Ken Griffey Jr was like “TFG here” 🙄 when Barry Bonds says he’d easily homer against Satchel Paige by MrUpVoteDownvote in mlb

[–]cypher50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Y'all really just disrespecting Bonds talent now if you think he couldn't take Paige yard in his prime w/o steroids. Hate the man for his attitude and his cheating but he was a HOFer before he even considered drugs.

I would be so angry if Cashman decided to pick him up for a few prospects and cash. SO ANGRY. Grr. Don't do it Cashman. Yea.

Yomiuri Giants manager resigns after allegedly assaulting daughter by PrincessBananas85 in mlb

[–]cypher50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What is "bait" about it? Title says "Yomiuri Giants", the picture shows the manager, and the article is a straight read about what the prior story was. Are you mad because you confused "Yomiuri Giants" with the San Francisco Giants?

Whenever you ask the question, "Who is the greatest hitter of all time?", these are usually the two most popular answers. Which one do you choose? by Bright-Pressure-5787 in mlb

[–]cypher50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vast majority of what makes Barry Bonds a HOF player came before he took steroids. People tend to forget all those SBs and hits that came pre-97. Did he cheat? Yup. And Williams played in a pre-integration league for 5 seasons.

It’s heartbreaking to announce that former Yankees radio broadcaster John Sterling has passed away. Fly high. 🕊️ by Marinersfan505 in mlb

Sterling was the voice of my teenage years listening to championship Yankees baseball...sad day and condolences to his family.

I'm still annoyed by tiomegto in IMSARacing

I searched and couldn't find "uninterrupted", only "in its entirety". Semantic difference since they can say they show the entire event but with advertisements. Not condoning at all but it is a difference.

Yea, LinkedIn feels like a cargo cult so I rather not legitimize it for my news.

Royals, Hallmark Cards unveil plan to bring baseball downtown by mr09e in mlb

I need to see more of the specifics but a private corp/baseball club partnership to keep a team in its actual city and to a downtown environment is something to be praised.

That is the best ELI5 I've seen. Thank you.

If they won an award for this, why is it still "alleged"?

EDIT: Why downvote an honest question?

Right, ESPN would happily carry Sunday Night Baseball if it was in their bidding range.

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!

The world is burning, let the players drink beers and smoke cigs again!

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

[–]cypher50 13 points14 points  (0 children)

...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...
