Even ignoring the bit where vaccination isn't a personal decision at a population level, the fact that a bunch of players are getting sick and loving up the schedule should tell them it isn't even an individual decision within their own sport.

Crazy Ted posted:Because for god-knows-what reasons, the city of Tampa decided to build a stadium for a major league baseball team that didn't exist in the late 1980s using the Metrodome ( The story is better than that. Jerry Reinsdorf was at loggerheads with the City of Chicago regarding tax credits and other public funding for the new Comiskey Park. Both sides were pretty solidly entrenched, so Reinsdorf got together with some of his real estate buddies in Florida; those guys pressured the government of St. Petersburg to eventually say, "Hell, yeah, we'll gladly welcome the White Sox if Chicago doesn't want them! poo poo, we'll start building a stadium right now!" So construction began on the Trop without any agreement with the White Sox to move there, and expansion was still a twinkle in the eye of MLB at that point. So St. Petersburg got completely pantsed by Reinsdorf--who never had any intention of leaving Chicago, he just hated Mayor Daley and wanted to give him a panic attack--and the Trop sat largely empty for almost a decade, outside of Lightning games and concerts.

kinda dreading Ohtani pitching today, his first time back from surgery last year was a traumatic experience. Zero outs, infinite ERA, injury.

The Astros just absolutely demolished the A's. Basically the Astros have owned the A's since the what are they gonna say now thing that I currently can't find With this pitching staff I'm not confident in the season, especially with how lovely Myles Straw is. But it's still fun in the moment

I watched it elsewhere but the ESPN broadcast this afternoon of Atlanta-Philly was blacked out for me because the game was also theoretically available on the RSNs, which Hulu TV does not carry.

In case you missed it, Ohtani was throwing triple digit heat and then mashed the first pitch he saw 450 feet. Baseball.

He threw the hardest pitch by a starting pitcher so far this season, and hit the hardest home run so far this season. Beautiful, I really hope he succeeds.

I want one season where he gets incredible luck with his run support and goes 20-3 with a 2-something ERA in 28 starts... and ALSO goes .300 with 30+ dingers in 450 AB.bewbies posted:I saw this on some comment section and I can't stop laughing at it Huh.

My dad watched a lot of baseball when I was younger so I've got some nostalgia and I thought maybe this year I'll try watching some instead of just catching youtube clips of bloopers and insane plays. I don't have cable, or Sling, or anything like that. I'm also not interested in paying $25 a month to watch a single team or whatever the cheapest MLB.tv option is. I guess my best bet is trying to get in on the sharing option? I checked my blackouts and it's just the Cardinals and Reds it looks like, neither of which I'd be interested in. Padres, Brewers, Pirates, basically any team with an unusual or fun theme like that.
