They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Did anyone outside that area root for the Indians?
Oh yeah, of course, Columbus, Akron, Canton and Youngstown all had their fair share of Indians fans. 

Did they all become Cleveland Guardians fans all of a sudden? 

Convenient opportunity to turn the page, imo.

The Indians and Redskins wasted fantastic opportunities......could have chosen any mascot they wanted....and wound up with Guardians and Commanders.

What in the actual hell?

The Apple TV broadcasts of Friday night baseball is brutal.

I have no idea who this is targeting. Who even knows that they are doing the Friday night broadcast now, and they're just flashing random probabilities at the bottom, and Apple music links for the walk-up music

 
It feels like a decision made by an MLB executive, whose entire pitch was "people watch streaming now" and so they did it.  The presentation is awful, the stats they are flashing at the bottom, feels like they are trying to be advanced, but they are useless. It's mostly reach base probability.  Which is neither advanced, nor helpful for gambling. And nobody hears 5 seconds of walk-up music, and needs the QR code to buy the song on Apple music

My favorite Bull Durham clip
That entire movie is my favorite clip.  It's my favorite sports movie.

We should have a list of great sports movies.
