did i already complain about opening day taking place during the afternoon of a weekday? sure was fun to read the boxscore of my favorite team's game after it was over

It's just hard to drop $400 + the game when I already have an XBox and only play one or two games a year.

That’s really cool.There’s a great track on The Show 19 by High Tatras. They’ve only released one EP and info on them on the internet is very scarce. I assume the band either know someone at SDS or someone there is a fan of super unknown indie music. Anyway, I can’t find the track from The Show 19 anywhere.

3 HRs for goldschmidt, and hopefully a chance for 4 in the 9th. the lone out he made tonight was a screaming line drive to deep center at 108 mph EV
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 30 March 2019 03:15 (five years ago) link
that's like as many HRs as he hit in the first 2 months last season.

Trevor Rosenthal has made 4 consecutive appearances in which he did not get an out and allowed at least 1 run (active streak extended today).That's the longest streak of outings allowing at least a run without recording an out since at least 1908.— Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) April 3, 2019

just curious - what is everyone's reaction to the whole cactus/grapefruit league, baseball in empty stadiums idea?
i would watch it for sure. but what happens when one player (or staff or coach, etc) tests positive? it seems likely to end in a bunch of build-up followed by shutting it down 3 weeks in or something

― clemenza, Tuesday, 14 April 2020 17:08 (four years ago) link
even if you solved the quarantine/testing part -- which is not to my knowledge actually solvable -- there are only 10 cactus league ballparks + chase field in arizona. to air live games in primetime on the east coast would mean starting games at 5-7 pm, when it's insanely fucking hot
the florida parks are more spread out, i don't think all of them are presently equipped for tv, and it rains every damn day
and despite the players very much wanting to play, i don't see that many of them wanting to either quarantine without their families for four and a half months or drag their families into a situation like that
