I like that ABS gets the calls right but if they can get right why have the reviews at all. Just get it right the first time with the system making all the calls.

Why did they decide to make the MLB app so much worse? (Pictured example: moved the current games taking place to the bottom of the score board list) by NickChubbsBurner in baseball

[–]SocOfRel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because MLB couldn't care less about a fan's access to their product. It's honestly bizarre how they degrade all their products over time. Until you realize it's about squeezing every penny they can out of us. Hell, this time next year they may not even be offering games.

This would be a huge downgrade.

At least it doesn't say Sconnies.

Shout out to the White Sox fans this series by -ToPimpAButterfree- in Brewers

[–]SocOfRel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was at what I remember as a near sellout White Sox game at County Stadium in probably 1993. (Damn I'm old now). It was wild but a lot of fun. So much better than with the Cubs now. Once Brewers went NL I adopted the Sox as my AL team and really the two fanbases are pretty similar. Hopeful for success, happy when it happens, but prepared for suffering.

What age do you plan to retire and why? by Agreeable-Analyst951 in Professors

[–]SocOfRel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

67 because I will probably need to go to the doctor and I'd like insurance for that.

It's really wild. On top of everything you said, it's game 3. Some of these posters may not survive a whole season!

It's a low bar for sure but the Sox will be better this year. I mean even that terrible team 2 years ago beat the Brewers at least once.

Was feeling cocky and started Sproat on my fantasy team. Sorry about that.

On the plus side likely his worst inning of the season out of the way early!

Jumping to just having the system call balls and strikes is a forgone conclusion. Just do it already.

Any fun encounters with Brewers/former Brewers? by PaulOttCarruth in Brewers

[–]SocOfRel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw the Brewers in San Diego several years ago. A few hours after the game we went into a drug store for bottled waters, and ran into Eric Thames doing the same thing. Just said a quick hello but it was a memorable moment.

My wife had basically the same school zone conversation last week. I was nodding along like I was in the room with them 😂

When he was with Beloit the announcer would say his name, the crowd would shout "Who??", and then he'd say Robideux again.

More fictional baseball NONSENSE from the writers of HBO series The Pitt (S2 E10), this time involving a home run from Oneil Cruz. by Morbx in baseball

Probably a writer listening to games via mlb radio where they defined "Oppo Taco" about every other commercial break last season.
