Gave my first lesson in baseball today to my English husband. I drew pictures. I explained the strike zone with pictures. It was going well until he asked if all the fielders also batted. I said they did in the NL, but not the AL. I then taught him that the DH sucks.

@notgaetti I understand you're an oldhead who doesn't LIKE statistics, but being involved in the baseball world for this long it's shocking to me how you actually know NOTHING about them

The Baseball Lady just dropped the best Kent Hrbek-themed pun of 2026 and it’s not close

@notgaetti I only saw him play in the 1991 World Series. From what I saw, he had a very hands-on approach.

@MLB If he'd missed the ball with his glove, his hair no doubt could have stopped it.

@coachdenny1 Ah. I'm reminded of the movie The Sting. The horse race and the bet that Robert Shaw put down -- everything was delayed.

@thebravesplease From what I am seeing through my Yahoo fantasy sports page, they seem to be about 2 pitches ahead of what I am seeing on TV, so I’m guessing TV must have a delay built into it

Braves game has zero tension for me. Runs go up on my screen before they're even scored. Been happening all game.

@notgaetti Just googled him. He's now an assistant hitting coach for the Brewers. I did not know that. Braves organist used to play Toccata and Fugue in D minor when he went up to bat. In addition to the Bach connection, it fit the scary mood one felt when he came to the plate.

Just throwing this out there… Is Ronald Acuña Jr available via trade right now? 🤔 Imagine Acuña in Marlins teal. 🔥

Neither of these grievous misplays by Oneil Cruz go as errors in the scorebook, meaning that all of the runs are earned by Paul Skenes, who was only able to record two outs in the inning. His final line of 5 ER across 0.2 IP gives him a 67.50 ERA.

@beccasbraves I don't understand the outcry. I want the USA to win. So even though he's a Brave, I'm hoping he goes 0-4. I think he'd understand that.

If you’re mad about this, then you’re ridiculous, btw. Playing for your country is always gonna mean a little something extra than playing for your job. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t also want to win for Atlanta. It’s just two totally different things
BaseballHistoryNut@nut_history

Ronald Acuña Jr.: “This is No. 1 for me in my career. I love Atlanta a lot, but before I played in Atlanta, I was born in Venezuela. Venezuela made Ronald Acuña Jr.” I can’t say I blame him. Winning for your country that’s never won anything must be one of the greatest feelings in the world. Atlanta Braves fans also seem to be rooting for him to beat the US

@notgaetti Absolutely not feeling the 'requisite level of shame.' I'm not sure he's feeling any whatsoever. But he looked on in disbelief, so I'll have to be satisfied with that.

Oh dear, oh no, oh goodness 1. Watch this pimp job, this ferocious bat chuck, this abject display of “I own you” machismo 2. Watch the ball land in the LF’s glove

@notgaetti Lazy people like me, I suppose. They're just so easy to use. But I recently replaced my laptop with a MacBook & I'm loving it. When my phone contract ends next year, I'll probably switch to an iPhone.

Absolutely insane that GB are facing Tarik Skubal tonight. This was the GB lineup for the European Championships in 2014. I (kinda) had tryouts for this team. I’ve played with or against 95% of the guys on this roster. Insane progress.
