@asherball.bsky.socialPeople really confused the White Sox and Guardians having to play five games with them being great teams.
@asherball.bsky.socialI appreciate how shiny Crockett's watch is
@asherball.bsky.socialI also learned something new about the shift ban while researching this that apparently even the national broadcast teams also got wrong and would have made one of the Astros/White Sox WC games into a total fiasco if the review had gone the other way!
@asherball.bsky.socialReading Eric Longenhagen's report on @fangraphs.com about the new positioning rules they're trialing in the AzFL got me thinking about the limitations MLB has when it comes to how these changes actually play out in the game: pitcherlist.com/mlb-has-a-ru...
@asherball.bsky.socialMan it's impressive how many people have talked themselves into "Ukraine blowing up that Yandex datacenter got rid of all of the bots!" being a thing that's happening.

@cleverturnip.bsky.socialReposted by @asherball.bsky.socialthe white sox starting pitcher made an offhand quote about how he doesn't have a family or girlfriend, all he does is play baseball, and his teammates are now wearing shirts about conserving their vital essence to help him play baseball better

@asherball.bsky.socialI thought this was a Mets tweet from 2025
@asherball.bsky.socialI had some similar feelings about my trip to Mexico City last month but I feel like it's a net positive to go and make it clear we're not all like that?
@asherball.bsky.socialI mean listen, everything is just a flare stack if you adjust for scale
@asherball.bsky.socialOh I mean, I'm talking about when the album first came out, they weren't even the headliner at the show.
@asherball.bsky.socialIt's so fucking good and I saw people *weeping* when they played it in Brooklyn.
@asherball.bsky.socialTell me more...
@asherball.bsky.socialYankees players absolutely *love* lying to the medical staff. I think they like it more than playing baseball.
@asherball.bsky.socialI know you can't force these dudes into the scanner but like...you gotta do something more than whatever teams do now.
@asherball.bsky.socialThe idea that I could ever in a million years come up with even one of the breathtaking things in a Remedyverse game is, frankly, insulting.
@asherball.bsky.socialI make Werewolf Bar Mitzvah references so regularly I should probably have to pay into some licensing scheme.
