    Astros should sign him, they will have to charge the mound or they will be getting plunked every game

    The Mets say Brandon Nimmo was scratched because the team cardiologist suggested additional cardiac screening. The Mets completed that testing today.

    MiLB tinkering with pickoff rule.

    Not sure if this has been posted yet.

    I think they are looking at this as a rule change in MLB after the current CBA expires. Seems like a decent pace of play change and IMO fewer double plays makes for a better product. Also more SB's leading to an increased value placed on fast guys.

    This is a great idea.. For those that don't want to click on the link, the pitcher is required to step off the rubber before a pickoff throw, so it makes it easier to steal bases.. I applaud this solution, they need to tweek the rules to make the game a little bit more exciting than strikeout/walk/HR.

    Pirates are 0-7 to start spring training.

    Sure, it's just spring training, but be honest, would you be freaked out if the Reds started off this badly?
