I do not like nor hate your team - I don’t care. I call it like it is. Officiating Assignments, analysis and Q&A.
The ejection here is fine but is this how you want your officials to handle an ejection and confrontation? Multiple flippant wave offs, going nose to nose with manager and dropping F bombs? You do not see NFL or NBA officials behave like this. Calm and composure is required
Aaron Boone is ejected from the game after not agreeing with this strike three call on Volpe
Baseball is broken. It shocks me how many people just dismiss the very real concerns about MLB moving forward. There is no national appeal - it's all localized. I don't think it's trending towards becoming more competitive. Teams can't compete with Dodgers/Yankees
Rob Manfred says the state of baseball is no longer sustainable. The MLB commissioner is calling for a sweeping overhaul to the league’s economics as RSNs crumble and competitive balance concerns grow.
ABS Challenge can’t fix this. Good Lord
Umpire: Ramon De Jesus Final: Blue Jays 11, Tigers 4 #LightsUpLetsGo // #RepDetroit #TORvsDET // #DETvsTOR More stats for this ump 👇 umpscorecards.com/data/single-um…
Only sport with no accountability for its game officials. Not a Manfred fan but him pushing through with ABS challenge is the smartest thing he has done. Game changing misses need to be fixed. Every other sport has done this
"Walk" That appears to be a couple of big misses there from home plate umpire Mike Muchlinski. Bryan Woo's night is done. Eduard Bazardo now in.
A+. About as well handled by Social and Marketing Team as possible in this circumstance. As they used to say… any press is… good press? 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.
Well we certainly can’t

Can’t remember the last time ESPN made a good announcer decision in the NBA. Passing on Legler for LeBron’s #1 fan is well….. just as bad as canning JVG and Mark Jackson. But, on brand!
NEWS: Richard Jefferson has an agreement in place with ESPN and is expected to remain on The NBA Finals, while Doris Burke's spot is still in question, The Athletic has learned. nytimes.com/athletic/65069…
There is hope like I just tweeted for MLB. But they need to wrangle the National aspect and TV strategy sooner rather than later.

The WNBA/ESPN people want us to take the WNBA seriously and tune in to give the players the respect they deserve. Elle Duncan:
"We hope it gets a little bit more competitive. Because like a girls' trip to Cancun, right now, there's no D." Elle Duncan sums up the first half of the WNBA All-Star Game.
The WNBA loses money and survives because the NBA subsidizes the WNBA. So, are the WNBA players outside of Caitlin Clark offering to pay the NBA?
WNBA All-Stars make a statement.
It is unfortunate there is no sports on now to watch. This is easily the worst stretch of the year for sports fans
