i have a very bad feeling about cool kyle's start against the dodgers tomorrow and i can't emotionally handle him getting absolutely lit up by their oops all MVPs lineup. i have literally never heard of the dodgers pitcher, so i assume he will throw 8 innings of 2-hit shutout ball.

Gonna pop over and catch an Ohtani home run and get tackled by 35 Chicago security beef boys all at once.

Monday is the 50th anniversary of Henry Aaron hitting No. 715.

Speaking of exchanges for milestone homers, Sammy Davis Jr. promised $25,000 to the fan that caught it. Since that was Tom House in the bullpen, something tells me House did not get $25K.

Pitch clock and game times moved up stinks. I'm a night owl and I love watching baseball late, this all games over by 8PM is garbage.

“Believe it or not, this is going to be the best ticket in Major League Baseball,” [Kings owner Vivek] Ranadivé said. “Because it’s a small, intimate stadium. It’s like being in the lower bowl in a basketball game. And so imagine that, (Shohei) Ohtani is there and it’s a small, intimate stadium. So it’s going to be the most sought-after ticket in America.”

Bobby Miller was the Dodgers best pitching prospect going into last year. He throws 100 and also has a pretty good changeup

He struck out 11 Cardinals in 6 shutout innings with 1 walk in his first start this year.

I got a taste for blown saves
From the story in The Athletic regarding the Ohtani ball

quote:

“I don’t regret it,” Roman said. “If I would have kept the ball, what would it have been worth really (without the authentication)? I feel like, this at least, if he retires as a Hall of Famer or anything like that, I have this merch.”

Yeah I'm back to not giving a gently caress that the team was mean to them or whatever

bawfuls posted:

Japanese speakers on Twitter are saying that the Ohtani quote about talking to them is a poor translation.

You'd think the guy would have a good translator after so many years.

We've reached a point where nobody realiably knows what Ohtani is saying, which is extremely hilarious, but you'd also think the Dodgers could go to Little Tokyo and wave money at someone who works at the Kinokuniya.

Much as I think we'd love to point fingers at Well He Should Have A Better Interpreter, journalism, especially sports journalism, double especially social media based sports journalism, doesn't exactly need a language barrier to take someone wildly out of context.

Like why would you accept a couple dumb signed items even if they're pressuring you that they won't authenticate?

I can't imagine not rather just having the ball, it's on video plus you can point out how lovely they were about it if you feel like it.

Good lord what kind of mickey mouse operation..


Some context here: he initially called it a foul ball, the Tigers challenged it, and he changed his call to "swing". You'll also note the catcher interference that wasn't called. Oh and the bases were loaded.
