This morning we were looking at tickets for the Bananas when they come through town later this summer, but they start at $210. After parking, food, and merch it’d be like $1,000 for my family to go. That’s insane.

On second look the site my wife found is for secondary market, but yeah the lottery appears to be the only way to get tickets directly and sign-ups for that closed Dec. 1. That’s tough planning that far out for a game in late July. I’m also not clear on whether the lottery is just home games or the full schedule, but guessing it’s the latter.

They're popular enough that they have to run a lottery for tickets and then yeah the secondary market goes nuts for them. Like not to be that guy but within the context of capitalism I'm not really sure what else they could be doing besides like, playing way more games or not even selling tickets in advance and just doing a first come first serve deal, although that would just lead to the actual game days being a madhouse.

What the gently caress has to go through a person's brain to show up in person with a sign to simp for Trevor Bauer on a sidewalk.

The belief that they can fill the hole in their heart with attention. I doubt they were there much longer than the time it took to get that photo.

Good riddance. I’ll give him that the early years were good, he never sold the naming rights to the best park in the league, and he was about as pro-labor as an owner could be - which is still next to nothing. He ponied up to keep Chris Davis when he was absolutely mashing and, as I understand, allowed to take his adderall. Dude sounded like a real poo poo stain and he was probably worse than I realized, but it’s easy to not seem so bad when Dan Snyder is your neighbor.

I read something this past summer about a sale after his death not being that cut and dry because of his wife Georgia, but there was so much speculation going around about a sale that it could have been bullshit.

wow wtf, hes not a "poo poo stain" just because he was bad when it came to baseball decisions lol

I was referring to his - and Snyder’s - character. He didn’t seem like a great guy according to anecdotes I’ve heard from people who’ve been in contact with the family.

Yeah though that’s just the thing, I’ve never heard anything bad about the man on a human level.

Alright, well I’m not interested in litigating this if you want to defend him. I’ve got my opinion and you’re welcome to have a lol for feeling otherwise.

What? It is the bog standard response for someone in his position. Call a press conference and read a prepared statement that your very expensive and competent legal team has crafted for you. Then shut the gently caress up and do not comment on it at all. It's what he should have done at first, the screw up was his people letting Ippei talk to ESPN alone for 90 minutes last week, then issuing statements that apparently were not vetted by his legal team.

What wildly famous person that is embroiled in a scandal with potential legal ramifications like this have you ever known to call a press conference and take questions? That'd be incredibly stupid. Were you seriously expecting that??

Ippei didn't actually talk to ESPN alone. A crisis PR rep for Ohtani arranged and attended Ippei's disastrous call. That's a 'time to find a new career' move. What the gently caress were they thinking?

I’m still leaning that Ippei’s initial story is as close to the truth as we’ve heard so far and Ohtani’s camp began doing some serious backpedaling once they realized how much they hosed up in putting him at risk for wire fraud charges.

I'm about to be off for paternity leave so the amount of baseball I'm going to watch in the next 2 months is going to own. Baseball seems like the perfect thing to have on in the background while tending to a baby.

Congrats! Watching baseball while a newborn sleeps on your chest is incredible.

why are people acting like 16oz is a lot :confused:

Yeah I can’t wrap my head around that photo. A classic red solo cup is 16 ounces. Either the cup is a lot larger than that or the woman’s hand is tiny.

Edit: I guess maybe you get 16oz of actual milkshake and then there’s a bunch of extra room for the accoutrements.
