One of the weird things about rooting for the #Padres is it makes sense to root for the #Dodgers when they play other National League teams. Nobody’s going to beat LA over 162 games, so you might as well root for them to beat up SD’s wild-card competition. #MLB#baseball@baseball
It takes talent to grab a chair and pull it with you while diving into the stands to avoid a Shohei line drive. The #Dodgers have limber ball people. #MLB#baseball@baseball
#baseball friends — offense is still down despite the pitch clock and limiting pickoffs and banning the shift. League OBP is almost down to .310 with an endless parade of strikeouts as players struggle to make contact with pitches due to velocity and movement. Run scoring is the lowest it’s been in 10 years.
Still more strikeouts than singles — BORING. Stealing bases becoming ridiculously easy — BORING.
In #Canada, many #BlackHeroes, in #baseball as elsewhere, remain unknown. The #Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, whose mission is to commemorate “great players, teams, and accomplishments of baseball in Canada” and create “a culture which champions education, respect, diversity and healthy lifestyles across generations” has continued to place #BlackHistory below white achievement.
