Idk, I don't think it was a great call but he said strike immediately and audibly. It's on the batter that that play happened because he did the melodramatic stuff that confused the baserunner. The call was not late, the signal was slow but that ump gave it in plenty of time for the baserunner.

Yoshinobu came to America to remind us what Aces are supposed to look like. Why hasn't anyone else just considered throwing six pitches at an elite level?

The really interesting bit will be how the minors are handled since minor leaguers are now members of the MLBPA. How does the cap reflect lower levels and spending at them?

If an owner builds a hotel next to a stadium and offer discount rates for people who have a game ticket, is a hotel reservation using a ticket baseball related income? What about beer sales at an adjacent bar used for pregaming? Any activity on an adjacent property directly is affected by baseball.

It feels so dumb to say that considering all the historicity of baseball, but also like, shut out start for a win, 10Ks, and 3 dingers is so much dumber. Like the broadcast said: "why would you walk this guy to load the bases? That's why." Genuinely what the hell did I just watch?

It's sad Kershaw couldn't do that, but fuck me was it fun to watch Mad Max like it's not 2025

Cool, use that Intel to catch and convict them with evidence.

Great title. I really don't want the Dodgers to play the Phillies unless somehow we have a different bullpen in a few days.

How does MLB not sell actual ads on the radio feeds via the MLB app. I mean, I LOVE learning what "oppo taco" means 57 times a game and hearing Mike Piazzas soundbites from 2001, but you'd think they'd at least try to do something with that time.

The ideas on them are fun, but how did they make two of each the term and soundbite then nothing else all season? If 100 of us spend the $3 a month that should be enough to hire someone to make a new one each month, no?

Fuck that. I'm not wearing a vest (except for style) or a helmet. Anyone who strikes a ped or bike in a car should get a mandatory minimum of 1 year, death of the ped or bike should be a mandatory minimum of 5 years. Most important cars and bikes shouldn't share a road bike lanes should be protected

Guaranteed it was a false flag by the FBI

It's funny people are so focused on Arch meanwhile a guy who's dad was hall of "pretty good" in the league is playing better and basically invisible since his dad was a center in Detroit.

Omg, we get it, you're so much smarter and cooler than all the sports fans of the world.

What a prick.

Whenever the abundance shit came out it was obvious he was a plant. "hey, people are getting too interested in smarter urban planning, we need to harness that while also steering them to more capital-friendly ideas."

Lol. Texas is so dumb. "building in a swamp has caused Flooding, let's just keep doing that and build massive tunnels underneath"

Idk why I haven't seen any other comparisons to Luca Doncic before this.

It's unreasonable to expect a hitter to just 'be good' early in the season. It's completely normal to to need a game or 120 to start getting in the groove.

I don't understand why doing other stuff instead of focusing on the match is so en vogue. Like they did a thing on a kid who died, and I get it, tragedy, but like there's a tennis match happening. Wouldn't it be better to have this between games so I can focus on what the lady was saying?

He's got the same points as Pelosi before him. Toothless talking points. His whole thing about how "people will be concerned" plays right into the GOPs fear mongering. Lede needs to be "FOX News makes it seem like you can't walk the streets but you can, crime is down." Not "yeah, you're unsafe"

The only good one I ever saw was some SA Int'l cricket match I'm watching middle of the day where they're talking to the captain in the field, just BSing, ball's hit her way and she just yells "FUCK" and after she makes the play she's like "firetruck, that's what I meant to say." AMAZING COMEDIC TV.
