@Pharmac1zt @sheanorling Agreed. Thanks for the convo!
English
@itsobvious2me @sheanorling Honestly it’ll never happen for money reasons but I think for the newer fans and casual baseball fans engagement would increase for sure

stop playing baseball when it’s still 25 degrees outside in the midwest, is the lesson

Park and weather effects have cost hitters an estimated 96 home runs so far this year (326 HRs vs 422 expected from contact) The 10 hitters affected the most, according to the BP model:

@Pharmac1zt @sheanorling Thoughts on shortening the season? They start in March and play until October.
English
@itsobvious2me @sheanorling I imagine it’s not totally but they also seem to be starting earlier every year. A full week played in March this year.
English
@Pharmac1zt @sheanorling I’m good with that too. I’m just not smart enough to know if that’s feasible across numerous teams’ schedule.
English
@itsobvious2me @sheanorling Or hear me out, they schedule these games NOT IN MINNESOTA in March. They accommodated the Rays last year and stacked their home games early so less teams had to play outside in Tampa in peak summer.

@JeffEisenband Looks like he just got out of a bubble bath

"For the past 17 years, I just could not wait for the tournament to start ... and this year, I wouldn't care if the tournament never started!"

@KCJHoop Best for all parties if he leaves. Clean slate

Billy Donovan thanks Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley for bringing him to Chicago and reiterates how much he values his relationship with ownership. As for next Monday's meeting, he is consistent: Needs to see path/plan forward before making his decision.

I’m joining @WaddleandSilvy I’m on a full fledged #Bullcott starting immediately. I don’t have time to waste on this “organization.”

The Atlanta Braves have put together this seven-inch burger called "The Bat Flip" 😳
This creation features two pounds of seasoned beef patties, braised short rib, crispy pork belly, melted cheese, crunchy onions, green leaf lettuce, sliced red tomatoes, and a fried egg all stacked on toasted brioche 😍

I’m joining @WaddleandSilvy I’m on a full fledged #Bullcott starting immediately. I don’t have time to waste on this “organization.” SELL THE TEAM!

@jon_greenberg “thank you rich person for saying words that will ultimately lead to more confusion.” Cmon Jon. This guy has been completely screwing over and taking advantage of Bulls fans for years and you’re doing the Tommy Boy “he seems like a nice guy.”
English
I certainly don't agree with some of Michael Reinsdorf's opinions/points, but I thought he did a really good job explaining them in a short window. We could've easily talked for another 45 minutes.
English
@KCJHoop If you don’t want questions, err on the side of transparency. The fanbase/media doubt you bc you’re not transparent. Sell the team!
English
Reinsdorf said "it's simply not true" that Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley received contract extensions and adds "we don't ever talk about contract lengths."
English
@Chicago_NFL Is it at a certain income level that an individual (or family) no longer feels the need self-assess? This is just like the Gar/Pax presser when they stated they wanted to get younger, then proceeded to sign D Wade and Rondo.. like, wtf
English
I’ve heard many press conferences through the years, and I’ll say this: Chicago Bulls Michael Reinsdorf has absolutely no idea what he’s wanting to do or looking for. Crazy!
English
@NickFriedell @AdamAAbdalla Ho hum. Just another Reinsdorf owned team shooting themselves in the foot. What else I new
English
So very Bulls.
Billy is a nice coach — but the fact that his presence might preclude the organization from hiring somebody who wants to start fresh and hire their own guy is far too predictable.

Reinsdorf: "If someone's not interested in Billy as our coach, and Billy wants to be our coach, then they're probably not the right candidate for us"

@pc2005 @bamabearcat @Bradleyflowers Good points - why do you think they would be unwilling to host in April?
English
@itsobvious2me @bamabearcat @Bradleyflowers Doesn't make sense to have the masters in April then have augusta host the pga championship in may and if it's back in August augusta wont want to host because the course wouldn't be in great shape due to the heat.
English
Kind of weird that Augusta National hosted the Senior PGA Championship in 1937 and 1938 but they haven’t been able to land another one since then.

@sheanorling this you? 🤣

I’m a tigers fan I live in Chicago grew up in Michigan my whole life until a few years ago. My opinion cubs fans don’t care about baseball, they’re there for pictures, it’s a soft franchise. White Sox those fans are like Detroit fans, their stadium sucks ass, team sucks, but they do know baseball compared to the cubs fans by far
