Problem with expanded rosters - Tom Verducci - SI.com
He makes a good point - why have up to 15 extra players the last month of the season when games become the most important? It's time to set game rosters closer to 25 for September.

I disagree too.
I don’t understand his argument at all. You can’t “outsuit” the other team if the other team calls up 40 players as well. If they choose not to, that’s on them.
Why should a team not be allowed to use all its assets? Why shouldn’t a team with better depth get the advantage of exploiting that depth?
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
Wouldn't that then simply be an argument for expanding the active roster for all games?
I’m not sure how it makes sense to have a larger roster for only september games
Because that wasn't the point of expanding rosters
The point was to reward minor leaugers and get a look at guys you might use next year. I would be perfectly ok with having game rosters set at 25. Still have up to forty on the roster but only dress 25.

Who's to decide what the "point" is?
I agree you should be able to “get a look at guys you might use next year.”
How do you get a look at them without having the play in games? Shouldn’t you still try to win those games?
Is the point of the rule that they should come up and not see action, but just wander around the clubhouse until the manager begins to recognize their faces and know their first names? Is that how it was designed?
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
How do you get a look at them without having the play in games
You can get a look at them by rotating them through the gameday roster without the burden of constantly demoting and recalling player from triple-A. Also a 25 man gameday roster would be slightly larger than usual, since presumably you would not dress at least 3 of your starters for a game.
I just don't have an issue with it the way it is.
We’re trying to solve a “problem” that doesn’t exist.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
I agree
So rosters get expanded during the stretch run of the pennant race. So what? It’s not like Brandon Snyder or Greg Golson or whoever is really the key guy who makes or breaks an entire pennant drive. These guys are September callups because they aren’t good enough (yet) to play in the summer heat. If Ron Washington wants to play reliever roulette, go nuts – odds are he’ll get fucking burned by that shit. And nobody would complain if a losing team used 11 pitchers in one game.
...a piece of V mail in which everything but the salutation "Dear Mary" had been blocked out and on which the censoring officer had written, "I long for you tragically. R. O. Shipman, Chaplain, U.S. Army."
Name another sports that allows for an expanded roster during last 20% of the season
It makes no sense from a competitive point of view.
“You can use 25 guys from March 31 to August 31, but Sept 1, use another 15!”
Makes no sense. And NHL has as almost as extensive a minor league system as baseball.
"People ask, 'Why Baltimore?', and I’m like, 'Why not? What am I missing?'" - Buck Showalter
what difference does that make?
name another sport that doesn’t have a time limit to it. Baseball is baseball. Adding 5-15 extra players with a combined value of approximately 0-0.5 wins over the month doesn’t do anything to dilute the games or the pennant races.

"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
I like the expanded rosters
Mostly because I think injuries should impact who wins & who loses as little as possible. This allows teams that are charging down the line for a playoff spot to better compensate for late season injuries, and that’s not a bad thing, that’s a good thing.
Football, on the other hand, is almost the opposite. It’s turning into Rollerball. Pretty soon the rules will get to the point where if a guy’s injured mid-game the team will have to play with 10 guys for the rest of the game.
I mean let’s say, let’s just say, that Ray-Ray goes down for the season tonight. The team is SOL-JWF. That’s shit outta luck and jolly well fucked. Because no matter how sharp the FO is, league rules make it damn near impossible to acquire a reasonable stand-in
Just one of many, many, MANY reasons I become more & more disinterested in the NFL every year.

I mean let’s say, let’s just say, that Ray-Ray goes down for the season tonight.
Let’s not say that. Let’s never ever say that. I dont even want to think it.
Fair enough
Let’s change the example to Rivas.
"Fairy tales start 'once upon a time...'. Fishing stories start 'now this ain't no bullshit...'."

And another thing
Recent rule change says that if someone gets hurt during a playoff series he can be replaced on roster mid-series, as long as the injured guy doesn’t come back for that series. This is also a good thing.

I dont quite have that option today
I sorta botched a draft of something that i had due last friday. There weren’t really any negative consequences, but I dont think I came out of it looking particularly good and need to make up for it on the second draft.

is annoying. I haven’t been around since friday so I am sure it has been brought up. Either way, it is obvious I am on the internet at work. They need to put some Excel columns up or something.

Drabek is actually a highly touted prospect though
We always get shut down by rookies that come out of know where; I dont know if he fits the profile.
I have seen the name Kyle Drabek mentioned frequently by Keith Law and the like.
So that’s a pretty good point. This guy isn’t some total unknown coming up to make a spot start or two. The pitcher likely to ding us along those lines is throwing tonight. I really hope we can get this damn Blue Jays monkey off our backs.

I've been playing baseball since I was six years old, so that's 40 years I've been on a baseball field and around a baseball field, and so our opinions are formulated through facts, not fiction, not their little chat room jargon.
After working in a small, boring office...
in the suburbs for years, my new job in DC has me completely shocked, shocked, that there were women that could go to work and look mind-bendingly attractive at the same time. That and the fact that there is like a F to M ratio of 3:1 in DC ensures that I see many examples of this.

Well, if you want perspective as to why there are so few women in science
My dad’s alma mater, California Institute of Technology, didn’t accept women in the undergraduate program until 1970. Their logic was moronic, of course. They thought that women only went to college to get husbands, and they conveniently ignored the fact that MIT had been accepting women as undergrads for years and their average GPA’s were in fact a tiny bit better than the male students.
But I digress. My point is, forty years may seem like a while but it’s hard to totally get rid of stereotypes.

There are plenty of reasons.
Let’s not pretend it’s always about discrimination and oppression.
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver
I'm not saying that...
At all. There are plenty of reasons, but that’s part of it. It’s a boys club. Always has been. Nowadays there are plenty of brilliant female scientists, but the ratio of men to women is disparaging. At Blair High School (my brother’s former school) there is a Math-Science magnet and Communications-Arts program, and if you look at the stats, the CAP is probably 70-80% female and the magnet is 70-80% male. That says a lot.
I'm back. YAY SUMMER!
but that's true of many colleges prior to the 1970s
so there’s no reason it should only affect engineering schools.

will be interesting to see him. he seemed to have quite a few walks in the minors, I would think the O’s could get something going if they are patient
Any task BIG or small, Do it well or not at all
Kyle Drabek? KYLE DRABEK?!? Son of former Cy winner and former Oriole Doug Drabek?!?
Yeah, that’s the guy. What about it? So he’s pitching tonite, big deal. It’s not news like THE REDSKINS BEATING THE COWBOYS or something, now is it? Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, ya dome douchebags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Until the O’s are a relevant team they will not get any serious media coverage outside the Baltimore area. Hell, the WaPo doesn’t even cover them anymore. Washington and Dallas have a long, storied rivalry and their prominence in the media will probably last forever — especially Dallas. If you were being sarcastic, then disregard this post.
Concerning Dallas…superbowl?! Um, yeah, right.

hey
if i remember correctly, the saints lost to the bucs last year as did the packers. it’s a weird league my friend. now i’m not a cowboys fan, but i still say don’t count them out. the one play that the skins scored a TD on was just week 1 cobwebs for the coaching staff. they should never have called that play.

If the Saints lost to the Bucs,
it was late in the season, after they had gone 13-0 and then subsequently lost to the Cowboys. I highly doubt that was a competitive game. But I’m being picky, your point is still valid.

a considerably better question
...a piece of V mail in which everything but the salutation "Dear Mary" had been blocked out and on which the censoring officer had written, "I long for you tragically. R. O. Shipman, Chaplain, U.S. Army."
that was to be my next question

I guess Buck must just not like what Bell's been showing him
and that’s definitely a defensible position to take. If you ignore the tiny amount of playing time (or I think the nerds are calling it “sample size”) that Bell’s really gotten to prove himself.

i dont like what bell is showing either
but i’ll take it considering that wiggy isn’t showing much either.

Buck likes his defense
I've been playing baseball since I was six years old, so that's 40 years I've been on a baseball field and around a baseball field, and so our opinions are formulated through facts, not fiction, not their little chat room jargon.
i don't like his defense or his bat
or the stupid way he wears his hat

Interesting lineup
I am eager to see Snyder and Reimold play. It would be huge to have at least one of the Snyder-Bell duo turn into an every day player. So far, it does not look like Bell will work out because he stikes out too often.
that's cool that janet marie smith is doing more renovations
im good friends with the family.
anyways, for the sake of relevance, i’m elated that koji will now be the closer.
KOJIKOJIKOJI!!
"double rainbow...what does it MEAN?"
The Signing Bonus: We're back in business.
Aside from her aiming the LF line seats toward CF instead of home plate
She did good work overseeing OPaCY the first time.
Of course, lots of male architects got their noses out of joint because the media labeled her “head architect” of OPaCY, which she wasn’t, but she didn’t bother correcting them.
If anyone should be able to good job at the renovations, it should be the person who oversaw the construction.

and actually
I noticed that this is starting to be trend with him. Bill James, the baseball analyst, is brilliant. Bill James, the social commentary, moralist, isn’t so good.
