@noahgittell Maybe it should be 25% in the strike zone?

It is fucking hilarious that the point of ABS was to be sure when a strike is a strike, and now people are like “hear me out, what if a strike is not a strike?”

@TheMetsX Yes, you did not keep the ball in the yard!

Unpopular opinion: If you leave the ground and your ENTIRE BODY lands in the crowd, it should still be a Home Run

@joemachi Happy Easter back to you!

Happy Easter!

@AriA1exander Maybe it should have to be 25% in?

I don’t want to see any whining about this. It’s been based off of vibes forever and now it’s standardized. If it says strike, it’s a strike.

@BarstoolNate I agree. Where did the ball end up? You did not prevent it from leaving the yard

My hottest sports take is if you don't get 2 feet down on the field with the ball in your glove then it should be a HR. Ppl are gonna yell at me but this is no different than a WR jumping while in bounds and catching the ball out of bounds.

@chadfelixg But it does impact our perception of him which can impact our relationship. I’m writing a book related to this

I've never met a Christian who is fully comfortable in their faith care at all what Jesus may or may not have looked like.

@nut_history I was thinking the same thing. The ball has left the yard and you failed to stop it!

Alright, I’ll open the can of worms. If you land on the other side of the wall with the ball in your glove, it should be a homer.

@AzPetrich And the picture on the left is too handsome. Jesus was average looking

Just a reminder for Christian's celebrating Easter this week. Jesus looked like the guy in the first picture - not the second.

@nut_history @DrJimNoble Then who does the tie go to?

@DrJimNoble Not an actual rule. It’s one of the biggest myth in Major League Baseball history

Safe or out

@james_xond I would not have gotten the shot

Be honest…If you could go back, would you make the same choice about the COVID shot?

@traceyh415 Yes. No problems

Anyone get the shingles vaccine? I keep putting it off but I feel like it is time.

@midmajorball $$$$ bs. $$$$ bs $$$$ …..

John Groce on why he took the Charleston job. He led Akron to the NCAA Tournament in three of the last four years.

@NickCaminoWKYC Lucky! Wait until they start to hit. And that horrendous logo.

The #Guardians just took 2-out-of-3 from the #Dodgers in Los Angeles. Below is a list of payrolls for the 2026 season. LAD at No. 2 CLE at No. 30

@schadjoe Now let players do pop up slides at second and third base to eliminate the stupid challenges of remaining on the base.

Let’s give credit to MLB for all the ways they have made the game better Pitch clock Bigger bases ABS challenges Shift ban Pickoff limits Mound visit limits One foot in batter’s box Three batter minimum Pitchcom Extra innings ghost runner Impressive list 👏

@ClayTravis Very soon!

Honest question how close are we to robot/AI umpires? If we have self driving cars couldn’t we have umpires that are essentially 100% accurate? Look at this missed call. Every pitch now could be AI. Feels inevitable:

@james_xond Yes

When people get in their 50s and 60s and up, do you start thinking about how many years you have left? I’m curious..

@Nithya_Shrii If only I knew this when I was 25!

Honestly, the older you get, the more you realize your managers are not better than you.

@__MIKEYMAC__ The mid majors need a separate tournament

The NCAA has to fix the portal issue. Either limit the number of times a player can portal or figure out a way to compensate the school that did all the work in developing the player. You want to know why no mid-majors made runs in this year's tourney? They're just farm clubs.
