Love that I can't watch an out of market game because it's an Apple Tv+ exclusive. Very cool, this will surely help grow the sport.

On the flip side this is one of the few Nats games I’ll get to watch on TV all season :negative:

Get rid of divisions and redo the leagues geographically. Rivalries with your closest teams, especially in NY/LA/Chi would be much more fun if you regularly met in the playoffs and not in the absolutely rare subway series.

revisiting this, these jerseys are really a mess but I do think the font is good and they should slap that font on their normal jersey after they burn these

Yeah the font is awesome. They went too far with the sleeves.

I believe the Lerners want to sell. From what I’ve heard, they were all in on getting a WS for family patriarch Ted before he died and now that they have a ring they’re shopping the team. I really hoped they’d keep Soto. It’ll suck to see him on another team. At least Scherzer is probably going in the Hall as a National.

That’s what happens when you get athletes who spend their entire careers researching random rear end ways to help themselves and then swearing by the results. Matt Carpenter sleeps next to sod and walks barefoot through grass because he thinks it gives him earth energy or something. These dudes are gonna believe god knows what about the vaccine.

Like that dumbass fad in the late aughts of players wearing those metal necklaces that were supposed to balance your magnetic field or whatever. Wasn’t Beckett one of those guys?

Nobody forced him to extend with the Angels. He could of done his time and gotten out to dodge to a team that wants to win if that was important to him.

Starting the conspiracy theory he jumped on the Angels’ extension because he’s known about his back condition and it’s only just now rearing its head.

I roll my eyes at the Field of Dreams game, but will be hooting and hollering when they introduce a Sandlot game in a decade. Or if they go full gimmick and like put a Padres game on an aircraft carrier.

If Pujols falls a couple shy of 700 the Cards have to give him another one year deal, right? They’d get crucified for saying no.

As an avowed Yankee hater, I actually do feel bad for Arod being that close to 700 and getting dropped with a couple months to go in the season. He would have made it. The Yankees did him dirty.

New walk-up music rule is such a buzzkill move. And the pitch clock will let us enjoy shorter games for a while until MLB starts padding commercial break lengths.

e: ^^^ fast cars had it a few posts up:

• The length of batter walk-up music cannot exceed 10 seconds


I thought teams were going to get control of their streaming rights last year or this year. RSNs causing blackouts sucks and I was hoping to be able to buy a plan, even if just for the Nats or O’s, to finally watch games. I guess that was naive and if my memory is even correct teams probably just immediately packaged the rights to the RSNs.

Yeah Nomar is the first guy I remember readjusting between pitches and I’d say it was pretty widespread ~2007. I’m hesitantly optimistic about the pitch clock, but I wouldn’t say it’s addressing a recent issue that players failed to take into their own hands.

I can’t remember if it was balwfuls or someone else who posted charts months ago, but I feel like batters redoing all their poo poo has actually eased up from the days of the 5-hour Yankees-Red Sox games.

To be clear, that wasn’t a complaint. The joke is hilarious and the Angels officially banning reference to it because they’re so fed up would be even funnier.
