MLB 2024: robot umps, please

ESPN made a chronological list of city connects with rankings.

My personal favorites:
1. Angels, these should be their regular uniforms.
2. Colorado when they wear white pants. They appear to have abandoned the green pants, which is good, because that just gave slow pitch softball vibes.
3. Brewers, hadn’t noticed the grill until this article. That’s a great nod to the tailgating culture.
4. Braves, good twist on the old uniforms.
5. Either the Nats cherry tree (though they should’ve made the whole jersey the color of the flower) or the Padres neon.

Worst:
1. Los Dodgers. The city connects are known for trying too hard, but this is worse. Throwing Los on the front like the NBA for their Latin nights.
2. Mets. Clearly a “well the Yankees don’t want one so the Mets get the design we had for them.”
3. Rangers. TX in old English font just looks like an R and makes me think it’s Rice.
4. Giants. It’s just not good, especially the generic G logo.
5. Philly, I like the design but the font makes it seem like they’re going for late 90s Xtreme.

I can't stand any of them with three exceptions
1. Colorado
2. Washington.
3. Brewers

San Diego, if the city likes them, are fine. I wouldn't buy one but again, if they represent the city's vibe, they're good.
 
The twins better have Minnie & Paul on theirs. Or the doom loon. Goddamn, I'd buy one if it were the doom loon.

B White Sox, Baltimore, Houston, Kansas City
C Texas, San Diego, Cubs, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Dodgers
D Mets, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia
F Boston
 
Not a fan of Giants creamsicle.

Seattle's looks the best. Don't get the Rockies love. Atlanta OK, if not just a redo of their old ones.

Whoever designed the Boston one should have their entire extended gene line executed.
 
TIL that the 1977 expansion that brought Seattle and Toronto into the AL was actually supposed to be four teams, Seattle and New Orleans in the AL, Toronto and Washington to the NL.

Kind of crazy to go through the possible butterfly effects had it actually happened.

I had never heard that. Interesting.
 
Dropping down the rabbit hole following that story led me to this beautiful image:

The Athletic wrote an article about the poor, misunderstood Angel Hernandez.

IMO, he may be a nice person outside the ballpark, but he's an arsehole once he steps on the field and a bad umpire to boot.
 
With the NCAA baseball tournament starting I was looking through the brackets and didn’t see Binghamton in there, which got me curious because they received $60 million for a new baseball stadium so I figured they would be dominating America East. But it turns out since the stadium opened they only made the NCAA’s once, after winning the conference tournament as a 3 seed. The next two years they went 12-12 and 10-14 in conference play.
 
One 1 seed has been eliminated so far. Arizona goes two and out. Other than that ECU is the only other 1 seed that has a loss, and they were able to win today to stay alive.

Evansville, who beat ECU, is onto the finals. Quite a few other 4 seeds are still alive as well, including Stetson eliminating Alabama earlier today.
 
Division 3 Birmingham Southern closed for good on Friday. Yesterday they hit a walk-off homer to stay alive in the World Series, now representing a school which no longer exists.

Walk-off.
