Local news media is excited about the Pirates drafting Kumar Rocker, can't wait for them to waste the best years of his career and trade him for financial considerations. You cannot tank to win in baseball without also being smart with free agents and international signings, and I don't see the Pirates managing either of those.

Mollymauk posted:Oral history of Randy Johnson obliterating the bird: https://theathletic.com/2460325/ That truly is one of the weirdest things to ever happen in baseball. Randy choosing not to take part in it seems weird, especially given this is his logo for his photography company:

randy was always a strange bird, so to speak. he seems like the kind of guy who'd be incredible to talk to one on one over a whiskey or two but then is just terribly uninterested in most other forms of human interaction quote:Calvin Murray, Giants outfielder: My initial reaction was the ball had exploded. I thought it was a practical joke or something, that he threw some tricked-up exploding baseball. It just took a minute for it to process. lol bewbies fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Mar 23, 2021 |

I can see Johnson not really wanting to talk about it because IIRC he was upset about it when it happened. Using a dead bird as his photography studio's logo, tho, is great and would mean he's gotten over it at least somewhat.

He's probably gotten asked about that bird a thousand times, I'd be sick of it too. I'd be all about an oral history of the time he made John Kruk poop himself at the All-Star game, though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYXTV51GdUs skaboomizzy fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Mar 23, 2021 |

Yeah, come to think of it Johnson probably gets asked more about that bird than coming in to win the 7th game of the World Series that very same year.

There've been 23 perfect games, there's two Cys Young every year, but only once as far as we know has a very tall man just completely obliterated a dove with a 98 mph four seamer with movement from the left hand side

If you obliterate a bird with a small sphere made of leather and cork by complete accident in a freak occurrence not seen since, you owe it to the tortured ghost of that bird to talk about the incident at any given opportunity. Plenty of guys have won Cys and Game 7s, but only one tallboy has exploded a dove.

The Mariners are trying to get me to attend plague games to see the garbage team: 'Your health and safety while at T-Mobile Park is our top priority. This season, you'll find several new protocols designed to reduce touch points including digital tickets, no bags and cashless transactions, as well as a science-based approach to enhanced cleaning. Follow the links below for more information. We'll see you soon!' Nobody handled tickets directly. They scanned them from a few inches away, the exact same way they will for phones. Bags don't matter when people are already bringing themselves in, it just goes along with banning outside food 'for safety'. I'm sure that the place where the bathrooms got covered in a wall of vomit and piss by the 3rd inning are really going to invest in 'science-based' 'enhanced cleaning.' gently caress all of the open 'er up poo poo that is going to get people sick, maimed and killed.

Giants hit 4 dingers off Zach Plesac, and Logan Webb allowed one hit and struck out 7. Start the season. TBF Jose Ramirez and Franmil Reyes didn't play and the rest of Cleveland's lineup seems like a bunch of scrubs. Don't see them scoring a lot of runs this year.
