A 15-inch mound in a ballpark lit by 60-watt bulbs. Dodger Stadium in the '60s produced less offense than an Osmond Christmas Special. https://t.co/cMucrArcGV

So Arpaio is free....among people he illegally attempted to detain. America's Toughest Sheriff? We're about to find out. Good luck, Joe.

hmmm

Folks, I did the math.

Assuming this is his last start, Trevor Williams must allow 3 ER over 5.2 IP in a ND to finish 6-9 with a 4.20 ERA. pic.twitter.com/zifRBMeRn6

Folks, it gets better.

If Homer Bailey goes 6 IP, allows 4 ER and gets the win tomorrow, he finishes 6-9 with a 6.90 ERA and 69 ER allowed. pic.twitter.com/TsTA7BbtC3

For some reason, C.J. Wilson’s car dealership paid to advertise on the big screen between innings at this meaningless Angels-White Sox game.

He has a Mazda dealership in Chicago. When I was with the Cubs he let me borrow a cherry red Mazda SUV. Zoom zoom

time to take a big sip of coffee and check out MLB all-star Sammy Sosa’s engagement photos pic.twitter.com/qfRHNOTFWk

yikes

walking up Broadway in NYC, i am always startled to see on the sidewalk plaques that they had a parade for Sosa there.

Clayton Kershaw, on if he’s gotten over the World Series: “I don’t really take something and move on. I just kind of absorb it.”

Is that healthy?

“I’m not sure. I’ll let you know, if I explode at some point.”

Dan Haren's like a modern day Bob Uecker, hope he sticks around

Pedro Moura looks exactly like I expected him to look

well, in the absence of other explanations for increased HR likelihood

U know what’s really unexpectedly cool about playing right field? I get to be eye level with the fans sitting on my side. Had some fun roasting a guy yesterday lol

v. v. good for baseball, of course

Dear couple that clearly broke up while standing near our bullpen in the 5th inning today,

Lovely entertainment for a few minutes, but we hope you’re ok. Feel free to come back tomorrow and discuss with us. We can provide the third party point of view!

Love,

The Jays bullpen!

great selfie

I look at the first 10 digits of line scores in case one forms a phone number. I found one this year, I can’t tell you the game, that would be intrusive. I called the number, and a guy answered! I hung up without speaking. What was I going to say, your number is a line score?

i.e., it's small compared to most of its competitors but not actually small. it's absolutely a choice to spend that little on the team

yeah i don't doubt that pirates could be spending more, just wondering how much of that revenue share is nutter pocketing as pure profit

Helping to alleviate the big financial spread among teams (the top five are worth an average of $5.1 billion versus $1.2 billion for the bottom five), was a record amount of revenue sharing in 2023. The 13 richest team, including the Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and Yankees, gave $500 million combined to the 14 poorest teams, including the Tampa Bay Rays, Royals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Orioles.

so on average about $35 million to each small market team, not that much actually

yankees operating income of just $2 million suggests that they are always operating on the bleeding edge and putting all their revenue back into the team

mets having an operating loss of $292 million is pretty lolmets and i'm guessing not sustainable, even with an owner like steve cohen

All those terrible doctors employed by the Yankees surely don’t come cheap
