Major League Baseball (Part 1)

Of course. Although if the Yankees get clowned by this team it will have all been worth it and I’ll gladly watch that.

I’m not a major league baseball pitcher or anything but I would not throw a fastball down the chute on ohtani

yes I can’t throw a fastball but you get the point

@Yuv’s clip didn’t include the prescient comment that occurred just before the pitch:

Trivia Time:

Only three parks in MLB have perfectly symmetrical outfields in 2023. Can you name them? Bonus: Identify the only one of the three that also has a uniform wall height.

That’s brutal.

Dodger Stadium
Colosseum - i think this is the bonus
New Comiskey

Dodger Stadium
Oakland Coliseum
and whatever they call the stadium in Anaheim?

:white_check_mark: Dodger Stadium
:white_check_mark: Oakland Coliseum

Neither are the bonus.

I need to buy more TVs to watch baseball. Tapped out on screen real estate now.

SkyDome (or whatever it’s called now)? Just trying to think of old, boring ballparks.

Close. Rogers Centre would have been a correct answer in 2022 but not 2023.

What was one of the last two stadiums remaining in MLB to have both symmetrical outfields and wall heights will now feature variations in wall heights, depths and angles, which the Blue Jays hope will create a “distinct ballpark character.”

Ya they did some renovations for this year and now have random dimensions and wall heights to be like the cool kids.

“Distinct ballpark character just like 27/30 other parks.” I wonder how many millions you have to pay to a marketing firm for that advice.

You guys tie the series wtmf

Who has two thumbs, struck out 10 batters on 102 pitches, hit a single, walked and smashed two home runs in the same game?

That’s better than that 1 Greinke game. He’s the closest to Ohtani

Weaver tomorrow who is awful. Has ERA somewhere around 7 but he’s probably worse than that at the moment.

Interesting. Who we got, Kremer?

lol Gibson was turrible last time out

Just a 0.8 fwar game. no big deal
