MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

While the change may seem trivial or frivolous, language matters. I admit my use of "disabled list" has been so ingrained (especially since we so often use the acronym) that I hadn't given it much thought, but this is a good move, as it removes the stigma of "disabled" and really is more accurate of a term anyway.

Agreed. It's just going to take some time for me to stop using the DL acronym. It's for the best.

I’m awaiting the MAGA crowd to protest the change to IL as homage to politically correct

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

Yeah, I'll likely slip in an occasional "DL" here or there.

I've got a D to slip you.

[rok]

So much for that.

I think there's probably an 80% chance the DH will be in the NL within the next 5 years and I haaaaaaate it.

Can we just contract the Marlins already? Samson is a real piece of work.

In a time when the NFL is losing fans for a myriad of reasons (concussions, Kaepernick, Trump nutters, lackluster Super Bowl play, Patriots dominance) MLB isn't even bothering to ask the NFL to hold its beer; it's doing a fucking keg stand of suck.

The silver lining could be a strike during the year the sox might be really good, so there's that.

Brick is so pure in his hatred of the White Sox. It brings me joy.

[Butcher]

Brewers are doing the whole Don't Sell Brewers/Cubs Tix Outside of Wisconsin thing again.

[jstraw]

Does Stubhub play along?

[Butcher]

Brewers fans have become totally insufferable. I cant imagine what theyd be like if they actually won the pennant or the WS...
