YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT is advice I wish I had long ago working in sports just even as a cisgender and queer woman in an industry that feels bad most of the time! Embracing who you want to be and represent is so refreshing!

The A's just did one of the coolest things I've seen in their broadcast: Just unfiltered audio of the live director calling a Lawrence Butler plate appearance...that went about as well as they could have hoped for.

A lot of you have reached out to me already about this because you already searched for it and saw we were working on it. We recently added WPBL stats on Baseball Reference, and also added AAGPBL stats. www.baseball-reference.com/register/wom...

This is exhausting, but such is the life of a water-carrier. And MLB's salary cap hopes really are just about the Dodgers' results.

Anthony Castrovince:

Nevermind a generation of postseasons that clearly, unequivocally demonstrate the correlation between revenues and results. The Dodgers had a bad week, so everything is fixed now.

"The Brewers' shrinking NL Central lead on a Cubs team with the third-highest revenues in MLB is complicating the MLBPA's sudden love of low-payroll teams."

See, I, too, can use small daily standings changes in August to make big-picture points. It's fun!

Hey, *big* apologies to @minorleaguer.ca and everyone. My memory was faulty! Fort Wayne found the video of the 2016 game and the runner from third appeared to tag up properly and score before the throw went to first base.

Jesse Goldberg-Strassler @jgoldstrass.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

@minorleaguer.ca I found my call: I focused on sac fly, throw home late, a throw into first doubles off the runner, run counts, send to break. When I came back the next inning, I discussed how the Nuts argued the run shouldn't have counted, but I said it wasn't a force play. No 4th out talk.

Minor league baseball had a brief stay in Lansing in the 1940s. It had a strong return in 1996 when the Lugnuts arrived downtown. 30 years later the Lugnuts have remained a big hit as the franchise has been a pillar for downtown Lansing. www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/sports...

30 years in, Lansing Lugnuts show staying power as downtown pillar

After 30 years the Lansing Lugnuts remain a downtown staple. See how the team built a lasting community legacy that's rare for Minor League teams.

The All-Star Game is so overstimulating at its core — new pitchers every inning, lineup changing over, short at-bats because every pitcher is attacking — that the optional way to broadcast it is "here's this guy, here's why he's here," then get out of the way.

Jesse Goldberg-Strassler @jgoldstrass.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

One inning with runs and a bunch of easy scoreless innings? Sounds like an All-Star Game.

When do the pitchers sign the lineup card? I wouldn't mind if it came before their first warmup pitch.

The point that is often lost - like it was with #athletics broadcaster Glen Kuiper - it doesn't matter what's in his heart or whether he knew what he was doing/saying. There are certain words/phrases you can't say into a live mic. I promise it ain't hard to find a broadcaster who understands this
