still annoyed by how bad this looks

mike trout batting with the hall of fame weekend hat as a helmet. there's a big circle in the middle, with a red dot in the center

grayson rodriguez with the same hat; it looks very jagged on the less smooth material

rodriguez again but now from the standard behind home plate camera angle

the angels hall of fame weekend hat is maybe the ugliest thing ever worn on a big league diamond

sinker comps for mcdonald's sinker from the last three years on alex chamberlain's tableau. all three webb and roupp years make the top 20

i really appreciate that the ejection notice in gameday specifies *interim* manager, as insult to injury

Ejection
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy ejected by 2B umpire Vic Carapazza.

first polymarket ad i've seen in gameday; seems like they're using live data to try to get people who are already following games to bet as the atl-sd is currently tied in the ninth

gameday website with polymarket banner ad showing atl at 51% and sd at 49%

i still remember aimlessly scrolling twitter during roupp’s spring training breakout and seeing this

Landen Roupp’s twitter likes featuring an Andrew Tate tweet that reads “Do not fail your bloodline.”

i pre wrote 80% of bsb on this premise (and it's paying off so far)

here's where the ball bounced on three of the first five stolen base attempts against jesus rodriguez. he also dropped the pitch on another one, and still bounced one more

i see we've reached this stage of the giants' season

eldridge has a 28% chase rate and 18% walk rate this spring but needs to lay off more pitches his replacement will be matos (37% chase & 2% walk rates this spring, -1.4 war/593 pa), encarnacion (36% chase, 0% bb, -0.1 war/256 pa), or bericoto (40% chase, 2.5% bb, no mlb, .478 ops in 46 AAA PA)

Tweet from Justice delos Santos:

Tony Vitello said Bryce Eldridge said he took being optioned "like a pro."

When Vitello was asked what he'd like Eldridge to accomplish in Sacramento, Vitello said he wants Eldridge to be "dangerous at the plate." That's not just HRs, but laying off pitches out of the zone.

i love spring training

this is all-time levels of coach speak. a complete lack of information or commitment to even just complimenting a player

Tweet from Matt George:

Doug Christie on if Dylan Cardwell will play now that Domantas Sabonis is back:

“Listen, Dylan affects winning”

lmao the ringer’s end of year sports moments list used a photo of the wrong carlos alcaraz (and it’s been up for over a day now)

Webpage with the title “The Ringer’s 52 Favorite Sports Moments of 2025” with a background collage of players, featuring footballer Carlos Alcaraz instead of the tennis player

Josiah Gray has one of my favorite player pages in that he is absolutely terrible every year but within a very small range of badness, such that they keep him around
