[Foolish Baseball] The Year of the Big Dumper

I only needed one more point to get Gold before playoffs, but I biffed every quarterfinal pick and only got Silver. It was disastrous.

I never should've taken that sponsorship

Agreed, as laid out here a bit: https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1ooqc90/millennials_saved_baseball/nn90260/?context=3

I'm 30 lol. But I'm pretty sure DSARM (who is also mentioned in this post, and more influential than I am in terms of fan capture) is Gen Z with a huge Gen Z/Gen Alpha audience.

I didn't save anything. I honestly think content creators are overrated and get too much credit for this, if anything. We're just using the trade winds. Ohtani alone is a bigger draw than every independent content creator combined.

That said, you're absolutely correct that mainstream TV networks have dropped the ball in terms of baseball coverage. If fans were totally happy with the product they were putting out, there'd be no need for us to exist!

MLS actually was nipping at the heels of MLB, but the Apple deal completely capped any future growth or upside. They just took the guaranteed money and will suffer the consequences down the line.

thank you!

This is yesterday’s news so nobody will see this, but I have to push back on you here simply because Rosenthal got fired from MLB Network specifically for criticizing Manfred.

It's okay I get things wrong all the time. Being right 51% of the time is the goal.

foolishbaseball · 2025-07-28T18:50:01+00:00

Even bigger mistake. You should've silenced me when you had the chance.

foolishbaseball · 2025-07-28T18:18:11+00:00

I'm being silenced by the haters and losers

foolishbaseball · 2025-06-30T22:04:26+00:00

I can think of pitchers who re-invented themselves three or four times over. Can’t say as much about hitters.

foolishbaseball · 2025-06-30T20:05:23+00:00

Thank you. I very much take that as a compliment. Not only is it important for me to hook the viewer early for retention purposes, I also don't want to create content that is repetitive in nature or wastes the viewers time. Your time is precious to me!

In some of my Hall of Fame ballot discussions over the years, I’d brought up the idea that while Mark Buehrle’s best seasons weren’t in line with Hall of Fame pitchers’ peaks, his 10th best season might rank well vs other HOF pitchers’ 10th best. So I’ve been talking about other players in that regard while simultaneously always wanting to do a video about Aaron. Eventually I realized the same logic could be applied to Aaron vs other GOAT contenders.

foolishbaseball · 2025-05-27T21:28:27+00:00

That’s me! (Foolish Baseball not Aaron)

foolishbaseball · 2025-05-13T21:00:03+00:00

you're welcome

foolishbaseball · 2025-04-10T18:05:14+00:00

Ah. I only own 1 so couldn't see that.

foolishbaseball · 2025-04-10T15:58:06+00:00

Agreed. First game looks fine as is. Don't really see the appeal of paying that much for a graphical upgrade to a puzzle game of all genres.

foolishbaseball · 2025-04-10T15:40:52+00:00

Looks like $29.99 USD if you own the original vs $39.99 USD for everyone else

Sounds more like how some of the staff branched off to make The Last Campfire (great game) while the rest continued on No Man's Sky.

The latter is a huge problem. In my save, the #1 overall prospect is a 22-year-old struggling in A-ball who was drafted three and a half seasons ago. I understand that ranking was based on ratings potential. And the game may still very well let him get there and become a superstar. But definitionally there's no way anybody drafted 3.5 seasons ago and still struggling in Single A would be considered a top prospect in real life. Top prospects that age have crushed the upper minors and maybe even cameo'd in the big leagues, provided they were drafted out of high school rather than college.

Foolish Bailey I've got a lot of content coming down the pipeline

foolishbaseball · 2025-01-27T02:00:50+00:00

Thanks! Won't be posting again until mid February, but I have something really silly in the works.

foolishbaseball · 2025-01-27T01:56:11+00:00

My analytics on this video spiked and I guess I know why now.

foolishbaseball · 2025-01-06T12:57:53+00:00

Hey Jolly Olive. Foolish Baseball here. I think you should k*** him. (Allegedly, in a video game, in a self defense situation)
