The Mets are spineless pussies who couldn't get it done

The Mets are just a bunch of spineless pussies and they just couldn't get it done. Pete Alonso was out the door before the game ended. They're gonna get their teeth kicked in by the Dodgers.

OpinionBaseballHot
The Mets collapsed spectacularly in 2025, going from the best record in baseball (45-24) to missing the playoffs entirely after a 38-55 second-half collapse. They indeed 'couldn't get it done.'

MLB is intentionally stealing home runs by making baseball seams higher

Rob Man-fraud is back. They're trying to steal dingers from you... the seams on the baseballs this year are higher than they have been in the past and it's stealing dingers away from everybody.

Fact ClaimBaseballMediumSarcastic
MLB admitted to a change in drag, though they claimed it was unintentional manufacturing variance rather than a conspiracy.

The 'Sampson Effect' causes players to perform worse when they join the Yankees and have to shave

If you have to cut your hair or shave to change your personal appearance, I bet it throws you off Sampson effect. I bet you it's almost every player that goes there... Randy Johnson shave his beard when he sucked, when he was in the eighties.

OpinionBaseballMedium
While some players declined (Randy Johnson, Cole), others like Gerrit Cole won a Cy Young (2023) despite the shaving rule.

The Braves vs. Astros World Series will not interest a national audience

I feel bad the sport of the MLB. Cause like, let's be honest, Braves Astros. Doesn't really get the needle moving for a national audience.

OpinionBaseballMedium
The 2021 World Series averaged 11.75 million viewers, which was a significant increase from 2020 but historically lower than the mid-2010s.

Gerrit Cole is going to 'shove' in the World Series

Gerrit Cole is about to show you... he's gonna shove. I'm saying it's gonna shove.

PredictionBaseballMild
Cole pitched well in Game 5 (1 ER in 7 IP), but he took the loss in Game 1 (5 ER in 7 IP). Overall, he was solid but not overwhelmingly dominant in the series loss.

Betting the 'over' in baseball is a lock when the weather is extremely hot

I bet every over in baseball this weekend thinking that the heat would help it... the ball just goes out farther when it's hot... the air is thinner.

PredictionBaseballMedium
While heat does increase flight distance, 'betting every over' is rarely a profitable long-term strategy.

The Aaron Judge slump is caused by participating in the Home Run Derby

The Aaron Judge, did he fuck up his swing, is fully back. He's like one for 14 right now. I think we called that before the home run derby even started, right?

OpinionBaseballMedium
Judge had a notable slump in August 2017 after the Derby, though he finished the season strong. The 'Home Run Derby Curse' is a common but debated theory.
