We, and I do mean all of us, simply cannot accept a reality in which the goddamn Marlins Man gets to watch a baseball game while sitting next to Dua Lipa.

A local SF radio baseball podcast has the same ads run for the whole season. It can be infuriating for a 10 minute show to also have 6 minutes of the same ads. I too have wondered what it would take to just buy out a season of ads so I don't have to put up with it.

There are times when living in a mono-party area is frustrating and many more when it's nice, especially when it comes to ads.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, so many cameras these days do auto-AI touch ups. It's very possible that this is a legit photo that has been retouched before they even saw it.

If that was my job I'd watch that high home angle with that emphatic safe call over and over. I'd find a way to put that gif on a T-shirt with the caption "I called it right" and wear it around

It really feels like each day there is another depressing thing to hit this team. I don't think I can remember another stretch like this.

But PCA is! And that's the interesting part, that a lefty hasn't by now

Scott DiGiorgio @tonalmountain.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

No, but it's still interesting that a lefty hasn't hit this many home runs for the Cubs in 135 years or whatever. It's been a long time and baseball has been through a few offensive heavy eras, and Wrigley isn't THAT big, so in the meantime someone not doing this by now is interesting. That's all

Eh, I kinda care about that since it's basically the "not Sammy Sosa or Ernie Banks" stat

It's kind of like Duke Snider being the Dodgers career HR leader with 389, and Eric Karros being 3rd with 270. Like, surely a premier franchise in all of baseball and it's history would have ONE player with more HR for them, but no

You should get a T-shirt that pre-answers these allegations, that should clear things up.

Scott DiGiorgio @tonalmountain.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

This is a cumulative stat right, so each AB is like 0.5 OPS+ and that's like a .250 OBP and .250 SLG so that's bad. At least that's what I'm telling myself

How about just the win probability graph from statcast, your own in-house system for determining how likely something is instead of a paid advertisement for a betting market?

I've come to realize that the truly great comedic minds have the ability to make the same joke continue to be funny. 1000 words about how good the brats on the grill look, with almost no other content, is a perfect example of this.

Catching up after a couple busy months. These are two of the funniest things I've read in ages. Thank you, @theonion.com @bencollins.bsky.social

I get they are insinuating it's bad you're in your 40s, but are they saying it would be better if you were older or younger? I can't get a read on that

They both seem to feed on getting under the other's skin. Tony is divisive in the best of descriptions, so are a lot of umps. I bet they both take their chips on their shoulders personally.

29 games takes a full month! Getting a bit less than half in a quarter of that time is hard to do. Well. Sometimes.

-39 in two games this week will do that
