It appears I had a new favorite ex-ball player

A few years ago I came around to this idea, the Hall isn’t there to just remember the greats of the game but also to highlight history and the great players that would be forgotten. I take the view that it should be a museum of players, but also an organization of baseball learning

My first SABR game project article is in the editing stages and man, you learn a lot from this process

It continually surprises me how the super rich think everyone else has no idea what happens in other countries

@joshgardner.bsky.social @bloodandmud.bsky.social listening to the latest episode, if you like fun minor league baseball alternate logos the Chesapeake Baysox have a story for you baltimorefishbowl.com/stories/ches...

Any other parents out there who are passionate about their work? I've struggled a lot the past two years with having time to do Dollar Country with taking care of a baby/toddler who I am also very in love with. How have you dealt with that balance?

Today I learned @prewarcards.bsky.social may actually be on a Red Dead Redemption side mission www.ign.com/wikis/red-de...

It’s a natural reaction, but IKF can’t stop there, if Freddie catches it he’s doubled up no matter what

He’s been a one man wrecking crew but he had a lot of help, is a hell of a sentence for someone who makes their living talking

The thing is, Ohtani is underpaid

We have past the point of counting ourselves lucky to be alive to watch him, the simple fact that I could quote post this in 4 months and everyone would know who it refers to speaks volumes

Sports make people do odd things but shocked to hear some cheers when Springer got hit

If we get a Mariners/Brewers World Series and no network has @tjpilotsfan.bsky.social on I give up

There are lots of beautiful baseball card, but the 1974 Topps Steve Garvey is a masterpiece @heavyjstudios.bsky.social

1974 Topps horizontal have hit a spot recently. This Carlton Fisk is a beauty, and taught me that in 1972 Fisk was tied for the league in triples, doubt many catchers have done that

It never ceases to amaze me how little the people who hate the modern game actually understand the modern game of baseball

Crazy to hear the ESPN booth talk about how challenging Judge last night was a pregame meeting idea when the whole sport knows the Yankees are sloppy on defense. The Dodgers told everyone that was their plan in the World Series last year

The number of replies to this thread that include Torre reminds me that when the Yankees hired him it was a shock. At the time he was a bit of a washed up manager. Just a good reminder that no manager can make a bad team good

When does next season start?

As I think about it, it becomes more and more obvious that corporations and universities are not “giving in” to Trump, they just don’t have an issue with what he wants them to do.

My buddy is presenting at the @baseballhall.org this weekend, wish I could make it

Paul Skenes throws the smoothest 98 I’ve ever seen

Baseball is the weirdest sport

I’ve always said Camden Yards is my favorite place on earth, I’m guessing Tanner Scott does not agree with me

Great fans in Baltimore. Gave Yamamoto a standing ovation after he left the game when he lost the no-hitter after 8.2 innings. Great baseball town.

I love everything about this, but the helmet toss may be the best part

Did they make Duff Man the head of the DoD?

@zinnbeck.bsky.social always does a great job breaking down the research process, really fun one here

Baseball sky, Nats beat the Marlins

I’m not sure any of us can really imagine how hard it must be to be on a very bad baseball team. Freeland overreacted but after 5 months of losing it has got to be tough to keep your emotions in check

Anyone got an extra $20,000? bid.hugginsandscott.com/lots/9695

If a run scores due to the error of a pitcher shouldn’t it count against the pitchers ERA?

Paul Weller in Blitz

The Red Sox have three runs, two on hits after a 3rd strike was called a ball

So I was texting a friend about how the MLB app does not have a photo for Ryan Mountcastle. Then I went to check how long Mountcastle has been in the league

Super excited, should be there next summer

You often hear people talk about who played third base in the Tinker-Evers-Chance infield, but you don’t often hear who the Cubs traded to get said third baseman #cardsky

Let me state with confidence, at no point has Miller been in an actual neighborhood in DC. He’s be chased out within seconds

He was stopped for “eating in public” just let that soak in. Eating in public

I’m a simple man, but today I saw one of my favorite things. An old man sitting on the metro reading a pulp romance novel

Have gotten in the habit of watching Ken Burns Baseball as background while we clean. A reenactment of my wife when they get the the Black Sox and I spend the whole time explaining to her which parts are inaccurate @buckweaver.bsky.social

Type 1 photo of Goose Goslin getting iced in the dugout in 1935. It’s not just on the field that baseball has changed #cardsky

I’ve disliked a lot of baseball players in my life, Sanchez has jumped way up that list

It’s been a crazy situation, but there is part of me that is super happy that the 20 game Birdland Membership will actually work out for me. Making that deposit was a good feeling

Really loved this from Julio Rodriguez. Realized the umps were doing anything so he took matters into his into his own hands and made the right decision www.mlb.com/gameday/7767...

At least from left field it looked like the Ump didn’t want to call the rain delay, after Sugano couldn’t see to throw a pitch Julio Rodriguez just walked out of the batters box and called his own rain delay

While generally true this immediately didn’t age well

The annoying thing is I knew this was going to happen all game but still am mad watching the Os create a run for the opponent
