I don't want to quote someone just to dunk on them, but this is the most deranged sports take I've heard in a while. This can't possibly be how Astros fans see it, right? First, they CHOSE to cheat. They developed a cheating system and got caught, then never apologized or had any real consequences.
I just arranged my CD collection alphabetically by album title, not by artist. If I want to listen to Nirvana, I search under 'I" for In Utero. I recognize this is one of the most deranged ways to sort music, but I have a good reason! Big announcement coming soon...
The Angels fired Minasian two days after The Athletic published the anonymous player poll in which the org got trashed and portrayed as clueless. I don't think it's a coincidence. www.nytimes.com/athletic/738...

Hell yeah I just went 80-2, think you can go 82-0? Play 82-0: www.82-0.com/share?id=Q0k...
I learn something new about baseball every day. Today I learned that 15-1 is a tied score.
I only own two jerseys. That one and the Birmingham (UK) Metalheads.
Today's @mlbguessr.bsky.social was much harder than yesterday's. The first one is a mea culpa to Blue Jays fans for yesterday's first picture.
You know how everything is terrible all the time? Well, this isn't! @michaelclair.bsky.social wrote an ass kicking book that encapsulates everything we love about baseball and the WBC in particular. You should get it.
Of fucking course a charter school would advertise a teaching position with no experience required. What a grift.
That makes sense, but the org that did this doesn't get a lot of benefit of the doubt on pitching development:
What if there was only one Cub wearing multiple disguises and we never realized it
Aliens have invaded to play a seven-game baseball series for the conquest of Earth, Space Jam style. The 26-man roster to defend the planet could include five Dodgers, and Tucker, Betts, Sasaki, and Snell aren't on it. (Don't argue picks; the point is that the Dodgers are stacked.)
Hey José. After looking into it further, you're right to question it. The Mexican League is its own league and it's the top league in the nation, so I believe I was wrong to call it indy ball. I said that because of its designation on BRef but I really should've just said Mexican League. Good catch!
