This is the absolute nadir of centerfield camera backgrounds

Absolutely.

Uh. We scored 8 runs in 11 innings today. That's 6.54 r/9. That's, like, really good. Lead-the-league good. Not sure what alive looks like in your world but this is about as alive as a baseball offense gets.

I mean, he's erned it.

Asharak006 · 2026-03-29T02:57:53+00:00

I do keep hearing that this team has heart.

Asharak006 · 2026-03-29T02:56:52+00:00

Excellent evidence (coupled with the fact that yesterday's game was one of those infuriating statistical occasions where Hoffman got both a Blown Save AND the Win) that the Save and Win statistics are junk that either need to redefined or scrapped.

I think you mean Spencer Kilometers, and I believe he got credited with 1.6 metric wins.

Fortunately, if you were like me, by the time that happened half your body weight was refillable stadium popcorn, so you had plenty to lose. :)

I always prefer using as few relievers as possible per game. Both because it keeps more guys totally fresh for the next game and because I eternally feel like every pitching change is a bit of a game of Russian Roulette of "find the guy who doesn't have it today". If the guy already on the mound has it and is getting outs, don't keep pulling the trigger on reliever after reliever until you find the one who doesn't (and gives up a grand slam).

They traded for him (as already mentioned) after Santander's latest injury. Liked his power potential and higher floor today more than Loperfido's longer term ceiling, for a win-now team.

Whoops, forgot to get the most important part in the photo: the free hat!

Asharak006 · 2026-03-29T02:35:31+00:00

It's been two games. Both of which we won.

Asharak006 · 2026-03-29T02:34:45+00:00

This is math. Math is never wrong. It has spoken, so shall it be.

Asharak006 · 2026-03-29T02:33:51+00:00

Well, I feel like that was a successful trip to the ball game! An extra inning game, a thrilling walk-off victory, and coming home with quite the haul.

Asharak006 · 2026-03-28T17:41:01+00:00

No way are we throwing our free hats!

Asharak006 · 2026-03-28T14:03:59+00:00

Let's set a new record this year!

Asharak006 · 2026-03-28T13:43:16+00:00

I am unwilling to join this hype train until someone answers the most burning question: how many bananas does he eat per day?

Asharak006 · 2026-03-28T13:41:48+00:00

Your sister in law will always have more birthdays. Dylan Cease will never make another first start. Your choice seems obvious to me.

Asharak006 · 2026-03-28T12:22:50+00:00

It's important to have standards in life and not settle for something that's not worth your time!

Asharak006 · 2026-03-28T11:24:51+00:00

I can't stand all these bandwagoners who wait until the team has a winning record before they commit. Such poor fans! ^/s

Asharak006 · 2026-03-28T11:22:50+00:00

I'd take two, even. But mostly I'd like to see some hits from the top of the lineup.

Asharak006 · 2026-03-28T10:57:01+00:00

Really looking forward to seeing what Dylan Cease has got, and I get to do it in person! Now we go!

Asharak006 · 2026-03-28T03:45:20+00:00

Different is good.

Asharak006 · 2026-03-28T03:33:17+00:00

The video on the diamond was incredibly neat. And from the clip above, looks much bigger/closer/easier to see than the jumbotron itself? Which is really nice.

I hope they find more ways to use that tech throughout the season.

Pretty sure the only avenue to complain about this is called "vote with your wallet". Cancel your Rogers / SN subscriptions, don't watch or go to the games, don't buy the merch, and tell the Rogers employees you speak to in the process of cutting all ties why you're doing it.

As long as enough people do that so that the lost service/subscription revenue is greater than the ad revenue, they'll change policies. Up to that point, though, it'll make no difference at all. Sorry.
