The demise of sports broadcasting will be (already is, in many ways) people making decisions about broadcasting who have no clue what broadcasting takes or needs or deserves. Sad, short-sighted, idiotic stuff from these decisionmakers.

Future generations will never be able to appreciate how much better the world was before the advent of "is this real or this AI" in the mental process of every single goddamn day.
buddy i have never used it. i don't know how to use it. i don't know if it's an app or what. i will never use it. if it disappeared today i'd go out and celebrate because it being gone would be instantly great for the planet and humanity

It is a perfect bullpen jacket temperature out right now. Truly an elite weather space.
It's looking like I may be asked to take the overnight assignment when the baby comes, so I'm staying up a little later each night. Getting myself stretched out like we're in the third week or so of spring training.
Seems like this is as close as we’re gonna get to a Colorado summer-night-with-a-hoodie night, so I’m going for it even though it’s still too warm.
Somewhere out there is a person or people who came up with Liberty Biberty and is probably getting paid a good amount of money to have done it, so never think you are too dumb or terrible for anything.

As I try to communicate around this time of year every year to MLB GMs calling me: @samdykstramilb.bsky.social is a core member of The Show Before The Show podcast, and we're not looking to move him. You're REALLY going to have to blow our socks off to get him.
So that’s the thing to know, if you’re a tabloid that’s going to name-check me in another round of transphobic shit about Bluesky discourse. I don’t stand with you. I stand with my trans friends and family members. ⏹️
I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

It does feel a lot in recent years that the New York Yankees have forgotten that they’re supposed to be The New York Yankees.

"If this is a medical emergency, please hang up and dial 911." Damn, I thought the Walgreens pharmacy was definitely the number to dial in a medical emergency. Thanks for the heads up, private equity company.
Pretty amazing that Gianni Infantino kicked off this week with, "You all missed a great World Cup being so mean to my friend Donald Trump!!!11!1! Haters!!!!1!" and somehow managed to make the week immeasurably worse from there. Sort of impressive!

I know we have far bigger fish to fry in this society, but it is truly a criminal act that Detroiters only got two seasons.
Texted an inside joke to the rarely used group chat of my wife and my mother and father-in-law. Will we be an inside joke group chat kind of family soon?! We shall see indeed.
I feel like Carlos Baerga was one of those guys who was always really good at bundling up for October baseball. Good deep postseason stuff.

I’m listening to Howard Bryant’s “Kings and Pawns” right now on audiobook, and of course it’s brilliant because it’s Howard Bryant. That pretty much goes without saying. But I am fairly certain that the narrator is an AI version of an award-winning VO artist. Super disappointing.
