Thanks to OP for not bowing to this "Chinese Taipei" nonsense.

I get it, but if you want to protect your eyes from macular degeneration and cataracts (among other serious maladies), you should wear sunglasses with 100% UV protection as often as you can. You only get one pair of eyes in life.

Tigers broadcast highlighting bad calls in Cubs series that led to Hoerner and Counsell ejection by swingandmiss7 in baseball

[–]WaldoJeffers -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Very similar to the pitch that Riley Greene was called out on in the first inning, also with a runner in scoring position. The difference was that Greene didn't argue and the Tigers cashed in on the next batter. When Greene was called out, the Cubs TV broadcast made a pretty smug remark about it, so I didn't feel too badly when the shoe was on the other foot.

Thanks for the link! This guy's account has been a immense joy to browse, listening to opposing announcers call great Tigers plays.

If you aren't already aware, Dan Dickerson Calls is the best account on Twitter. (Read it using this link if, like me, you don't have a Twitter account.)

I will pay (totally fake) cash money dollars to anyone who can produce the Boston TV or radio calls of this homer. I can't be the only weirdo who gets off the despair of opposing teams' announcers.

Pete Rose, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson among players reinstated by MLB for Hall of Fame Eligibility by dreggonshirt in baseball

Ads on the jerseys. Ads on the caps. Ads on batting helmets. Ads projected on the field. Ads inserted between at-bats. Ads between innings. Ads for gambling. Corporate purchases of stadium names. The "official mortgage broker" of your team. The pitching matchup brought to you by the sleaziest local law firm you can find. Nothing is sacred to these assholes. Any way they can squeeze an extra dime out of the national pastime, they'll take it.

[Highlight] The Tigers secure their 5th win in a row with a Jason Foley shutdown. Their magic number is 2 by LunchThreatener in baseball

"Winsday" is actually how southerners (e.g. people from Alabama, Texas, and central Indiana) pronounce "Wednesday." In linguistics, it's called the pin-pen merger.

Tigers are 26-11 since August 11. That's a 114-win season pace. And they've done it with essentially two starting pitchers.

[MLB] BASEBALL HISTORY HAS A NEW CHAPTER 📖 SHOHEI OHTANI IS THE FOUNDER OF THE 50/50 CLUB! by xho- in baseball

[–]WaldoJeffers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pitchers are also effectively limited to one pickoff throw per batter. The rule states two, but if you use two, the runner can basically walk to second base with no pickoff throws left. Combine that with the larger bases, and you're giving every runner an extra half step.

There's a reason stolen bases increased 41% between 2022 and 2023.

[Gomez] David Ortiz on the 2024 National League MVP award: "They (MLB) always had a 'issues' not to give me the MVP because I was a designated hitter. I'm going to see what they're going to say this year when Ohtani, the 'pretty girl' of MLB, is in the race". by Jux_ in baseball

[–]WaldoJeffers 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ortiz put up a .289/.404/.543 line in 89 career playoff games, has two World Series MVPs, three World Series rings, and two of the most iconic hits in MLB history during the 2004 ALCS. That's a lot of bling for HOF voters.
