  1. I mean, I've spent 5 hours a week for the past 7 baseball seasons working with 12 year olds. You can stick in your ear buds and listen to the radio at the games like the rest of the old timers and once they all die out there won't be a sport left. This isn't hockey where if no youth in America gave a crap there would still be a sport. Look at the decline in viewership among young people and the decline in participation. Baseball in the States competes with multiple sports. If MLB wants to regulate young players having fun and playing how they want to play, young people won't be interested. Even the difference between Freeman fans and Acuna fans speaks to the issue. I've only coached in Braves country. The kids like Acuna. They like Albies. Freeman is boring. But whatever, hold your own opinions. If you don't understand the sport is in decline and don't think young players doing what they are doing is good for the game I don't know what to tell you.
  2. He isn't, but his view count and popularity to me show that he's giving the people what they want. And what he provide is all that fun stuff. Interesting reference as well, going to need to read more on him.
  3. Can I ask how much time you spend talking to youth baseball players about who their favorite players are or what their favorite moments are? Do you follow JomBoy at all? Buddy Boy and Manfred have done very little to invest in the future of the game. The young guys are doing it for themselves. If baseball is going to be a sport in 100 years, it’s because big ol’ bat flips, pimp jobs, and flashy play. It’s awesome there. If you’re looking to get a real VT college experience, hit up ToTs sometime over the weekend and chug down a rail. Will get you in the right real quick.
  4. I’ve had this issue on my phone for at least a month using chrome. I figured it was just me since I haven’t seen anyone mention it.
  5. As forum I would assume that the majority are larger Sabres fans than Bills fans, but I’ve gotta imagine a very large contingent of the board cares far more about the Bills right now, right? I still don’t follow the Bills anywhere as closely I do Sabres, but I couldn’t even tell you the last time the Sabres were one of the things to excite me the most in life.
  6. No. Have you been to Blacksburg or to VT before?
  7. My group of 6 paid over $300 per ticket with fees to sit upper deck for the home opener. Would have taken $200 any day of the week. Never thought I would spend a grand on a Bills game counting flights and boarding the dogs.
  8. One week until I fly home for the home opener!
  9. Every year but twice.
  10. Holy *****, is that an actual follow-up shot??? The outfits match a bit.
  11. What do you think about lambert?
  12. Just imagine the reaction when Jack goes to his next summer skate on BU gear
  13. Hot take: Having Fiala, Greenway, and Dumba even without the prospects over the life of Eichel's contract would put the Sabres closer to the playoffs than having Eichel over that same period. Those three alone obviously aren't enough though. GMKA would be stupid to turn down a package that included those three plus Rossi and Boldy. Take back any contracts Minny wants (2 year or less).
  14. My office is trying to make vaccinated people mask up, after not enforcing mask policy for unvaccinated. Let’s just say there’s a lot of pushback.
  15. Great trade for both teams
  16. Does he go by Sasha?
  17. Nothing matters until we start developing better.
  18. The Hughes moment was great. Happy for them.
  19. One thing to remember about meatballs is they go stale pretty quick...
  20. Now we're talking. Don't tempt me with a good time.
