Mish has broken lots of Marlins and some national baseball news, but he's also guessed a ton and been wrong or at least somewhat inaccurate. I write for a few different fantasy baseball websites, and we are not allowed to use Mish as a source because he has been wrong so often. He's a prime example of the Twitter Journalism idea of "it's better to be first than to be right". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do have to ask, how is it that you write for websites that don't exist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream Baseball: Walking up to home plate and realizing you forgot to put on a pair of pants. Fantasy Baseball: Walking up to home plate and placing a protection spell on yourself because there's a literal dragon pitching. I prefer Fantasy! But Science Fiction Baseball wouldn't be bad either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and only a home run if it was to straightaway center field. Mines added to the playing field in certain innings. Just ... classic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongInTheAir Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 It was seriously such a fun game. A shame the pandemic hit, or we may have had that kind of baseball by now 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
