WHY IS IT SO HARD JUST TO WATCH A BASEBALL GAME NOWADAYS!!! I JUST WANT IT TO BE ON ONE CHANNEL OR STREAMING SERVICE WITH NO BLACKOUT RESTRICTIONS APPLIED!!!!!!!
LOW KEY, I FEEL BAD THAT THE FRONT OFFICE SHIT WITH PRIDE NIGHT HAS STILL AFFECTED YOUR TEAM TO THIS DAY. THEY SHOULD HAVE HANDLED THIS LIKE ADULTS. ALSO, THE RIVALRY IS BETTER WHEN ONE TEAM DOESN'T COMPLETELY FUCKING SUCK.
The internet. Reactionary culture and keyboard tribalism have made it absolutely insufferable to be a part of a team-specific subreddit. There's zero room for civil discourse around things and it's a constant stream of hot takes. My eyes cannot roll any further back in response. Sticking to watching the Mets and not participating in the discussions online has actually improved my season, which a pretty amazing feat when you consider how nearly unwatchable the team has been.
Edit: SORRY I MISSED THE MEME FORMAT COMPLETELY HERES A REDO THE FANS ARE CRYING ABOUT THE TEAM TOO MUCH TO USE LOGIC AND IT MAKES WATCHING THE METS MORE DIFFICULT IF DO BOTH WATCH AND READ AND ALSO STEARNS IS AN IDIOT
TO BE FAIR THAT’S THIS SUB TOO, THIS IS JUST A BUNCH OF TEAM SPECIFIC THREADS STANDING PARALLEL TO ONE ANOTHER WHICH ARE DIRECTED BY THE TEAM BEING FOCUSED ON IN THE POST, CAP UP
WHILE THATS TRUE, PEOPLE WHO ARENT FANS OF YOUR TEAM WILL DISCUSS THEM ON THIS SUB AT LEAST. THAT LEADS TO MORE REASONABLE TAKES WHEN IT COMES TO THINGS LIKE REBUILDING/ RESIGNING A TEAMS TALENT.
WE ARE ALL (MOSTLY) MORE REASONABLE ABOUT TEAMS WE ARE NOT AS EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN. AND IF YOU GO AND READ OTHET TEAM SUBS, YOU SEE THAT WE’RE ALL COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME FEW THINGS AND TEND TO THINK WE’RE THE ONLY ONES WHOSE TEAM HAS THE PROBLEMS WE DO.
THAT’S FUNNY, I’M INCREDIBLY SENTIMENTAL AND EMOTIONAL ABOUT MY BASEBALL TEAM AND I’VE LEARNED HOW TO ENJOY A BAD BASEBALL TEAM (I HAD NO CHOICE IF I WANTED TO REMAIN A MARINERS FAN, THE 2010’S HAD SOME ROUGH YEARS) BUT IT TAKES A MINDSET SHIFT TO DISMANTLE DISAPPOINTMENT FROM UNMET EXPECTATIONS FIRST. I’M NOT READY TO DO THAT.
YOU ARE CLEARLY NOT ANNOYED ENOUGH BY IT IF YOU USE THE TINY LETTERS! BIG LETTERS FOR BIG COMPLAINTS! EVERY TIME A REDDITOR SAYS A PLAYER/TEAM “SUCKS” REMIND THEM THAT THE PLAYER/TEAM THEY THINK “SUCKS” IS STILL BETTER AT BASEBALL THAN THEY WILL PROBABLY BE AT ANYTHING IN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES AND “SUCKING” IS RELATIVE.*
I’M IN AWE THAT ANYONE CAN HIT A 100 MPH BASEBALL FROM 60’ AWAY EVEN IF THEY ONLY DO IT ONE OUT OF TEN TIMES THEY TRY ON AVERAGE. I WOULD BAT .000 AND BE KNOW THROUGHOUT THE LEAGUE FOR MY TACTIC OF CRYING UNTIL THE PITCHER FEELS BAD ENOUGH TO THROW ME A SOFT ONE OVER THE PLATE THAT I WOULD PROMPTLY SWING ON AND MISS.
*UNLESS THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE YANKEES, IN WHICH CASE THEY ARE CORRECT.
I ESPECIALLY HATE THIS IN BASEBALL WHEN IT'S A 162 GAME SEASON AND YOUR TEAM MAYBE LOSES 4 OUT OF THEIR LAST 10 EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS AND THE FANS IN THE SUB STILL BITCH AND MOAN AS IF THE APOCALYPSE IS HERE. JESUS CHRIST CALM THE FUCK DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP, THE TEAM IS FINE.
IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR YANKEES PLAYERS TO BE LIKABLE I NEED TO WATCH DEEPFAKES OF JUDGE TRICKING OLD LADIES INTO CASHING THIER SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK AND BUYING HIM GOOGLE PLAY GIFT CARDS JUST TO FALL ASLEEP AT NIGHT OR I WILL BE SWALLOWED WHOLE BY THE EXISTENTIAL DREAD MISSING AARON JUDGE CAUSES ME
MY FAVORITE AARON JUDGE VIDEO IS THE ONE WHERE THEY ASK THE TEAM WHAT THEIR FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN NYC IS AND 10 GUYS SHARE THEIRS, THEN JUDGE SAYS "ALL OF THEM. ALL OF THEM ARE GREAT." HE'S LITERALLY MR. PEANUTBUTTER
I LOVE BEING REGULAR SEASON KINGS BUT AM TIRED OF THE BREWERS NOT TRADING FOR AN IMPACT PLAYER AND JUST HOPING THAT THE DODGERS WON'T PLAY WELL FOR ONE SERIES.
WE TRADE FOR IMPACT PLAYERS IN THE OFFSEASON. DON'T ACT LIKE WE DON'T EVER DO SHIT.
ALSO, WE ARE EARLY. CHOURIO, PRATT, LARA, AND THE YOUNGEST ROTATION IN BASEBALL IS THE TEAM WE ARE BUILDING FOR. NOT THIS ONE. IF WE MAKE A BIG TRADE, IT SHOULDN'T BE A RENTAL. IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT ADDS ONTO WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE PLANNED.
WE AREN'T GOING TO SWAY FROM THE PROCESS THE YEAR BEFORE A POTENTIAL LOCKOUT.
I KNOW THE PROCESS IS WHAT WORKS, AND I DON'T WANT TO BLOW IT UP TO GO IN FOR ONE SEASON. IMPACT TRADES IN FEBRUARY MATTER MORE THAN THE TRADES MADE IN JULY. STILL FRUSTRATING NONETHELESS
BECAUSE EGO AND LOW IQ JOCKS AND FUCK ROBERTS HE SHOULD PICK A SIDE AND NOT
PRETEND THINGS ARE NORMAL BUT INSTEAD HE SHOWS UP AND JERKS OFF THAT SICK SOCIOPATH IN THE OVAL
BURN THE SHIT DOWN. YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE IN 2017, 2021, 2024, BUT NO, YOU CHOSE SPENDING MONEY ON VETS AND LARGE CONTRACTS. YOU FUCKS. I WOULD RATHER LOOSE 100 GAMES PLUS WITH A NO NAME ROSTER THAN THIS SHIT YOU PUT ON THE FIELD.
MY FEED WHEN I OPENED THE APP WAS BACK TO BACK TO BACK TWEETS FROM BOOB SAYING “BIG TEAM IS INTERESTED IN TALENTED YOUNG COST CONTROLLED PLAYER” WHY THE FUCK DOES HE GET PAID TO SAY NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE SO OFTEN
I AM SO ANGRY THAT WE UTTERLY SHIT THE BED IN THE SPRING AND NOW WE HAVE TO CLAW OUR WAY CLOSER TO A WILD CARD SPOT OR ELSE WE WILL BE SELLERS AT THE DEADLINE
FUCK Apple TV. I already pay too much to Sportsnet to watch a HORRIFICALLY underperforming team, why THE FUCK should I pay to watch it on a SECOND shitty platform? Fuck you MLB for doing this
AND FUCK SPORTSNET FOR RAISING THEIR RATES AND FUCK ROGERS FOR OWNING ALMOST EVERY PRO TEAM IN THIS CITY AND FUCK BELL AND ROGERS FOR EVERYTHING AND FUCK DUOPOLIES.
DALTON RUSHING HAS BEEN OUR MAIN CATCHER SINCE EARLY JUNE BECAUSE WILL SMITH “USED THE WRONG PILLOW” WHICH SOMEHOW LANDED HIM ON THE 60 DAY IL FOR AN INDEFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME
I DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR ENERGY TO LIST EVERYTHING THAT I WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. SO I'M JUST GOING TO LIST THE PLAYERS WHO ARE NOT FOR SALE THIS DEADLINE.
I'M GOING TO ENTER MY PASSWORD ON MLB.COM TO WATCH TODAY'S GAME, JUST LIKE I DID THE DAY BEFORE THAT, AND THE DAY BEFORE THAT, AND THE DAY BEFORE THAT...
YESTERDAY THE WHITE HOUSE TOOK $100M AWAY FROM POOR FAMILIES IN CALIFORNIA AND THE DODGERS REWARDED HIM WITH A WORLD SERIES WIN, JACKIE WOULD BE FURIOUSLY ASHAMED
STOP PLAYING BACK-TO-BACK ANIMATIONS OF BAXTER CLAPPING OR MAKING A LIGHTNING BOLT AND JUST LET ME WATCH BASEBALL. I PROMISE I KNOW BALL WELL ENOUGH TO KNOW WHEN TO CHEER
FOSTER, LUIS, AND CJ NEED TO STAY PUT. EXTEND FOSTER AND CJ NOW!!! WE HAVE THREE DOZEN SHORTSTOP PROSPECTS. TRADE A COUPLE OF THEM FOR A SERVICEABLE BULLPEN ARM OR TWO!!!
