A bit off topic but this is like a who’s who of goofy baseball names. Baseball’s missing its quirky first/nick names nowadays
headie_sage@fanaticus.socialMto Baseball@fanaticus.social•MLB’s new ‘Overlap’ hats are going viral for all the wrong reasonsEnglish1·4 months agoMaybe that’s the idea. Like how misprinted baseball cards are worth a ton later on. I can’t imagine anyone would wear these for real

YES is wrapped up in an extra special sports package too so it’s not just a cable bill, it’s their most expensive all-the-channels-included package. Total waste for me.

headie_sage@fanaticus.socialOPMto Baseball@fanaticus.social•MLB, ESPN opt out of TV deal for 2026-28; MLB cites ‘minimal coverage’English2·5 months agoThis means we only have one more year of suffering! Hopefully this doesn’t end with more nationally televised games, spread across a gaggle of streaming apps. I just want to hate watch my Yankees with the regular YES crew in peace.

Didn’t know his stats stacked up so well against other lefty starters already in the hall though. Don’t think we’ll see another 3k strikeout pitcher for a while, if ever.
headie_sage@fanaticus.socialMto Baseball@fanaticus.social•The Los Angeles Dodgers are your 2024 World Series Champions after completing a gentleman's sweep of the New York YankeesEnglish4·8 months agoThe $360M Man forgot that the season continues past 162 if your team keeps winning. Tough to win when you have a 6’7" hole in the 3-hole of your lineup.
Boone lost Game 1, then conceded the rest by staying with a broken lineup. He needs to go. If you can’t have a hard conversation with your highest paid player when he’s not performing, you shouldn’t be managing a major league team.
Congrats Dodgers fans. I hope Ohtani heals up and you get to see him win a Cy Young next year.
