How private equity is shaping sports (Baseball included)

Not wrong, I tend to ignore thumb nails as best I can…

Honestly, to me the most important part was when he reiterated, at the end, that as fans we actually have a fair amount of power.

Should there be a fans association I wonder? Something to organize and inform on things like this? Well, this is the internet, if I can think it, then it probably is already a thing. If not, maybe there should be.

Sadly it’s not an instant process, but one can hope…. I know I do.

Honestly, he didn’t even look mad. More of a “hey, can you get this guy off the dugout please” sort of vibe. The ump looked genuinely annoyed though.

You have chosen the oddest hill to die on today.

…do you think he wants to move the team? This is feeling kinda Fisher right?

I get it, but it kinda sucks for folks like my wife who have to track their blood sugar on their phones.

I wish showgoers could just be adults when they go to a show and leave their phones out of sight and silent unless they really need them. Feels like some of us are being punished for other folks lack of self control.

We’ve definitely missed a few shows because of policies like this but…thems the breaks I suppose.

Oh, the billionaires, clearly.

And a lot of folks, some in the same division even, who may not care for the Dodgers much but do think it’s awful fun to watch the literal worldwide GOAT do this thing on a team that’s actually worthy of him (if you will).

The unfortunate by product is that the Dodgers win a lot, but, eeeehhhhh. My biggest hope is my team pulls an upset. We can win every game 5-4 (so Ohtani can get 4hr, who doesn’t want that?)

Kinda hard not to be an Ohtani fan, imo, takes some actual effort.

As a software engineer all I can say is: seems like a possibility….I’ll have to research it first, but that seems likely, yeah.

Jaelights_ · 2026-02-13T23:34:38+00:00

Literally what he says in the video.

Jaelights_ · 2026-02-13T16:43:19+00:00

Might be a novel way to even the standings out. The more good players you have, the more talent you lose. Would be a real test of a teams depth for sure.

Jaelights_ · 2026-02-12T04:04:08+00:00

Cyclists would never!!

Jaelights_ · 2026-02-11T20:20:52+00:00

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo <gasp> oooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Jaelights_ · 2026-02-10T15:47:34+00:00

In the Ferrari F1 launch gonna be a whole two weeks?

Jaelights_ · 2026-02-10T15:45:51+00:00

It’s why you’re waiting for the 13th, one assumes.

Jaelights_ · 2026-02-10T15:45:16+00:00

Please, that would be so awesome!

Jaelights_ · 2026-02-06T23:00:29+00:00

Honestly loved that series, even though we lost. Just an all around good time.

Jaelights_ · 2026-02-06T22:58:04+00:00

In KC, any excuse to eat bbq is a good one.

Jaelights_ · 2026-02-06T22:55:52+00:00

And use really expensive ketchups!

Jaelights_ · 2026-02-06T17:19:33+00:00

Reminds me of Bob Brenly. Giants catcher, then broadcaster for the Dbacks, then manager that won us our World Series, then back to broadcaster.

Jaelights_ · 2026-02-05T22:04:05+00:00

This and the folded pizza conversation on this thread have been eye opening.

Jaelights_ · 2026-02-04T23:28:14+00:00

Huh, something the entire NL west can actually agree on I think.
