They're blaring Korn and Rob Zombie to a dead crowd to get a lifeless team fired up, Rico Fata is gonna climb over the boards next

That's right

FWIW, my data show no intentional changes to the baseball during that period. (Sorry… 🤷🏼‍♀️)

'Your life is over, bitch' MLB decided against suspending a former baseball star accused of choking his ex-fiancée. She says the league's choice enabled his continued abuse

Olivia Finestead said she recorded this call a month after MLB completed its investigation. The voice she insists is Clevinger's tells her she's a "fucking prostitute" and says he's "coming for" her child.

She told a judge she had this footage. Also the cops.

And in 2023, she said she told MLB.

MLB juiced the balls from 1998-2001 to up attendance after the strike and then blamed it on the players for taking steroids

if you hire mike mccarthy because you don't think your football team needs to rebuild and you go into the draft with will howard as your QB1, you're one of the worst-run teams in the league.

bunting for a hit there? someone's gonna get a fastball in the numbers for konnor, i think.

There's no way they can make the movie make sense if he's not, IMO, because they've done no character work on Doom.

Do they know how mad people are gonna get about Doom being alternate universe Tony Stark? Clearly they do not.

if they bring barco or harrington up and they get shelled and they're down 7-3 when it rains, everyone's mad about that instead.

they were like 15 minutes away from being up 4-0 after 4.5 and probably the game just getting called at that point.

i'm sure there's some kind of calculus on how early you can push a game where you're expecting a big crowd without having to offer refunds, too

i wondered about that when the announced the delay; is there some kind of rule about when they can start on saturdays? because it's VERY rare for them to start at 12:35 or 1:35 on saturday.

i keep wondering if people will notice that what most teams do since the ghost runner rule became permanent is just put one reliever who can go long out there in the 10th or 11th at the latest and hope no one else has to pitch, but ... nope.

no but, Pirates probably win that game if Skenes goes six, shit happens when it rains

i have long made it a policy that it is not productive to get mad about games with extremely long rain delays

the game has ended with joey bart

the rays were like, "fuck off, we do not care, this game is ending with joey bart one way or another" on that steal attempt

hat tap ejection would count

feel like this game has one extremely stupid turn left in it

i have decided that i am going to be primarily annoyed by jake mangum, i think

yeah, affectionate stupid

this is an extremely stupid baseball game

the francisco liriano trade broke me. and getting a job. but the liriano trade.

i mean it's been ten years since i posted a blog, the era ended a while ago

i did manage to get most of the posts scraped out before it went down

not sure when it happened but the zombie whygavs site finally went offline at some point

it looked pretty clear-cut on the review to me (that he didn't block until he had the ball), i was reacting live

it's applied pretty unevenly on review, basically every play at the plate in a close game seems to get reviewed

the rule is that they're allowed to block if they have the ball, but not without the ball
