Reposted by @mparnell.bsky.socialJosh Sternberg @joshsternberg.com · 25/03/2026It's quite amazing how much MLB hates its fans. Opening night, two storied teams, only available on ... Netflix. What a giant fuck you to millions of people who love baseball but don't want/need/have Netflix. 342131279

mparnell.bsky.social @mparnell.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Spare me. We already have Thanksgiving where we have to listen to our weird far-right relatives espouse stupid conspiracy theories. That’s enough “sacred rituals” for me. 000

Reposted by @mparnell.bsky.socialEdward Luce @edwardluce.bsky.social · 15/02/2025America's greatest force multiplier and global strength has been its network of allies. Popular lore now sees them as a burden. So America is killing its alliances. The Trump-Musk-Vance administration's moves are an act of epic self-harm. 2139692
mparnell.bsky.social @mparnell.bsky.social · 28/12/2024ESPN: Rice in 1975-86 ranked first in the AL in games (1,766), at-bats (7,060), runs (1,098), hits (2,145), home runs (350), RBI (1,276), slugging percentage (.520), total bases (3,670), extra-base hits (752), fourth in triples (73) and batting average (.304), first in outfield assists (125). 000
mparnell.bsky.social @mparnell.bsky.social · 28/12/2024I did not remotely suggest Baines’ numbers were boosted by steroids; they were not. I was pointing out Rice’s numbers were a product of his time. Dwight Evans was a really good player worthy of HOF consideration, especially because of his unparalleled defense. 000
mparnell.bsky.social @mparnell.bsky.social · 27/12/2024This is a case where numbers don’t tell the story. Jim Rice and Harold Baines are not comparable. Rice averaged 30 HR, 100 RBI and a .300 BA for a decade at a time — before steroids and 3 true outcomes — when those were HOF-worthy numbers. I believe in a “small hall” but would include Jim Rice. 100
