Baseball 2026: RIP Mr Laser Beam

Sorry, I didn't know you were an Angels fan, too. Congrats to you, as well!

This is good timing with the Dodgers suddenly starting to look a bit long in the tooth.
The Dodgers are fine. They understand that being the top seed is not super important on the path to the World Series
 
Padres OF Samad Taylor catches ball at the warning track, hits the wall, drops the ball on the other side of the wall. Home run.

Makes me wonder if he's related to Don Denkinger, who made the infamous missed call during game six of the 1985 World Series (sarcasm). :shifty::shifty::shifty::shifty:
 
Tried to watch the NBC game today. Five minutes in was talking about single game parlays.

Now watching the 1977 Rose Bowl on YouTube.

Apparently umpires have egos at all levels of play. The Women's Professional Baseball League is in its first season. They only have two umpires (meaning they miss most of the bang bang plays) and no replay. Last month in a game, the infield umpire turns away from a line drive, so she doesn't see the SS catch it, who throws it to 3B to double up the runner. Umpire who didn't see the play rules it a trap instead of a catch. Home plate umpire... defends infield umpire's honor by agreeing with her? Then the manager gets thrown out of the game.

I've tried to follow via highlights, it is some brutally bad baseball.
 
Play is subpar. Imagine what the MLB would be like if there was no youth baseball, no high school baseball, no college baseball, no minor league baseball and your best players came from softball. There are a handful of players who were good enough to play for their high school baseball team or an independent league team, and then the rest are softball players or athletes who were good enough to make it through the open tryouts.

There will need to be girls and women's baseball for many years to increase the talent level.

That game I told you about where the umpire didn't see the play but made a definitive call anyway, a runner tried to steal second base, the catcher's throw was high and wide and made the 2B jump, and they still got the runner.
