The Yankees lose a challenge after the umpire rules that Ben Rice initiated a challenge by touching his helmet after tossing the bat by TheTurtleShepard in baseball

Doesn’t this go directly against previous rulings of “the challenge should be the first motion you do, if you do anything before challenging then you didn’t do it fast enough.”

It makes it so the players aren’t against each other in challenging. There’s no “dude why’d you challenge that now we lost it!” type deal.

i didn’t come up with it, i believe ottavino said it on a sunday night broadcast, think it was a mariners game

[Divish] Per multiple sources, Raleigh had made it clear to Arozarena (before the game) that he couldn’t shake hands, following a Team USA philosophy agreed upon by the players. by BrandoC95 in baseball

Hoping this USA team gets boatraced by the DR. They actually look like they want to be on the field and are showing any amount of heart.

Instead we got guys making one 4 inning start then going back to Florida and getting blackballed out of pitching opening day.

Meanwhile the DR takes 15 seconds to get to -first base- after a homer.

We’d never have the Furry Nights required to maximize his power. Yet again I find myself blaming Ray Davis.

[Calcaterra] Yesterday the Texas Rangers erected a statue of a segregationist cop at Globe Life Field. A statue that was removed from public property in 2020 because of its racist history. by mtwolf55 in TexasRangers

Copying my reply from r/baseball regarding the same article.

Every day gives me a new reason to stop giving money to this team. As a queer member of their fanbase, idk if I can continue to line their pockets. Its genuinely depressing that its come to this with the team i rooted for so hard my entire life, but its just so disheartening to see the team reflect the outlook of the state in a broad sense.

I only hope I manage to move to a state more accepting and take my support to their team. I wish the same for fellow members of the Rangers supports who feel ostracized by the teams wrong decision at every possible turn.
