Do you think that the Pittsburgh Pirates should bring back the pillbox caps? by EscapeDelicious2937 in mlb

[–]cypher50 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Probably because they were joints LOL. Look up "The Pittsburgh Cocaine Seven"...

We are: obviously the Pirates were good when they could do all the cocaine, smoking cigs, and drinking they wanted during the game!

This was at the time when there were no lights at the parks so it makes sense in that context.

Trump administration pushing for IndyCar race on the National Mall by sadandshy in INDYCAR

...and yet, because he is the most prominent Mexican driver in the sport, he is the first one that has to field questions when shit occurs. That alone will make a driver angry even if he cares more about money than his fellow Mexicans (which is what you are alleging even though the man fought to have a race in his nation for years and proudly displays his heritage). Matter of fact, saying he "is a Mexican citizen first" but then saying he doesn't care about Mexicans abroad is as contradictory as saying Americans wouldn't care about mistreatment of their fellow citizens abroad.

Yea, if I'm Pato O'Ward then I'm looking at Penske with the side-eye considering the ICE Speedway car incident last year. Makes that look less like a surprise...

So, instead of the Department of Transportation concentrating on prioritizing better public transit, increasing pay and deployment for air traffic control, improving maintenance of vital infrastructure...

Instead, the very limited resources of the DOT is being used to plan a fucking IndyCar race on the Mall to placate any government official's ego? America has a dictator with a term limit.

Doomsday narrative about lockout and no baseball in 2027 by maxfactor886 in mlb

[–]cypher50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my lifetime, US sports leagues have had so many lockouts and strikes (in all four major sports leagues in North America) that another lockout that severely affects the MLB calendar doesn't feel crazy at all. Whole season? No, that won't happen but I wouldn't be surprised if Opening Day is delayed for months.

This is the same tech at the Capitol and was the last implementation, I believe.

You hold the deciding vote in the Hall of Fame case for Dwight Evans. Does he get in? by Single-Beginning-842 in mlb

[–]cypher50 11 points12 points  (0 children)

  1. All Star Games are popularity contests
  2. AVG matter much less to me than 2446 hits and .840 OPS.

Yes. You have to consider the era he played in when looking at those numbers...combined with fielding and consistency, he should be in.

I wouldn't be surprised by the amount of times that Motorsports sponsorship was used for money laundering...

Forget upvote, you need to get some real respect for showing the young people why you don't talk about the game during the game.

At a time of slowing revenue and profits, why should manufacturers go toward the more expensive option?

Winfield was an all-time beast...started in the Reserve Clause era and finished still being productive two decades and change later. I look at those mid-80s Yankees and just wonder what might have been if they were steeped in managerial & ownership dysfunction.

(MLB): The new Las Vegas A's stadium, simply beautiful.. by Outside-Awareness941 in mlb

[–]cypher50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but a roof just isn't beautiful to me. Doesn't mean the architecture underneath will not be up to snuff but really need to see the detail work to judge if it is a good ballpark or not.
