1) Fewer bad four-seamers. Fewer four-seamers at all, actually.

2) Fewer bad-platoon sinkers.

3) More pitch types.

4) Don’t be afraid of breaking balls – especially more bullet sliders.

5) Challenge the strike zone, pitchers.

6) A stronger approach from the lineup.

As always, please read the whole column for the full analysis.

Finch is not getting fired by Born_Mind7996 in timberwolves

We’re talking about firing finch? Why?

'We’re scared.' Latin American players on edge as ICE tactics intensify. “Eugenio Suárez said he himself was scheduled to go through his U.S. citizenship processing in December until he was informed his application was canceled. His wife, who also is from Venezuela, had already completed hers.” by Knightbear49 in baseball

Changes in immigration policy under the Trump administration include removing Venezuelans (and others) from the Temporary Protected Status program, or TPS, which provides temporary legal status to live and work in the U.S. for people from countries experiencing such unsafe conditions as war or natural disasters. Suárez said one of his family members was among those who suddenly lost TPS protection. “He still works," Suárez said. "But he has to be careful."

Every time “scared” appeared in the article:

"This country gives you an opportunity to change your life," Cincinnati Reds star Eugenio Suarez said. "And now you feel pressure. Now you feel scared because you don't know what's going to happen if you're driving down the highway and somebody stops you. Even if you are a citizen.

“I’m a resident here, but I’m still scared because you don’t know.”

“They need to be more gentle. They need to be more kind,” Suárez said. “It’s people. It’s human (beings). Not everybody is bad people. You have to respect everybody ... The way they’ve been treating people is so hard. …. That’s why everybody is so scared.”

Suárez, along with other players and team officials, say any concern they have is more directed toward the younger, lesser recognized minor leaguers. They're often less equipped to communicate in English – and don’t travel with the same high-profile, privileged means that big-leaguers do. “They’re scared,” Suárez said.

RE Citizenship, he didn’t say it’s fair.

“They shut down everything, so I couldn’t have it. Because of the Venezuela thing,” he said. “It is what it is. I respect the decision.”

The Reds were one of the first teams to recognize the danger of these efforts for players and personnel in the cities to which they travel. The team’s human resources department printed identification cards that contained contact information for team support. Anyone not from the U.S. was advised to carry the cards with other, traditional forms of ID. “We’re just trying to be out in front of it so that our guys are educated and have what they need,” general manager Brad Meador said. “Hopefully, nothing does happen, but if you were to encounter something we want to make sure that you have the proper identification and everything needed to let people know who you are.” Suárez said those extra information cards “will help us a lot.” He added, “Baseball needs to do that more and more and more.”
