I have questions:
How did Brenton Doyle become a good hitter over the winter?
Why did Jurickson Profar decide to become a good hitter after leaving the Rockies?
How did Nolan Jones become a bad hitter over the winter?
Do I have free will?
How far away is the edge of the universe?

This scandal is not the last gambling scandal we’ll see in American sports. Far from it.

@mrcompletely Yeah, we seem to be creating gambling addictions now just as we created smoking addictions in a prior generation.

As for the Twolves and Nuggets, well it ain’t over til it’s over.

I see everyone is up in arms about the Dodgers’ latest big free agent signing.
So I need to remind everyone again that the Colorado Rockies have not yet finished executing their offseason Master Plan. Relax.

Btw, Ohtani is a decent, strong-armed right fielder, too. Not that we’ll see it in MLB.

economics are confusing to me. Why is there no salary cap like in the ?

@eddeeMN @baseball @hockey @baseball @hockey The simple answer is the players won’t agree to it. Nor should they. The MLBPA is the strongest players union in American professional sports.

Goodbye Ōsaka. I enjoyed your food, the “deep,” “sketchy” bar my friend took me to on that back street, and the onsen near Kōshien stadium.
Next stop: Shirahama.

I’m slowly realizing that there’s a chance that Scherzer will face Verlander for the AL championship, and I’m not sure how I feel about that.

I’ve watched a lot of baseball this season in the US and Japan (not as much as I wished).
The most entertaining baseball I saw was the Japanese high school championship tournament. High level baseball played by kids with intensity and emotion. Many of the games at the 53,000 seat stadium were sold out. Such fun.

Okay, honest question, why do people call funny posts shitposting? I think we should call news about Elon, Republicans, Fascism, Shootings ect, Shitposts, because they are actually shitty, and posts that make me laugh need a different name, because why is enjoyment shitty? What kind of world is it that we are shamed for enjoyment?

cbtryon,
@cbtryon@mastodon.world avatar

@RickiTarr Means different things to different people. I think of it as a post intended simply to insult and provoke anger instead of thought. It may or may not be funny.

Sometimes I wonder if I am the only journalist in America who wakes up every day filled to the brim with anxiety about our future. Not because I am special or more this or that. But I think maybe it is just because I haven't figured out some special formula to do this work and still be the person I was before concern about losing our country consumed me.
