A stance that is both brave and correct. 🫡

"[Murakami] admitted that the nonstop Dodger coverage in the country can annoy him — which might be music to some #SFGiants fans’ ears.
“Everyday, it’s ‘Ohtani, Ohtani, Ohtani,’” Murakami said. “Sometimes I want to watch another game. Even my wife will say, ‘How come they are always on?’” 😂

Google Translate: That historic Game 6, decided by Carlton Fisk's home run at Fenway Park, was the first World Series event experienced simultaneously in the Dominican Republic via satellite. That night, baseball and technology joined forces, and Latin America was connected to the heart of Major League Baseball for the first time. #MLB #WorldSeries #LIDOM

Google Translate: The image wasn't always stable: interference appeared, color faded at times, but the Dominican public was watching baseball "live," something almost unthinkable just a few years earlier.

In the neighborhoods of Santo Domingo, Santiago, San Pedro, and San Francisco de Macorís, people gathered in front of their tube televisions to watch the games of Carlton Fisk, Johnny Bench, and Pete Rose.

50th Anniversary:

"On October 11, 1975, millions of baseball fans in Latin America experienced something unprecedented: for the first time, the #WorldSeries between the Cincinnati Reds and the Boston #RedSox was broadcast in near-real time via satellite." #MLB

Ha! I like that one, though I imagine the one dude patroling the entire OF might have his qualms.

Exorbitant Rosin Violation @jewelsnbinoculars.bsky.social · 2d

Fair. I'd be fine with a tie after 12 or something like that.

But I've attended 18 innings in April and 16 innings in July (between two teams a combined 18 games under .500)...and there's no need for either of those to occur, IMO.

It is popular with the people who actually are laboring in between the lines, so I'll defer to them.

I'm curious how much of the anti-Manfred Man discourse is driven by people thinking that he came up with this idea on his own.
The runner at 2B in extra innings was used in international play and winter leagues long before the pandemic.

I sat through 18 innings on a Friday night in APRIL once—tremendous content for future storytelling me, but 100% unnecessary in the grand scheme.

Happy Birthday Thelonious Monk! “Monk was an enigmatic guy, but he was one of the best people I’ve known, completely honest, and he took a liking to me and took me under his wing, and years later I was able to see that he influenced me in many things.” –S.R. (2007)

It's from this Feinsand article. Giants mentioned as one of the five teams that checked in last offseason, and in one sentence, he theorizes a Devers/Alonso 1B/DH share for '26.
Reads like a casual aside from an East Coast writer who doesn't follow SFG prospects, IMO. But it'll be gospel to some.

What does Alonso's market look like this time around? Execs weigh in

Moments after the Mets’ season came to an abrupt end on Sunday afternoon, Pete Alonso had hardly taken off his uniform when he made it clear that he plans to test the free-agent market for a second st...

They could pull a Brian Sabean, who was so disgusted with Joe Nathan's 2003 NLDS performance (0.1 IP; 3 ER, 1 HR, 1 K, 1 BB) that they included him in a cursed trade for AJ Pierzynski, and then he calmly went on to lock down 260 Saves for the Twins.
