Did when I was a kid, slowly getting back into it these past few months. Only current player I'm collecting is Rizzo. I'm not really into the prospecting aspect of it, mostly just buy a few packs on occasion & hope I get some ok hits or at least decent commons so I can trade for the handful of cards I want.tempo_n_groove said:
Between him and Julio, yes.HesCalledDyer said:Wander Franco was the most sought after prospect in the card hobby this year.
You collect cards? I'm loading up on Hunter Bishop, Franco, Rodriguez and Kelenic. I'm trying for both Franco's too from Miami.Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 250 -

New York Yankees pitcher Domingo German has been suspended for 81 games for violating MLB's joint domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse policy, the league announced Thursday.
The suspension is retroactive to Sept. 19, when German was first placed on administrative leave stemming from the investigation, meaning he will miss 63 games in 2020.
Shortly after he was placed on administrative leave, a report from Bob Klapisch of The New York Times indicated that an official from the MLB commissioner's office witnessed German slapping his girlfriend in a public setting.
There is no police report regarding the incident, which was reported directly to the league office, sources told Lindsey Adler of The Athletic.
German will serve one of the longest domestic violence suspensions in the league's history, though he'll sit out fewer games than Hector Olivera (82), Odubel Herrera (85), and Jose Torres (100).
The Yankees released a statement regarding the suspension:
We remain steadfast in our support of Major League Baseball's investigative process and the disciplinary action taken regarding Domingo German. Domestic violence - in any form - is a gravely serious matter that affects every segment of our society. Major League Baseball has taken the lead in our industry to make domestic violence awareness and prevention a priority, and we will continue to back those efforts. We are encouraged by Domingo's acceptance of his discipline, and we sincerely hope this indicates a commitment to making a meaningful and positive change in his personal conduct.
As per the basic agreement's joint domestic violence policy, the club will have no further comment on this matter and refer all questions to the office of the commissioner.
As part of the suspension, which German did not appeal, the 27-year-old agreed to make a contribution to Sanctuary for Families, a non-profit based in New York City that works with victims of domestic violence. He'll also undergo further evaluation and treatment.

That is what was originally reported, that he slapped her at CC's foundation party in front of a lot of people. That was shot down, but I guess it is something along those lines.0

20 years ago we were wondering if the ball was juiced. Turns out the answer was right in front of us. This last year we were wondering if the ball is juiced ... again, the answer is probably right in front of us.
Would you rather be 20% stronger or know the next pitch that is coming?Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0 -
Do you think sign stealing is that rampant in baseball?Jason P said:20 years ago we were wondering if the ball was juiced. Turns out the answer was right in front of us. This last year we were wondering if the ball is juiced ... again, the answer is probably right in front of us.

I would agree with you but the amount of K's that are growing each year would lend me to say not.
People are swinging out their wazoo's now and missing more than ever, but when they connect, oh lawdy!0 -
I think when other teams and players see the results and that it isn't being enforced you are putting your team at a disadvantage if you don't do it ... similar logic that justified steroids to some. I understand the swing angle but knowing a pitch is an uber advantage. I'm guessing that not all teams are doing it, but as former staff and players spread out, I could see other teams starting a dedicated team for stealing signs.tempo_n_groove said:

So let's say half of the MLB teams are stealing signs. How many teams broke their team HR record last year? Around half?Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0 -
I don't think it has anything to do with "launch angles", those are just buzz words that they throw around. Lots of older players were swinging uppercuts like Griffey, Bonds and Bagwell that I can think of off the top of my head.Jason P said:

I don't care if players steal signs but if they are doing it with electronics then that is not right.
I always wondered if when he was banging on the dugout if he was just banging or was tipping signs?0 -
Those guys are homerun hitters. But everyone is doing it even with 2 strikes. Back then you would just try to put the ball in play with 2 strikestempo_n_groove said:

He already did. 144 games for the 08-09 Dbacks. 36 year old nobody. I'd say he's washed up but he never had it to begin with.tempo_n_groove said:
