Stanton just drilled a ball off of Tanakas dome. Hope he is ok. I would think a screen would be a good idea, but maybe hard to place with a full pitching mode. Scary stuff regardless.

I hadn’t really been paying much attention to the new format until last night. DH in the NL! I will not watch a single game of MLB with this bullshit rule.

I'm 100% in favor of it. I'm sick of watching NL managers trying to out-think themselves with stupid double switches, horribly-timed substitutions and pinch runners, along with embarrassing attempts by pitchers to swing a bat or bunt. Sure, it's tradition... but it's also ridiculous baseball. Give me a full-time DH in both leagues from now on. It should help with pace of play as well.

It’s kind of like the kid we stuck out in RF that just stood out there picking his nose and eating it in LL. Batted just as well. Lost AB.

Sounds like this may be the last season the Cleveland baseball club is known as the Indians.
As a diehard fan I’ll sure lament the name change for a minute but not so much that it will make any meaningful change in how I cheer for the organization; and if it puts any controversy surrounding the name to bed, so be it.
Replacement names being floated range from absurd to somewhat good but none really seem to hit the mark. I’m sure like any other sports team they’ll come up with some focus group tested nonsense that no one likes.
I say just call em the Tribe but I’m sure that’s a bridge not far enough for some.I still call it The Jake.

Betcha merchandise sails for the Indians and Redskins are nuts right now. It's kinda like gun sales when they thought Obama would ban them.

Apparently there's already betting odds on the Tribe's new name:
https://www.wkyc.com/article/sports/...1-1e653c13132c
The Naps and Spiders are both favorites, as prior names of the club before being renamed the Indians in 1915.
Some other's I've heard floated around today are:
Rockers
Wild Things
Walleye
Captains
Guardians
Commodores (after Commodore Perry who defeated the British in a the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812)
Buzzards
Buckeyes
Blues (also a prior name)
Unions
Blue Sox
Great Lakers
Steamers (yes, please)
Cuyahogas
Fellers
Lumberjacks
Crows
Tribe
None of these except the Tribe (which won't happen) really appeal to me, not that it matters as I have zero say in this. Hard pressed I'd say the following would be OK by me: Commodores (they already have the Captains and Clippers as minor league affiliates so this makes too much sense), Blues, Buzzards, Guardians and begrudgingly, Spiders.
ETA: I just heard someone suggest the Dimes in honor of Ten Cent Beer Night. That may work.
I still call it The Jake.

While that would save loads on printing costs, I'm just not sure it'll fly.

"Indians manager Terry Francona told reporters about a diabolical prank star shortstop Francisco Lindor played on him during practice. Lindor told Francona to clean his hands and handed him what the manager thought was hand sanitizer. However, what Lindor gave Francona was the sticky substance hitters use to get a better grip on the bat."

That's fucking hilarious. Way to go, Frankie.
I see this as an expensive endeavor that would normally preclude a name change, but also as a means for the notoriously cheap Dolans to help sell the team. Think of all that sweet, sweet new merch revenue.I still call it The Jake.

Brown Sox? or Midges?

It's definitely going to be a heavily vetted super corporate meaningless name. Cleveland United?
