brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 09/10/2026given the Olympic qualifying rules (best finishing Euro or Aussie team gets a spot), the Dutch and other European teams should probably root for Colombia to advance, right? (That lowers the number of competitors for a spot.) 100
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026they should visit the delightful M.C. Escher house or perhaps the children's book museum. 010
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 02/10/2026it's great to root for Venezuela (and especially Ozzie & his fish for the Kingdom of the Netherlands!) because watching games in Atlanta is awful. 100
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I keep getting a This Week In Baseball clip about how the Marlins are the hottest team in baseball. or, highlights from the ugly Netflix opening night game. 101
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 11/09/2026always weird to see a trident team be successful. Neptunus' manager has a better mustache than any Mariner skipper ever managed. 001
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 30/08/2026use a website built by humans. Sports Reference was started by a guy from Philly. it's great. (kudos also on lording ur superiority on literally the Cleveland Browns, the most pompous franchise out there. their fans love all their players and management. woof.) 000
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Diaz was not named to the 50 greatest Mariners list and Dave Valle was and I'm mad about it. (Motter was an ok Mariner) 110
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 28/07/2026for a while, Pujols' negative contract value ($/WAR) completely negated Trout's surplus value. This team drive Andrelon Simmons to give up the game, only resurfacing this year. Also, multiple tragic pitcher deaths (one of which the team settled a wrongful death suit over). 000
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I saw a great documentary about how the Greeks tried and failed to build a baseball team for the 2004 Olympics. sad times. Now a former Mariners farmhand playing in the Netherlands is their best player, trying to bring the team back. 110
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 21/07/2026I think he didn't actually play in 2023. here's an impressively bad stat line from the Athens Olympics: 0-for-18, 2 BB, 1 CS www.wbsc.org/en/player/pa...wbsc.orgWorld Baseball Softball Confederation - wbsc.org 110
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Brad sighted! Erik Pappas played in the 2023 European baseball championship, I think. 110
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Sherwin almost made to the majors. Would've been the first Curaçaoan. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherwin... 010
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 13/07/2026feel vindicated by hating that trade months before it even happened. 010
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 13/07/2026never forget A. Harris. (there's a lot of Harrises, but one is notable for this.) baseballhall.org/discover/swi... 010
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 08/07/2026he's trying to stick around for the '28 Olympics, which is impressive for a member of the '08 Nationals. www.teamnl.org/artikelen/20... 000
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 07/07/2026you gotta dock (pun intended) SEA and HOU for, by virtue of their jobs, leaving America 110
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 07/07/2026COR and CLE HEINOUSLY underrated. Purple Mountains are in America the Beautiful. and those guardian statues protect us in our cars. Blue jays are as American as cardinals (you won't find a jay bird in Belize!) 220
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Mariners lost two CFs in their game on Thursday. (one was the 1B bonking Julio with a throw, other was HBP.) very rude by LAAoA 110
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 30/06/2026that is a whole apple and a half pear. totally pear-shaped, yet not entirely shaped like a pear. 100
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 28/06/2026B1G 10 cities like Seattle, New Jersey/New York, and Los Angeles have made their conference proud, imo. 000
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Ichiro went hitless in his final MLB season! They cheered when he walked off the field! 010
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 21/06/2026once he gets a job, some hater gonna start an anonymous blog: Fire Joey, Morgan 010
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 18/06/2026yeah, you're right. (i couldn't quickly find more about his background.) 000
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 18/06/2026good thing baseball has hats but not caps. www.usabaseball.com/player/max-r... 110
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 15/06/2026the Japanese women's baseball team is nicknamed Madonna Japan, which I think is neat. 100
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 15/06/2026the Dutch are also Lions. (most boring animal mascot, but at least the women's team gets a different, lioness crest) 000
brad. @bivlo.bsky.social · 04/06/2026why is that bat not a li'l chewed up? let beavers be beavers. 100
