This past winter was vicious and long. Attendances were understandably impacted.

The solution for MiLB teams to draw more fans is simple: Start the season in May, end the season in October. Because of climate change, early season gates are crushed by cold temperatures/ excessiverain. Meanwhile, autumn conditions are perfect.

Because you like people, I think you'd enjoy it. You get to watch baseball up close with your friends, and every now and then you go for a nice walk to and from the mound.

Reminder that the impending lockout will hurt many more people than just the players.

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!

They lost Game 1 of the PCL Championship Series, so they're sending him in to turn things around, then recall him after the Triple-A championship.

In last year's playoffs and then again tonight, I go from getting frustrated with the Patriots' going super conservative with their offense and refusing to give Drake the keys... to understanding.

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.

July 30, 2016. Angel Perdomo on the mound, Fort Wayne runners at first and third, one out. They broke on contact, left fielder Austin Davis made the catch, and the appeal went to first base instead of third. Inning-ending double play, run counted. I was beside myself as the defense left the field.
