No matter how cold the winter, there’s a springtime ahead. Cubs, Cornhuskers, Tar Heels, Pearl Jam, Star Wars, Dynasty, Crohn's, Bluesky: ebsoftball
Dear @MLB, your pace of play concerns are silly. Your blackout restrictions are ridiculous. And your policing of player uniforms is just trivial. If you want the game to grow, make it easier to access for fans! And start promoting your players! Sincerely, Every baseball fan
Two decades later and Ryne Sandberg’s words still echo throughout Cooperstown.
"SMART BASEBALL! SLASH DUMB BASEBALL BY THE SOX!" - Jim Deshaies after a high-IQ play by Nico Hoerner and low-IQ baserunning by the White Sox.
"And to the Miami Marlins-- Honestly, when you guys called to offer me a contract for 2015... I had never heard of your Team." 🤣🤣🤣
Dave Parker wrote a poem for his Hall of Fame induction that he asked his son, David II, read. It's flat-out incredible. Here's the transcript:
Daniel Palencia converted his 14th consecutive save opportunity on Sunday. He has a 1.43 ERA this season ⛽️
Nico Hoerner was thinking about the infield fly double play beforehand, knowing it was a possibility 😳
“The baseball IQ out of him … Through his veins and through his blood baseball.” Ben Brown on Nico Hoerner after Sunday’s win.
Cubs win the series and the crosstown trophy for the third straight year. White Sox win their first World Series game since 2023. Everyone goes home a winner.
These last 5 minutes haven’t been ideal. RBI double by Vaughn ties the Brewers game. And then Benintendi hits a 3 run homer to cut the Cubs lead to 5-4. How am I going to survive 2-3 more months of this?
Nico Hoerner has seen THIRTY-FOUR pitches today. That’s thirty-four with a 3 and a 4.
Cade Horton has that Kyle Hendricks excitability. Seems like a guy who won’t get rattled very often.
