Marlins Officially Leave FanDuel Sports; Games will be run by MLB - Details Inside
The Heat have found a new home on WPLG channel 10: WPLG Local 10 Becomes the Home of the Miami HEAT Video Report When are the Marlins gonna get their shit together!đ¤Ŧ If the Heat and the Panthers can do it, why can't the Marlins? By the way: The Heat's app is gonna be free. That's another thing the Marlins should do. But I guess the league owns their broadcast rights. Apparently the Heat or WPLG own the Heat's broadcast rights.

Marlins at Dodgers April 29th
Where is everybody? The Marlins won!đ¤¯ So excruciatingly close to a sweep. It would've likely been a series loss if not for that un-conventional double play.

Marlins at Dodgers April 27th
Are the Marlins planning on fixing their bullpen, or are they gonna have 120 blown saves? They might-as-well let us pitch.

Marlins vs Yanks - April 5 - 1:35
According to the radar, the rain won't be gone until 5PM. But there's still plenty of day left, so I don't think there'll be a rain out.

4/3 at Yankees - 1 PM
On ESPN.COM where it shows you what channels the game is on, it says this game is on WFOR channel 4. I wonder if other games will be on that channel too. I'm in Palm Beach County and I need a better antenna, so I can't check myself.

March 31 vs the Sox, no not them, the other Sox
Good. They've forgiven us for all those German tourists that were killed around here 25-30 years ago.

March 31 vs the Sox, no not them, the other Sox
That might come in handy if intentional walks weren't automatic now and the the intentional walk process was started with 2 strikes already in the count and and the pitcher threw one of the i-walk pitches too close to the strike zone. Is there any other situation when it might come in handy? Trying to delay a game to get a rainout win?

Early Returns From The ABS System
MLB 2026: Best, worst automated balls-and-strikes challenges Why didn't the writer tell us how many strike calls were changed to balls and how many ball calls were changed to strikes? I'm very curious to know. I remember last season alot more balls were wrongly called strikes than vice-versa, so it's probably like that so far this season and the ABS will probably help batters more than pitchers. This story validates my analysis: Yankees go 5-for-5 on ABS challenges in loss to Mariners At least 4 of the reviewed pitches were strike calls changed to balls. The article doesn't mention the 5th reviewed pitch. I guess eventually the umpires will adjust their strike zone accordingly. It'll be interesting to see how the ABS system effects the balance of power. Right now it's a pitchers league. I guess it always is a pitcher's league, but it's been more so than usual in recent years. Is it possible that the umpires will be so embarrassed by so many overturned calls that they'll go on strike over it?đ¤Ŗ

I don't know if I'm allowed to post a whole article, but here it is: My cable company (Hotwire) missed the deadline.âšī¸ So it won't be until at least next season that the Marlins will have a new proper TV home? Or is it gonna be like this from now on? We're shifting away from linear TV to streaming anyway. Although I prefer linear TV. Maybe I'm just a Luddite. A ghetto team on bootleg channels.đ

World Baseball Classic General Discussion
That was ball 4, but it was too close for the batter to take. Wasn't it? Why didn't the Dominicans lose their minds? They're lack of a reaction made it really confusing.đ Shouldn't thay have had the ABS system in place? It's gonna be used this coming season in MLB. Right? So it's ready to go. Why did MLB go with an ABS challenge system instead of letting it call all the balls and strikes? Maybe they wanted to transition to a computerized strike zone slowly instead of jumping right in?

MLB Parity/Salary Cap Discussion
Some people think a salary cap wouldn't help. I really want to disagree with them, but they sound like they know what they're talking about: https://www.forbes.com/sites/maurybrown/2025/04/30/the-illusion-that-a-salary-cap-in-major-league-baseball-will-create-parity/ Here's another article on the subject from ESPN.com from 4 days ago: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/47620464/mlb-2026-kyle-tucker-los-angeles-dodgers-free-agency-labor-cba-offseason
