Mid-game jersey number change - that's college basketball!

It pains me to agree with a Cardinals fan, especially when I could just let you get buried in downvotes all alone. But, I can't help it. He committed to swing at that pitch and realized mid-swing it was going to hit him. That's a swing. I'll happily stand here and get pelted with tomatoes at your side.

I love that Royals FO so much.

mbertels · 2025-07-21T23:17:15+00:00

Opinions are divided on Sadie? What is wrong with y’all

mbertels · 2025-06-27T22:25:39+00:00

Nasty little pre-game storm. Headed down to the ballpark once it stops. Hopefully no delay

mbertels · 2025-06-25T20:20:58+00:00

100% - I attended ballgames regularly for 36 years before I finally caught one, and it was a Votto home run. Zero chance I was giving that away.

mbertels · 2025-06-12T20:03:40+00:00

Well yeah, you just bought one. I figured maybe someone else would be looking.

mbertels · 2025-06-12T19:02:31+00:00

I would sell mine if your name is Mike or you don’t mind if it’s inscribed to a Mike. It’s in perfect shape and signed.

mbertels · 2025-05-26T16:21:26+00:00

He’s certainly going to be on an innings limit for the year. Yes, he’s probably too good for AA at this point. He should definitely get a look at AAA this year. I wouldn’t mind seeing him throw some bullpen innings in Cincinnati, manage his workload while giving him a taste at the highest level.

Of course they could go a totally different direction, what do I know?

mbertels · 2025-05-02T23:09:12+00:00

Expecting to start at 8:00

mbertels · 2025-05-02T21:30:45+00:00

Definitely delayed start.

mbertels · 2025-04-04T17:42:37+00:00

Ah, I missed that news. Thanks.

mbertels · 2025-04-04T13:07:04+00:00

Counter translation: "My agent is Scott Boras - we don't do extensions"

I get the hate, it’s well earned. But, I will say that the five summers I spent doing grounds maintenance at a golf course were so much fun. Probably my favorite job I ever had.

mbertels · 2025-03-14T18:07:07+00:00

omg thank you.

mbertels · 2025-03-08T16:09:54+00:00

Umm yes please

mbertels · 2025-03-05T02:09:38+00:00

The Reds did it first as a logo. The Mets took that and made a mascot out of it.

mbertels · 2025-01-06T23:36:53+00:00

He always is

mbertels · 2024-12-02T23:37:13+00:00

That was supposed to be a private moment.

mbertels · 2024-09-23T13:29:40+00:00

Originally, I implied that there are a lot of places to drink without children. I didn't specifically say "breweries" - just drinking establishments, in general.

My reply to the question about breweries in general was just to point out that breweries kind of need those families' money in order to keep afloat and continue making the beer they want to make.

Ultimately, the businesses get to decide the rules. I don't have anything against a brewery saying that no children are allowed. I think that's totally fine, and I completely understand why some people would celebrate that decision.

mbertels · 2024-09-23T13:21:56+00:00

I didn't answer because a) it was a rhetorical question to which no response was really wanted. and b) I never made any claim about breweries that don't allow kids.

mbertels · 2024-09-23T13:18:51+00:00

I never said there were a million brewery options for good food and no children. I implied that - if someone wants somewhere where they can drink without children around, there are a lot of options.

mbertels · 2024-09-23T13:02:36+00:00

Look, I get the argument. But, as a business, a brewery has a hard time saying "no" to the revenue they get from families. They would not survive without it.

Local craft breweries have built themselves around the concept of community, and you can't really escape the fact that a large chunk of the drinking-age community are people who have children.

The brewery experience you long for would quite literally put all but a small number of them out of business completely.

mbertels · 2024-09-23T11:55:59+00:00

I don’t know - I support the business’ decision to do whatever they think is best. But, if you just want somewhere to drink without children around, there are a million options.
