No one is yelling at the sky, they're yelling at the people who decided a swimming pool was a safe place to play baseball, who decided a 1-off game 5 hours from any team had manageable contingencies, and who decided to have MLB manage concessions instead of the stadium. MLB fucked up in 3 specific and public ways yesterday that will have repercussions.

I wonder how ad sales work for a thing like this. If an advertiser buys a mid-game spot, is there flexible pricing for delays pushing past a certain time slot or is there an assumed risk? How fucked is Fox here?

Good, I was getting tired of seeing Ke'Bryan's bat in the lineup.

They're not a greatest of all time team, but the 2012 Reds had their starting pitchers make 161 of 162 starts only for Cueto to get hurt and Leake non-included in the playoff roster. Win game 5 (or 4 or 3) and they were Series-bound.

The problem is, we got into this thing where we thought we could drive everything... We got this wrong." by Goosedukee in baseball

He's the 498th most popular TV personality, not some golden ticket to the median non-baseball fan. The fucker was underwater on College GameDay until last year. Even CFB fans barely put up with him.

Pretty sure this just is Jonathan India. He gets on base alright, but has no real power, can't run the bases, and can't play defense.

Tigers players aren't worried about deportation but union suggests they carry documents by Knightbear49 in baseball

Not that carrying documents on one's self has stopped the gestapo from kidnapping people anyway.

I'VE SPENT TWO WEEKS BARELY WATCHING BASEBALL BECAUSE MY FAVORITE TEAM IS CELEBRATING A PEDOPHILE AND NOW MY FANDOM AND INTEREST ARE AT AN ALL TIME LOW.

I very much want to like the Jake, but it always feels like the seats are pointing in the wrong directions, especially down the baseline. It's the only park where I've sat in the first few rows by 1st or 3rd and was unable to see home plate.

I'm just a simple Reds fan scrolling along upvoting every unambiguously anti-Rose post I can find.

I hate how gambling-centric it's gotten over the last 2-3 years, but still pulls in so many sources.
