And now they postponed the game. With NO rain? What the hell? :confused:

Did the Guardians do this just so they wouldn't have to face Dylan Cease? :lol:

There was an Elton John concert Saturday and they put in new sod afterward. Supposedly that was the issue because of all the rain before the game.

Edit: The stadium organist even played "O Canada" (since they're playing the Blue Jays). Has this ever happened before? I mean, I've been to Yankee Stadium before when the Jays were in town, and I don't remember "O Canada" ever being played. I wonder what changed their minds...

It has been a while since I've paid any real attention to baseball, but I thought they used to play both anthems in US stadiums before games with teams from both countries.
 
^ Not regularly, no.

I did some checking, and apparently when the Expos would go on the road, some stadiums would play O Canada for them. This is the first time I've ever seen it happen with the Jays, though.

Edit: Yet another Omaha native (Nate Fisher) is playing for the Mets! W00t! :beer:

(Darin Ruf is the other)

The Cubs are shutting down Kyle Hendricks for the remainder of the season, as his newest MRI showed a tear in his shoulder capsule. He still hopes to begin a throwing program, but he's done pitching and is focusing on being ready for the beginning of next season.

Edit: It's worth noting that a torn anterior capsule is one of the injuries that killed Mark Prior (though he also had a torn labrum and rotator cuff). Shoulder injuries seem to be far more harmful than elbow issues to pitchers as of 2022, so it'll be interesting to see how Hendricks bounces back from this, because he was mostly brutal this season.

I thought it was Dusty Baker that killed Mark Prior :scream:
 
Click here for some impressive salt from Joe Maddon.

It's truly absurd that Joe Maddon, of all people, is bitching about “analytics” and FO personnel having outsized influence. The man built his entire managerial career by riding Andrew Friedman’s coattails in Tampa, where his willingness to try goofy shit the FO suggested earned him a reputation as a smart, unorthodox thinker. The further he got from Tampa, the more obvious it became that he’s just throwing shit at the wall nearly at random.

Just such a weird and dumb way for him to frame his distaste for the Angels and his firing there. Like, he almost gets to the real problem in Anaheim when he talks about the lack of infrastructure. No doubt the Angels FO doesn’t have the depth and breadth of tools to empower the coaching staff that Tampa did. But instead of pointing out that the Angels are half-assing their player development and coaching, he wraps it all into the stereotypical old guy bitching about nerds overstepping their bounds.

The competent front offices never blame their coaching staff for player failures, only the incompetent ones like Anaheim do that, and it’s got nothing to do with “analytics” or the expansion of FO reach into the dugout.
 
Per Jeff Passan, Walker Buehler had his second Tommy John surgery yesterday, and he's expected to miss all of the 2023 season.
 
All 30 Major League Baseball teams to play one another in a season for first time in 2023

All 30 teams will play one another in a season for the first time in the interleague era, Major League Baseball announced Wednesday as it released the schedule for the 2023 season.

As a result, division opponents will play each other just 13 times -- down from 19.

The new balanced schedule for 2023 has each team hosting a three-game series or playing a three-game series on the road against every team from the opposite league. Natural rivals -- like the Mets-Yankees, Dodgers-Angels and Cubs-White Sox -- will play each other four times, twice at home and twice on the road.

Good. I'm getting tired of seeing the same teams play each other like every other :censored:ing week. About time they put some variety into it.
 
Started watching the replay of a game on Amazon. They leave all the MLB.TV "Commercial break in progress" pauses in there, so I turned it off.

Don't worry, soon they will know when you need a new printer cartridge or a garden hose and fill in the holes. :shifty:
