If Jim Maxwell thinks England played 'a very bad game of baseball', what's his verdict on Australia? A very bad game of rounders? Croquet? #Ashes

Switching to Ashes cricket mode. Bonkers first day, and wondering if the Aussie commentators who proclaimed England's batting performance as 'terrible' might have changed their mind. #Ashes

@maxrushden.bsky.social This will never end.

Apparently Anthony Rendon was a 10th-place MVP with the Angels in 2020. #surelybollocks

@grantbrisbee.bsky.social @sammillerbb.bsky.social So Better #1 was Hugh Grant?

It's always amusing when people think pitchers from the 1950s had invincible arms, when the attrition rate was terrible. And it was known at the time, and there were even predictions in the future that have almost come to pass by 2025. (This is from 1959)

Wondering if Frankie Montas is gonna take up his $17m player option for 2026 🤔

I swear no one threw a splitter about five months ago

Step right up and you, too, can strike out a Dodger all-star with a splitter.

12.30am, should probably be dozing off. But... it's Game 6, ffs.

If the Jays win tonight, I might never be told what an Oppo Taco is again 🤞

MLB radio app gives me English and Spanish options for Toronto. No French?

Start the bloody game already #worldseries

Didn't expect to hear a 'rainy night in Stoke' reference during a recap of two World Series games in LA. But @cespedesbbq.bsky.social knows more than one type of ball

Top tip: the Seeing Red Cardinals podcast @seeingredpod.bsky.social is worth listening to just for the theme music alone

FFS IKF

They should strip Dominguez of his Knighthood.

Probably should be asleep as it's 2.45am, but Blue Jays' radio booth won't stop screaming at the top of their lungs.

Haha

Fuck me.

Guardsball! #worldseries #mlb

World Series prediction: Blue Jays in six. #mlb #worldseries

🐐 Happy 45th Birthday to @JoeyBats19!

@maxrushden.bsky.social Thanks for quickly putting an end to me shouting 'Paul McCartney!' at my radio

The admiration, the bat flip, the zoom to Fried 🫡

Will Warren's ERA is currently 36.00

Hahahahaha. #ALDS

If the Yankees homered every time they put the ball in play, they would currently be down by 3.

I swear I remember Max Fried having an absolute mare for the Braves in the postseason a couple of years ago. #MLB

The Mets imploding frees me up for simply enjoying watching the Yankees and Phillies have terrible games.

I've actually got so used to Felix White doing the BBC baseball coverage that it's started to feel normal, rather than the total lunacy it objectively is #mlb #basescovered #MLBUK

🤣🤣🤣

Hey #baseball! While we wait for these Game 3s to start, anyone able to explain where the phrase 'opposite field' comes from? Opposite of what? #mlb #playoffs #wildcard #possiblyastupidquestion

Right. Let's go, er, Tigers. #mlb #tigers #wildcard

But I was told that he was having a "down year." 🤔 #LGM #MetsSky

Well, this is going well. But, obviously, it has the potential to go so very not well at any moment. #MetsSky #LGM

Trying to work out if I want the Giants or Diamondbacks to win tonight. It's at times like this I wish MLB had good, old-fashioned draws. #MetsSky #LGM

@grantbrisbee.bsky.social @sammillerbb.bsky.social What about Salvy Perez for retirement game send-off joy?

Baty bomb! #MetsSky #LGM

This was wildly optimistic.

Swaggy 💣

Are we completely sure that Sproat isn't just McLean with a bit of shaving?

Soto bomb! #lgm #Mets

Morning! #lgm

FFS

I'm always impressed by Mets fans' ability to completely lose the plot in the space of three days. #MetsSky #Mets #LGM

We've let Maldonado get above .200, ffs #MetsSky #mets #LGM

Watching Jays v Orioles. The Orioles' home run celebrations are unnecessarily complicated.

Not exactly the most devilish of pitches.
