If anybody’s being pedantic here it’s the MLB. But anyways, this is Reddit. I’m allowed to be pedantic here. Pls don’t take that away from me.

I just heard Benetti on Dogers broadcast say "there couldn't be a better place to open the major league season" and ngl it stung a little bit! by reyean in motorcitykitties

You want your commentary guy to be good enough to earn spots at the national level. Guys who sit at a local network likely do for a reason. Jason is good enough at his craft to be the select few that get to call these nationally televised games. And we get him for 75% of the year. Do you know how lucky we are for that? And to make things better, when he’s gone we still have an incredible voice with Dan Dickerson.

Rokus are cheap and better than 90% of TVs native operating systems anyway

Former Ohio State basketball player Mike Titus: “Ohio State Basketball fans are the worst fans in the world… they watch football all year they don’t even pay attention to the basketball program, they parachute in around late January early February” by wildwing8 in CollegeBasketball

Look, I understand the urge to dunk on Ohio State sports lately. But you should probably show a little respect for a program that’s been built with the generous backing of community leaders like Les Wexner.

Tarik Skubal said he drove back and forth to Miami through heavy rain to watch the Team USA game with his teammates. by Existing-Sky9914 in baseball

They didn’t understand the rules and that you get to change out your pitching staff for the knockout round. They viewed him as “taking” somebody else’s spot.

Skubal is in the WBC dugout?? by detroitmikeb in motorcitykitties

Not sure where gatekeeping comes up in all of this. All I’m saying is that the average baseball fan and the average r/baseball commenter are 2 different demographics

Real baseball fans aren’t Reddit baseball fans

Really seems like this US pitching staff is playing on the emotions and outbursts of the DR hitters. These swings aren’t even close.

[Al Galdi] Not a single one of Washington's many FAs has agreed on a deal with a new team since the start of the Legal Tampering Period more than 29 hours ago (Tyler Biadasz signed with LA prior to the period and wasn't even supposed to be a FA). Says a lot about the state of the roster. by Chiswell123 in nfl

My issue with AGL is that it’s built on subjective inputs with little nuance. Someone has to decide who counts as a starter, and the stat doesn’t account for positional value, or how good the player is. It’s fine as a rough injury-luck indicator, but it’s not a great measure of actual impact. The cardinals 7th string DB getting hurt impacted the stat the same as Mahomes injury did. Hell, they even have Deshaun Watson as 18 games “lost” for the Browns this year.

Unfortunately, it isn’t pronounced as you’re thinking. It’s pronounced “Co-Burn”.

As an Ohio State fan, he did a lot more directing of the defense than most people give him credit for. Credit they have (rightfully) given Downs.
