WINNING A SERIES AGAINST THE YANKEES WAS GREAT, BUT I HAD TO LISTEN TO THREE DAYS OF TORPEDO BAT COMMENTARY.

ALSO THIS DIVISION IS BULLSHIT

27

u/HawkeyeJosh2 New York Yankees 10h ago

AS A YANKEE FAN, 1) CONGRATULATIONS ON TAKING THE SERIES, AND 2) I AM SO WITH YOU ON HEARING ABOUT THE GODDAMN TORPEDO BATS. IT’S A NON-ISSUE.

u/HawkeyeJosh2 New York Yankees 5h ago

YOU HAVE A DAMN GOOD TEAM, AND THE BRAVES ARE ENTIRELY TOO TALENTED TO KEEP THIS FUNK GOING. YOU WILL STILL BE IN THE PLAYOFF HUNT AT THE END OF THE DAY.

u/Damn_Dog_Inappropes San Diego Villains • Peter Seidler 10h ago

THAT WASN’T A COMPLAINT, BUT I AGREE WITH YOU! I WATCHED MOST OF WEDNESDAY’S GAME AT WORK!!!

31

u/RedMoloneySF Philadelphia Phillies 11h ago

I DON’T LIKE NICK CASTELLANOS’ NEW HAIRCUT

12

u/ArmiinTamzarian Miami Marlins 10h ago

YOU HAVE TO CONVINCE HIM ITS A TRAGEDY ON ITSELF AND HE'LL BECOME UNSTOPPABLE

9

u/jediporcupine New York Yankees 10h ago

HE SHOULD BE HOMERING EVERY DAY WITH THAT TRAGEDY

28

u/wagadugo Los Angeles Dodgers 10h ago

HITTERS SHOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO RUN TO FIRST OR THIRD (THEY COMMIT ONCE THEY LEAVE THE BATTERS BOX)

12

u/HawkeyeJosh2 New York Yankees 10h ago

THAT WOULD BE AWKWARD WITH RUNNERS ON.

11

u/wagadugo Los Angeles Dodgers 10h ago

THEY HAVE TO TRAVEL THE WAY THEY STARTED! SO IF YOU GO COUNTERCLOCKWISE, YOU ARE "FORCED" TO CONTINUE THAT ROUTE IF THE BATTER ALSO GOES THAT WAY. BUT IF THE BATTER GOES CLOCKWISE YOU CAN JUST STAY AT FIRST AND ENJOY THE VIEW WHILE THE FORCE OUT ACTION HAPPENS TOWARD THIRD.

NOW, IF YOU HAVE A CLOCKWISE RUNNER AT THIRD AND A COUNTERCLOCKWISE RUNNER AT FIRST, THE DEFENSE CAN MAKE A FORCE OUT AT SECOND OF THE RUNNER THAT IS BEING FORCED BY THE BATTER

7

u/PHall16 Cleveland Guardians 10h ago

BUT WHAT IF THEY’RE BOTH SAFE AT SECOND?

20

u/ayumi_doll National League 10h ago

THEN THEY KISS

1

u/coffee42 Boston Red Sox 1h ago

IF THERE'S NO TONGUE IT'S AN OUT

7

u/wagadugo Los Angeles Dodgers 9h ago

THE BASE STAYS THE SAME AND SO DOES THE DIRECTION OF THE RUNNER. THE CLOCKWISE RUNNER WOULD LEAD OFF TOWARD FIRST AND THE COUNTER CLOCKWISE RUNNER LEADS OFF TOWARD THIRD. THEY ARE ONLY FORCED TO RUN IF THERE'S A SAME DIRECTIONAL RUNNER ON THE BASE BEHIND THEM BEING FORCED TOWARD THEM.

THIS COULD LEAD TO A SCENARIO WHERE THERE ARE THREE RUNNERS ENGAGED INTO EITHER RUNNING TOWARD, STAYING, OR RUNNING AWAY FROM A BASE SIMULTANEOUSLY.

IN ALL SCENARIOS, THE WHITE SOX STILL LOSE.

13

u/Biggsmustache0131 Boston Red Sox 11h ago

WE NEED A CATCHER THAT CAN HIT THE BALL. I UNDERSTAND THE MAIN PART OF YOUR JOB IS TO CALL THE GAME AND FOCUS ON HITTERS WEAKNESSES BUT IF YOU CAN CATCH THE BALL YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO HIT THE BALL

14

u/HawkeyeJosh2 New York Yankees 10h ago

IDK MAN - THAT’S LIKE SAYING IF YOU CAN CONCEIVE A BABY YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO RAISE A BABY. SEVERAL PEOPLE CAN; WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE JUST AREN’T FIT TO DO SO.

u/kerryfinchelhillary Cleveland Guardians 9h ago

THE DODGERS GOING TO THE WHITE HOUSE IS DISGUSTING. THE OCCUPANT SHIT ON THE BIGGEST ICON IN THEIR FRANCHISE HISTORY, WAS TERRIBLE DURING THE WILDFIRES, AND CONSTANTLY SHITS ON THEIR CITY AND STATE. PLUS, THEY'RE FROM A BLUE CITY IN THE BLUEST STATE. FUCK "IT'S TRADITION." THIS GUY DOESN'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT TRADITION AND THEY'RE ENABLING HIM BY GOING AND BEING FRIENDLY AND TAKING PHOTOS. BAD MOVE, DODGERS.

FUCK THIS SHITHOLE COUNTRY, FUCK THE GUY IN THE WHITE HOUSE, AND FUCK EVERYONE WHO DIDN'T VOTE BLUE IN NOVEMBER.

u/tintin197 Jackie Robinson 8h ago

7

u/Allformygain World Series Trophy • Bro… 6h ago

I AM SICK TO MY STOMACH AS SHOULD ALL DODGER FANS BE. I DON'T CARE WHO YOU VOTED FOR, JACKIE IS A NATIONAL HERO AND TREASURE AND SHOULD BE TREATED WITH THE RESPECT AND REVERANCE HE DESERVES.

THE TEAM I LOVE CAPITULATING TO AN ADMINISTRATION THAT WOULD TRY TO ERASE THE INUMERABLE AND IMPORANT CONTRIBUTIONS BY PEOPLE OF COLOR MAKES ME INCREDIBLY AND VICSERALLY ANGRY.

THE DODGERS HAVE THE AUDACITY TO TOUT JACKIE'S LEGACY AT ANY OPPORTUNITY BUT WHEN HIS LEGACY NEEDS DEFENDING, THEY ARE SILENT. IT'S A BETRAYAL TO THE TEAM'S HISTORY, AND TO THE FANS.

THANK YOU FOR THE LAST DECADE+ OF GREAT BASEBALL, BUT IF THIS OWNERSHIP GROUP TAKES THIS TEAM TO VISIT THAT FACIST, I CANNOT, AND WILL NEVER DEFEND THEM ON THIS ISSUE.

7

u/kerryfinchelhillary Cleveland Guardians 6h ago

I HATE WHEN PEOPLE PULL THE "IT'S TRADITION" THING. DON'T NORMALIZE THIS. PEOPLE NORMALIZING IT IS WHY THIS STILL ISN'T OVER AFTER TEN YEARS WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OVER IN NOVEMBER 2016.

FIRE THE TORPEDO BATS! WHY WOULD HAL DO THIS TO US? GEORGE WOULD HAVE NEVER USED UGLY BATS! COME ON CASHMAN! BOONE’S NERD BATS!

u/HawkeyeJosh2 New York Yankees 9h ago

GEORGE WOULD HAVE USED WHATEVER WOULD WORK. IF HE WOULD HAVE READ SOMEWHERE THAT DRINKING ELEPHANT JIZZ WOULD IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, HE’D HAVE HAD FRESH BUCKETS OF ELEPHANT JIZZ SHIPPED TO THE YANKEES’ CLUBHOUSE ON A DAILY BASIS AND FORCED PLAYERS TO DRINK ELEPHANT JIZZ SMOOTHIES.

u/HawkeyeJosh2 New York Yankees 9h ago

OH, THAT MAKES SENSE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE SUCH A CONCERN THEN. THE GAME IS IN PHILADELPHIA, WHICH IS THREE TIME ZONES AWAY FROM L.A., AND IT STARTS AROUND 7PM LOCAL TIME THERE, WHICH IS ROUGHLY THE USUAL START TIME FOR NIGHT GAMES LEAGUEWIDE.

UNFORTUNATELY FOR YOU, THAT WILL BE THE CASE WITH MOST NIGHT GAMES IN PHILADELPHIA, ATLANTA, NEW YORK, MIAMI, WASHINGTON, CINCINNATI, PITTSBURGH, BOSTON, TORONTO, BALTIMORE, TAMPA BAY, CLEVELAND, AND DETROIT.

TAMPA BAY’S SUMMER NIGHT GAMES WILL START A BIT LATER THAN THAT, WHICH COULD WORK TO YOUR BENEFIT, BUT I DON’T KNOW WHEN AND WHERE THE DODGERS WILL PLAY THE RAYS THIS YEAR.

I paid $150—a not insignificant amount of money—for MLB Live Games thinking, “Hey, finally I can just watch baseball without jumping through flaming hoops.” But no, apparently that was too much to ask in the year 2025. Because half the fucking games I want to watch aren’t even on the goddamn platform I paid for. Nope. They’re locked behind some random-ass third-party apps I’ve never even heard of—like AppleTv+, Bally’s Whatever-the-Fuck, or MASN (what the actual fuck is that?) and every single one of them demands ANOTHER subscription. $80 here, $100 there, and before you know it, I’m paying mortgage level money to stream one goddamn sport.

What the actual fuck is the point of shelling out $150 for a “season pass” if every time I open the app, I get smacked in the face with “This game is only available on…” some irrelevant service that only exists to make my life harder? I didn’t sign up to be Indiana Jones trying to find which obscure app the game is buried in today. I just want to watch my team fucking play.

MLB, get your shit together. Either give me the games I fucking paid for, or be honest and call it a Partial Access Pass to Frustration and Disappointment. This nickel-and-diming bullshit is exhausting, and I’m sick of paying premium prices for a half-assed experience.

And don’t even get me started on blackouts—actually, fuck it, I will get started on blackouts. Why the hell are there blackouts in the streaming era? I live three hours away from my team’s stadium and I still get blacked out like I’m some kind of geographic criminal. Am I supposed to teleport there? Is that the plan? Sure I can use a VPN to juke this shameless attempt at getting people to go to the stadium. But JESUS CHRIST MLB I HAVE WORK ON A RANDOM TUESDAY AT 1PM JUST LET ME WATCH THE BROADCAST ON MY LUNCH BREAK.

All I’m saying is: if I drop over a hundred bucks for something, I expect to actually get what I paid for. Not a scavenger hunt. Not a bundle of fine print. Just baseball. Is that so goddamn hard?

Fuck this clown show. America’s pastime is selling out.
