@AmazonMGMStudio Is it gonna be made up bullshit like “Hidden Figures” or a realistic account of history?

Amazon MGM Studios has officially greenlit The Challenger, a limited series starring Kristen Stewart as astronaut and physicist Sally Ride, who in 1978 became the first American woman to fly in space.

@FreddieTheOsFan Its current start is perfect. A ray of sunshine at the end of the long winter, no other sports on the calendar to distract, an appetizer to get people excited about baseball just before opening day. But they’re supposed to change that because Tarik Skubal only threw 40 pitches?

The only timeframe it’s likely to receive zero interference from the MLB season is if it immediately follows the World Series. Not sure if the players would be up for that.
Years ago, a team of MLB players would go to Asia in early November for a few games. Anyone remember that?

Moving the WBC the middle of the season is a dumb idea and should never be considered

@NeoGeo12 @Phooey777 @orange_peelbeef So she fucked over another innocent woman somewhere in the future.

@Phooey777 @orange_peelbeef Tony lives a life of the ends justify the means. She has a moral center. She wanted vengeance but not enough to make a faustian bargain with Tony Soprano.

@orange_peelbeef Yup. A rapist is alive and free to attack another woman because Melfi wanted to feel morally good about herself.

Dune (1984) gets written off, even by Lynch, but the film’s worldbuilding is doing its own thing. Baroque sets, strange textures, and a future that feels alien in a way few sci-fi films even attempt. It’s rough, but there’s nothing else like it.

Honest question…when was the last time an MLB player had the amount of pressure on their back as Aaron Judge?
English
@INTLBaseball24 Yeah OK. And the insurance issue disappears in mid-season? When guys have 90 games under their belts and the subsequent strains and injuries that go along with that?
English
@LordsBaron NPB and KBO would absolutely shut down for the WBC. They’ve done it for the Olympics and this is a bigger deal than that. MLB teams by rule cannot actually stop a player with insurance from competing. It is ultimately the player’s decision.
English
IMO, a big reason MLB would explore a mid season WBC is to be able to hold the event in places like Yankee stadium that has a significantly higher capacity than Loan Depot. A PR/DR pool play game would be packed. Same with USA/Mexico at Dodger Stadium

@INTLBaseball24 So you gonna shut down the KBO and NPL? You gonna tell all of those owners they don’t get that revenue anymore? Also, you think a team a game out of first place in July is sending ANYONE? Mid-season makes it into just corny sideshow.
English
@LordsBaron The current time is NOT perfect. At all. Almost every single team has lost a significant amount of players due to spring training. Mexico, a semifinalist from 2023, was decimated by absences. There are absolutely other sports in this window.
English
@INTLBaseball24 That’s on the league to come to terms with. They have a fantastic property on their hands, but their being short-sighted about playing time is what’s killing them. You can blow out a knee or an elbow in the Grapefruit League just as easily as you can in WBC pool play
English
Mid season is the heat of the pennant race. How would this work schedule wise? Would players leave their teams for a period of time? Would MLB games keep going? Would MLB games just pause until WBC games are done? How does this make sense?

@JLas43_ Monumentally stupid idea. The current start time is absolutely perfect. No other sports on tv, perfect lead up to opening day, feels like the first ray of sunshine after the long winter. Are the KBO and NPL gonna shut down too? So stupid.

@PigTownSports @bmore_sports8 That’s Washington DC, where the money is plentiful. This is Baltimore, where it is not.

@bmore_sports8 It just helps business . The club thing is identical to the suites for the Nats . And that draws in a ton of money

It is crazy fans got excited about the renovations at Camden Yards and all we got was the 14th largest screen in baseball, new speakers, and a bunch of clubs that only 1% of the population in Baltimore can afford

@espn Stupid. Absolutely stupid, making it a mid-season circus act. The start time is perfect. No other sports on tv, at the end of a long winter, getting everyone baseball crazy just before opening day. Moving it would be idiotic.

@INTLBaseball24 Also, plopping it onto the MLB calendar just makes it an MLb exhibition game. While it started as that, it’s time to grow past that. The World Cup is not subordinate to the Premier League. Why should the WBC be?
English
@INTLBaseball24 It would be silly and filled with logistical issues. The current start time is perfect, acting like a beam of sunlight after the long winter, there are no other sports in that window and it’s a tasty appetizer to fire people up for opening day. There is no reason to change it

@Rationalbot You have sucking chest wound.
Your buddy has a sucking chest wound.
You both need to get carried to an LZ.
You are 265 lbs of sculpted muscle.
Your buddy is 195 lbs and lean.
Guess who is getting to the LZ first?
