I’ll be locked in to Penn State baseball games in the spring. Genei Sato is gonna be a first round pick. He is the truth.
Nicaragua would be a great host for a WBC qualifier without question. They still have to agree to a date for the next WBC but if it is up to the commish, the next WBC will be in 2029
Astros owner attended game 3 of Taiwan Series yesterday. The Astros are a team that will be getting heavy into the Taiwan market and it is only a matter of time until MLB hosts regular season games at the Taipei Dome.
Do-yeong Kim hit a titanic blast for a grand slam today as the KIA Tigers eliminated the LG Twins in the final ever game at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. His 475 ft bomb nearly cleared the entire stadium to LCF and was tied for the longest home run in KBO playoff history
In the last 19 seasons, the Rays have made more World Series than the Yankees, Blue Jays, Mets, Cubs, Cardinals, Braves, Red Sox. They have the same amount as the Phillies and Giants, one less than Houston and two less than the Dodgers. The best organizations win. Period.
This is why #MLB needs both a salary floor and a salary cap. The industry payroll differential is so exaggerated that half the teams literally have no-chance at a World Championship.
The top hitters coming over to MLB from NPB/KBO the next 5 years:
1) OF 🇯🇵 Shōta Morishita(Hanshin Tigers)
2) OF 🇰🇷 Hyun-min Ahn(KT Wiz)
3) OF/3B 🇯🇵 Terauki Sato(Hanshin Tigers)
4) IF 🇯🇵 Shugo Maki(Yokohama DeNA BayStars
5) IF 🇰🇷 Do-yeong Kim(KIA Tigers)
Bingo. It’s insanely difficult to hit in today’s game. 4th and 5th starters twenty years ago were sitting 85-87 MPH and allowed to face lineups three times through. Those guys can’t even reach AAA anymore. Pitching is so far ahead of hitting cause the stuff is otherworldly
You can make the bases bigger, tell the defense where to play, control the pick off attempts, but none of that can help a human react and handle the pitching stuff that we’re seeing in today’s game. At some point, we’ll have to move the mound back. #1890
Carlos Arroyo with a three run double and Colombia leads Spain 8-0 in the qualifier finale. The bats shook off the rust and have got it going on day 3 for Colombia. Had they scheduled exhibition games before the qualifier, this qualifier might have gone differently for them.
The Yankee culture is fine. They’re losing in the playoffs because in a do-or-die game, they started guys who had the following OPS+ this season: 95, 92, 84, 81, 76, 74. Same game Tampa started 7 players who were above average hitters. It is a talent issue
It is if you only see it at the surface level. Its dumb AF. Facial hair has nothing to do with being productive on the field. Once you understand that the tweet is about changing the culture back to what made the team
Iconic then you will understand. When you come to the Yankees theres an expectation, a standard, a responsibility on and off the field. you can get in line or leave.
For the first time 3 European nations have qualified for the Premier12. The number could reach 5 after the China qualifier. There could be as many as 9 nations at the 2027 Premier12 competing for 2 spots in the Olympics.
Spain has qualified for its first #Premier12 in country history, while Italy returns for the first time since 2015. Europe's baseball growth continues: mlb.com/news/spain-and-italy…
