Total Dipshit Fans Think Pop-Up Fly Ball Going To Be Home Run

Total Dipshit Fans Think Pop-Up Fly Ball Going To Be Home Run

Today’s homepage tells a story—in honor of Jackie Robinson Day, today’s homepage headshots are the first 12 players to break the AL/NL color barrier, in order.

Basically like saying, “through week 1, all NFL teams are within a game of each other. Amazing.”

Closest we got. Sorry.

Tony Fernández with the Toronto Blue Jays

.280 hitter, 2000+ hits, 50%+ games at short, 4x Gold Glover

One of these guys was just bio #300. Whew.

It's time

When we tried to do a Blue Jays podcast. Blue Jays had a better 2015 season than we did.

We did have a point about Leiper looking like Alfredsson!

147 Boots Poffenberger Podcast Episode · Sean and Eds Do Baseball · April 8 · 59m

BOOTS!!!!

New Episode on Cletus “Boots” Poffenberger one of the most interesting, surly pitchers of the 1930’s. A can’t miss prospect that definitely missed due to his addiction to alcohol and marching to his own drum! He may not have been that good anyway.

Crust game is elite!

Jo Adell in the stands holding up his third home run robbery

One of the coolest baseball pics

Saw Face to Face back in 2003, great band but the reason we went was our friend Jamie was excited for the opening act, My Chemical Romance

He has risen! (and hit another dinger for the Bisons)

Seems simple enough!

Hope his dream wasn’t to be an artist…or a grammar person…..

In all honesty tho if you dissect this image he’s batting lefty and taking a high pitch for a ball which is advanced thinking for a 10-year old! Ever since moneyball every kid dreams of leading the league in walks!

New 350-win milestone alert…

Mexican southpaw Mercedes Esquer was briefly a Blue Jays farmhand. Despite playing in the minors for parts of 5 seasons, he pitched 27 seasons in the Mexican League and 24 in the winter league.

LMB: 217
LMP: 115
Mex Minors: 17
US Minors: 7
Carib Ser: 1

Total: 357 Wins

Utah must be stopped!

just looked this up and George gets a job with the Yanks 16 years after they last won a World Series. Yanks are currently 17 years removed from their most recent.

146 Eddie Collins Podcast Episode · Sean and Eds Do Baseball · March 25 · 51m

ABS is a lot of fun! It’s going to get more strategic as teams dig into the early outcomes.

Eddie Collins would have loved it as he was a self-important, cocky, smartass! He walked 3x more than he K’d. We imagine he would have lead the league in challenges!

146 Eddie Collins Podcast Episode · Sean and Eds Do Baseball · March 25 · 51m

New Episode on HOF’er Eddie Collins!

We don’t cover HOF’er too much but Collins was something else. Educated, oddly superstitious and cocky AF. Collins played the game like a madman and made very few friends along the way - which may have saved him from scandal!

Here's how old I am: I feel dismayed that the Opening Day matchup of Major League Baseball will feature an American League team versus a National League team.

Glen Perkins: "You ever seen Buck with his pants down?"

[whispers: you know, even if ABS was available, it's possible the team would have exhausted their challenges..]

Skenes has only had the bases loaded on him 12 times in his career. Batters are 0-for-12.

Our first pure stadium history episode - other than our episode on a tragic stadium disaster. It was very interesting to research!

145 Sulphur Dell Podcast Episode · Sean and Eds Do Baseball · March 11 · 1h 6m

This week we released a new episode on Sulphur Dell, an infamous stadium that was at the center of baseball history in Nashville for 100 years. Umpire controversies, contested pennants, blinding sunsets and eventually a steep hill in RF, Sulphur Dell had it all!
