I get why the closed captioning folks struggle in live performances, but can't we do better in commercials?!

What do you think of the claim that MLB is about to crack down on foreign substances?!

Diversity adds so much to the game

xenophobia hits MLB.

I thought long and hard about the foreign people before passing it up. But, as ever, none of the anti-immigrant folks have pointed out how hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs are lost to non-citizens in our major sports, especially baseball at all levels.

Nonetheless, yes, the gum, jell, or whatever they get on the balls and whether that has a damned thing to do with the higher rotation rate and lower batting averages.

And I thoroughly enjoyed tonight's game, but the Yankees should have had one more at bat in the 9th, for sure.

"I think it’s tiring when losses are blamed on umpires calls because there is so much that goes on before and usually after..."

That's all Kay had to say.  The Yankees are poorly constructed team and their lack of success is entirely their own doing.

True, except the quality of umpiring has truly gone downhill all across the league(s). And in 9th inning game on the line, a pitch that far off the plate on a 3-2 count should NEVER be called a strike. The fact that it was called a strike effectively killed an opportunity to extend the home team's traditional advantage, an advantage now mightily muted by Manfred's malicious and murderous meddling in major league baseball.

Worst of the umps, 2021, starting in the METS home opener: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X7sjmjeFvg

And these are horrible as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXT6D3PvA_U

Sometimes when you see a pattern of dysfunction, it's a pattern of dysfunction.
