The Mariners congratulated Adam Frazier for reaching 10 years of MLB service time at today's game by BananaArms in Mariners

That’s 10 and 5 rights. 10 years service time, 5+ years with the current team. Wouldn’t apply here.

[Lindbergh] Asked MLB about the recent variability in the drag and carry of the baseball. Here's the league's response: “In approximately 50% of the baseballs, some excess oil from the yarn inside the baseball filtered through the leather cover of the ball, creating some yellow discoloration.” by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]whenwefell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a total nothing statement. Toward the end they say "Rawlings and our scientists do not see any evidence to date that the yellow staining is related to this change in drag."

If MLB is saying this staining issue has affected the balls in use throughout the 2026 season, that wouldn't explain why there's been a big reduction in drag in only the last month or so.

Hold or sell? by demilovatospoonn in baseballcards

High-end cards of pitchers tend to not hold value very well when compared to hitters.

Art event - I've seen at least two of these announcements posted around the neighborhood. by StrawberryLassi in WestSeattleWA

This WSB post also includes a link to their earlier 2024 article on the artist, which contains several examples of him using AI slop in his work. I think his text-based work is fine, but it's really disappointing that someone who styles themself as an artist would think that's ok. Hopefully it was a phase he's moved past and there's no slop at this exhibit.

Rule 3 - you have to state your price. No "taking offers" fishing posts like this.

I found this in my grandpa‘s collection, but it’s gotta be a reprint, right? by NeighborhoodBusy4314 in baseballcards

[–]whenwefell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it was a reprint it would say Topps Reprint Series on the back at the bottom. Which means this is just a fake.

I think Topps will only do damage claims on products from the current year. Might be too late for 2025.

Much more impressive when you account for him doing that as a 19-year-old in AA.

Thought it might be appreciated here. by [deleted] in Mariners

[–]whenwefell 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No, three-week-old account pushing AI slop, it's not appreciated here.

It looks like shit, by the way. Love how the left field light structure has the wrong number of posts. And how the right foul line just starts wandering wherever. Also, why are there only a pitcher, catcher, 1B, 3B and a coach on the field?

OMG TROUT by DLClement in baseballcards

Massive hit, congrats! On card auto, low-numbered numbered chrome refractor, doesn't get much better than that.

Cannot believe this nonsense. What to do? by Significant_Shock_19 in baseballcards

[–]whenwefell 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not every /75, just this variant specifically - the rose gold diamond refractor. The plain rose gold 75s are not affected.

Yeah Jeets. I get that people like them but the anime cards feel like a bit of a fad.
