I think the reason is they worry about a team strategically placing baseballs on a pitcher's sleeve or something to mess with a hitter's ability to see the ball.

Jerome Agricola posted:The official uniform rules state that "no pattern that imitates or suggests the shape of a baseball may be used on uniforms". Sucks. This is not remotely true. They use it on their throwbacks, which is like every Friday home game and sometimes a bunch of other random days as well. In 1994, the organization felt like celebrating their 25th anniversary by replacing one of the best logos in professional sports with one of the worst (seriously, look it up.) Roughly about this same time, they coincidentally (or causally?) became a terrible team for the next 10 years. Despite overwhelming fan support to return to the logo, the organization has indicated that it is trying to distance itself identity-wise from the 1982 Brewers (and not 'resting on their laurels' or some poo poo,) also despite the fact that that was the era when Brewers fans had the most to be excited about. This stupid team is constantly trying to reinvent itself and doesn't realize a good thing when they've got it. It's the same reason why they ditched the giant beer barrel and chalet (even though it's sitting in some brewery's warehouse downtown) and instead opted for that yellow plastic pile of poo poo.

I've no idea why they are not using the good logo. Just going by something I heard (and then read on wikipedia). E: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_uniforms "This page has some issues" E2: I don't read well. "Notably, in apparent violation of this rule, several teams have used cap or jersey logos that have incorporated a baseball in their design, such as the Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Phillies, Florida Marlins, Minnesota Twins,Milwaukee Brewers, New York Mets, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, San Francisco Giants, and the New York Yankees. However, in each of these cases, the baseball element of each logo is either obscured by another logo element, or rendered so small as not to be confused with an actual baseball."

Fun fact: Had a friend whose not a huge baseball fan from out of town come to a game with us earlier this summer go to a game with us. After tailgating for three hours and about 4 innings into the game he, unprompted by anything I said, said "wait, why are all those shirts and jerseys the fans are wearing not the same as what the team is wearing?" Sadly they don't even wear them every Friday  At least when they do it looks awesome and they match the fans.

CC Sabathia had swelling in his knee this morning, and is seeing Dr. James Andrews for a follow-up. Olney just tweeted that he might need microfracture surgery "with an uncertain pitching future."

If there's any glimmer of hope, it's that sometimes teams do give up and go back to their old stuff. The Twins finally gave up and went back to their TC cap design, which is infinitely better than that stupid loving m with the swoosh under it they used. And yes, I agree 100% with the chalet. Also Bernie Brewer was a lot cooler when it was a real person.

It's definitely one of the most amazing drafts. First 11 picks, three CY winners and one MVP. Most of them aren't even done with their primes. Most interesting part was that the Royals had fired Baird and hired Moore just before the draft, but Moore announced he wouldn't be available to make selections for the Royals in the draft. Joe Pos had a really interesting piece on that draft for the Royals, I wonder if it's been lost since his website ate it.

I wonder what it would take for the Rangers to get Smoak back at this point. I doubt he'll ever amount to anything, but at least it would add a vaguely interesting wrinkle to this horrible, horrible season if he was cheap enough.

Moe_Rahn posted:I couldn't find a specific article about it, but I did manage to turn up The Royal Decade, Joe's 9500-word ode to futility that I presumed had been lost to the mists. Yeah, this was peak Pos. And he does talk about that draft in there. quote:Finally Baird was fired, and the Royals hired Dayton Moore, probably the hottest GM prospect in baseball. And even THAT they screwed up. They hired Dayton Moore BEFORE the 2006 amateur draft, but Moore insisted that he could not start until AFTER the draft because it would not be fair to the Braves. It was a classy decision by Dayton … except that the Royals had the No. 1 pick in the 2006 draft. It was one of those critical moments for an organization. The No. 1 overall pick can make or break a team’s future. And the Royals went into that draft with no GM. lol

OH. loving. GOODY.quote:Jhoulys Chacin has been transferred to the 60 day DL. He is expected to see several specialists about his shoulder. Fears are that he has some type of rotater cuff injury, and will likely need some type of rotater cuff surgery which would knock him out of most of the 2015 season. gently caress ME.

R.D. Mangles posted:WHAT THE gently caress ARE YOU DOING WHY WOULD YOU TRADE WITH BILLY BEANE Well yeah, this....but I also don't get it since after Addison Russell what else do the A's have? Not to get into chicken counting and all, but middle infield isn't exactly an organizational weak point at the moment, maybe some players off the 25 man roster as well? I kinda wanna see a deal go through just to see how the package Beane would eventually get for just Samardzija would compare. VVVVVVVVVVV- Yeah, this is why people still deal with Beane. Unlike the Astros, if he's looking to get real talent he'll also give it up. GoatSeeGuy fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Jul 5, 2014 |
