Or do the hitters really need to need to? Is it just another fad?

Your opinions please.

CC Sabathia got treated like a batting practice pitcher by those dreaded Houston Astro sluggers.

Opinions?

Keep in mind that he is supposed to replace Kris Medlen the Braves ace. Or was it a desperation move to placate their fans?

Lots of hot air but no big player moves or trades. Very dull I calls it!

He was the ROY by default for a while there a couple of months ago. His stats lately have looked pretty ordinary. Do you still consider him a legitimate ROY contender?

I think 34 players is too many. Last night's constant stream of players entering the game by what seemed liked a parade of non-entities and unknowns was extremely distracting. I liked the older method of the actual twenty-five best players being their league's representatives

Mine is: "Why isn't the all time baseball hit leader in the Baseball Hall of Fame?

Use any method you like in your answer. Humor, sarcasm, facts. Or all three.

Before he showed up, in the previous 25 games, all the Dodgers' short stops combined had 1 double and 1 home run and were batting at or below the Mendoza Line.

Along comes Ramirez and equals their XBH production in just one game!

So, they (whoever they are?) say he is a defensive liability and mercurial in temperament and prone to sulking, I'll still take that kind of offense from the shortstop position! GO Hanley!

Add, not a baseball question. What's with all these weird questions this AM about non-baseball subjects.

Broken hearts? Sports work out programs? Alcohol related deaths, Two sillies about Cricket? Cricket? Geez, enough already! Royal Brit's look a likes, What is the best time to go to a game? Huh? How do you order tickets? Should I play sports? C'mon, Give me a break! PLEASE!

He has said publicly that he should be the starting Center fielder and really thinks that Left-field is beneath his talents. Plus a relatively poor 2013 start lends credence to the theory. Are you listening Scoiscia?

Name the very first MLB starting pitcher to pitch at least 200 innings in a season without pitching a complete game and the year it happened.

Can you name the three pitchers who pitched at least 100 innings in the MLB and also pitched 100 innings in any one of the old Black Leagues

Or made it even better?

Quote follows: "Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship,character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played."

That's it! Those are the instructions on the Hall of Fame ballot. All are very subjective in tone if not in fact.

Assuming the Angels do not make anymore major position player roster changes, will Mike Scoiscia go with batting orders that maximize all of Mike Trout's awesome 5 tool capabilities? An example follows: Lead-off Mike Trout, # 2, Eric Aybar, # 3, Albert Pujols, # 4 Morales, # 5, Mark Trumbo, # 6, Kendrys, # 7, Iannetta, # 8, Callaspo, # 9 Bourjos.

Is baseball better off? Yes? No? and Why?

1. Is it less than (a) 2%, or (b) 5 % to 10 %, or (c) more then 10 %

2. Can you prove it? (a) Yes, or (b) no?

And that Barry Bonds was a skinny dude of 28 and listed at being 6 feet, 1 inches tall and weighing 185 pounds.. He had played 7 seasons and had 176 homers. An average of 25 per season. His final playing height and weight, 6 feet, 3 inches and 240 pounds and now with 762 lifetime homers.Aren't steroids wonderful. Imagine being able to add 55 pounds of muscle and 2 inches of height after age 34?.
