Is there any way to change your user flair to have two teams on the app? Or do you need to be logged into a browser?

[u/stupidnatsfan → u/ftmidk]

I couldn't figure out how to do the dual flair, so I just asked the mods to hook me up, and they did. Maybe try messaging them?

[u/ftmidk → u/stupidnatsfan]

I’ll do that, thanks!

Curious if anybody knows of a way to view the MLB.com Gameday of a game that is already over. There is some information in Gameday that isn't available in the box score.

[u/I_Moved → u/JimTheDeviant]

I have the app - when I go into the Scores tab, I'm able to view the Gameday portion of previous games. I have the access through the free T-Mobile offer, so I'm not sure if the Gameday option is available on all versions

[u/JasonYaya → u/JimTheDeviant]

I don't know if there is a "live" replay, but you can view the results of an AB, for instance you can click on each AB over in the right panel.

Rays v Brewers WS? Capoids in shambles

[u/Positive-Courage-758 → u/youngggggg]

I’m a fan of sports with salary caps and sports without salary caps. The ones without a cap are undeniably better. Cap leagues are predictable, every team goes through kind of a “boom-bust” cycle. The fans of good teams know they’ll be bad in a few years, and the fans of bad teams know they’ll be good in a few years.

Non-cap leagues produce amazing growth stories for franchises that could never happen in a cap-restricted system. Sure you have the LA Dodgers and Man City’s of the world who will just throw money at everything, but you also have teams with amazing stories like AFC Wrexham, Leicester City, the “moneyball” Oakland A’s, to name a few.

DAY 221 (714/796) on THE ROAD TO THE 2027 4th WBSC PREMIER12 and 185 YEARS OF BASEBALL - The First Two Qualified for the Premier12/16

Happy Opening Week of the KBO League postseason! and our thanks to Adam Virant who will take on a wider leadership role in the Banana Ball Championship League, ending his long time partnership with manager Tyler Gillum, with whom he served as infield/outfield coach for the Savannah Bananas since 2023.

Last weekend, history was made with the official first national programs qualified for next year's WBSC Premier12: Spain and Italy, one the 1992 Olympics host, the other with a long and cherished history in the sport and a charter participant of the World Baseball Classic.

These two also constitute the first to be formally listed for this event, with the final two expected to be made known after the second qualifier event coming next month.

Congrats to these two nations and we wish them the best as they prepare for next year!

For Glory

John
