MLB 2026: The dying of the light

The day after being beaten 19-2 by the Cubs, the Mariners beat the Phillies 9-2 and Cal Raleigh hits 3 home runs.
 
At the start of the season, Arte Moreno didn't care about winning.

I wonder if Kroenke will try to build a winner or continue to be out of contention by April 30th.

Well, he owns Arsenal, the defending Premier League champions, and the LA Rams, who have done successively better in the playoffs the last three years. So he has a decent track record. But he is more concerned with how much money he can make on the land around the stadium (or relocating them to LA proper where he is guaranteed money)
To be fair, he financed a $5 billion stadium himself, so he has a good track record there, too.

Summary on the Dodgers ownership issues.

Walter outbids everyone for LAD by promising higher TV contract.
Walter creates own TV network to create higher TV revenue.
Walter funds TV network using his life insurance companies.
Walter's insurance companies did not disclose that these investments into the sports teams and networks were part of affiliated companies.
Somehow Magic Johnson becomes owners of one of the Life Insurance companies.
Also the Time Warner exec who helped back the TV network now works for Walter's investment company.


 
Umpire Doug Eddings tossing a player for wearing his hat a little too crooked. Apparently Doug Eddings never saw Fernando Rodney or Dontrelle Willis.

I find it hard to believe that in his 28 year MLB career, this is the first time he's seen a kid wear a hat a little crooked.

There's gotta be a database to see if a player/umpire combo took place.

Must have been a prop bet contract on Kalshi (the official prediction market ((don't you dare call it gambling!)) of Major League Baseball).

There's no rule regarding the wearing of the hat.

There is no MLB-wide rule specifically prohibiting players from wearing their hats crooked; however, some teams may have their own standards regarding cap alignment. Players often wear their caps askew for personal expression or comfort, as seen with some notable players.
 
Tiresome is the word for tonight's hi-jinx at NY-NY.

Though is appropriate to commemorate the day we lost our civil liberties and our civil rights.

Somewhere, Osama smiles.
