Lou Gehrig Day NYY @ LAD ⚾️

Today is a special day, where the Yankees (who suck) are celebrating Lou Gehrig Day at Dodger Stadium. This special day is dedicated to raising awareness about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)


Dodgers apologize and invite Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to Pride Night

LA Times Apple News

I’ve wanted to say something about the confusing past week when the Dodgers lost the point of Pride and the support of the local pride organizations. Looks like they realize it was a mistake.


May 9, 2023 HOU 3 @ LAA 1 ⚾️

There is a significant difference between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Going to Dodger Stadium you can tell the fans are passionate and loud about it. Going to Angel Stadium and the people are … quiet, maybe not paying attention to the game.

Robot Umpires Stop Us From Blaming Fallible Umpires ⚾️

I cannot prove that the three consecutive called strike three calls to end the Cubs Dodgers game were wrong from my vantage point far form the plate. I can mention that screenstills from the broadcast make each pitch look like balls. Frustrating!

Teams, players have no mechanism for appealing the seemingly arbitrary rulings of the home plate umpire. That is why a popular outcry for robot umpires – a computer who evaluates if a pitch is a strike based off of actual metrics and not eyeballs – resonates with the fans.

That’s not to say that the Dodgers would have won if those pitches were called as expected. It’s just that called strike three is a painful way to end a game and complaining on the internet about it is the only outlet available.


Jackie Robinson ⚾️

Today is the day when all of Major League Baseball uses the number 42 to remember Jackie Robinson’s debut as the first african american to play ball in the “Modern” era. His number was retired for every team but for one day each year all players get to honor him.


And now we have a baseball category

I’ve put on a new theme to see if I can make my micro blog feel more personal. Here, I might even post a picture that I took a few weeks ago. This is baseball season and I’m afraid my words on the matter will seep out. Apologies in advance, they probably won’t be important.
