Anyone else having a PTSD* flashback to a certain baseball announcer who was obsessed with how names spelled backwards would be pronounced? *Past Tedious Sportscaster Dumbness

Reminding my friends with all the love in my heart that nothing today is real until Jeff Passan says it
A take on AI for research that may be obvious: If you are doing something that has not been done before, it's never going to figure that out.
Looking forward to Taylor Ward proving to me that something good can come out of Dayton, Ohio despite decades of evidence to the contrary
I don't go here (baseball, mostly, don't have a rooting interest), but I do go here (supporting workers, giving owners with middle fingers).
Infield Fly Girl@infieldflygrl.online · 3d agoRemember, MLB wants you to be mad at the Dodgers for getting all the good players so you'll support a lockout and a salary cap that only benefits the owners of clubs that didn't want to pay the money YOU spend on baseball for players to play on YOUR team
The owners have colluded before and experienced almost no adverse consequences, there's absolutely no reason to believe they're not doing it now
Sadly Rutschman@flannelgoddess.bsky.social · 3d agoNot to be a conspiracy theorist but there’s part of me that thinks the owners are colluding to give the Dodgers what they want so that they can force a salary cap

Finally, a Dodgers Take that lines up with the opinion of New Yorkers Of A Certain Age (and their offspring)
Infield Fly Girl@infieldflygrl.online · 3d agoTruly, fuck the Dodgers, but fuck the Dodgers for leaving Brooklyn, not for paying for a pitcher in prospects just so they wouldn't have to face him in the world series

TRIVIA NIGHT! we've swept the first two rounds so far 👀
Highly recommend making your Dream Guardian look like the haggard, Future-Self version of Tav for a new, interesting (kind of fucked up) dynamic
the thing is you're not committed to welcoming fans from every background if you don't punish the player loudly saying she absolutely does not welcome fans from every background.
Tony East@tonyreast.bsky.social · 2w agoFever statement after Sophie Cunningham’s comments: “Our players are thoughtful adults with their own perspectives and voices, and those views are their own. We are committed to welcoming fans from every background and treating everyone with respect, and that’s what guides us as an organization.”
