment-3767666

Lantern7 October 30, 2017 Share October 30, 2017 I know that newspapers are old-fashioned, but late games never make the back page with the subscription copy. In the defense of the Daily News, today's back page would've still be devoted to the Knicks shocking the Cavs, with an "ANOTHER EPIC GAME IN EPIC SERIES" banner underneath. Also, "JETS SUCK ON FIELD; GIANTS SUCK ON BYE WEEK." ETA: Just to clarify, I think the News will probably have Game 5 up in their later editions. It's just . . . the Knicks . . . beat the Cavs. And this comes days after the Cavs lost to the Nets. You can get a pickup team with three dudes on the side, and they'd beat the Nets with little problem. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2463-mlb-thread/page/160/#findComment-3768463
