sdandrea1 And redo their batting gloves between pitches.........I can't watch baseball anymore. Can't stay awake.

I go watch the Little League game at the local ball field...lots more fun and sure beats watching the Pirates.....

    sdandrea1 Hopefully they’ll implement the pitch clock next year. In our minor league games here it’s eliminated the gamesmanship between pitcher and batter for the most part.

        Yes! Our minor league team here has the pitch clock and a time limit for inning change. Game moves along nicely.

            Same here. And I can enjoy a nice day at the park with tickets, food, and beverages not requiring a loan to attend like the majors

                $18 beers........but it's a 20oz at Nats park. Fredericksburg Nats park is a fun affordable outing.

                    Watching the tournament right now. A fair number of guys taking advantage of the shorts ruling, including Chase Koepka, Michelson (!), Westwood, Dechambeau, Na, and others. DJ sticking with long pants.

                      darpar Love the Long Socks. I wish he would really own it with some white New Balance golf shoes.

                        darpar Westwoods long socks makes him look like a tourist out for a round of vacation golf.

                        He is. Relax. Count the $$$. Have a beer. 😉

                          We watched Saturday and Sunday. I don't know, it just doesn't flow for me. Plus, having the same basic group of guys over and over, it reinforces the feeling of randomness of elite tournament golf, if that makes any sense.

                          My biggest gripe is that all of the carnival stuff they do makes it feel like an exhibition. As a fan, I think it's an inferior product.

                          I like that they can wear shorts.

                            I am curious, as this sentiment comes up a lot, but did you watch any of the DP World Tour Made in Himmerland this weekend (tourney in Denmark)

                                That's what it is! That being said, it still can be compelling.
