so here's what I will say about what I have learned in reporting on the #WPBL:
they certainly do not seem to understand the level of expectations that fans had for this league, especially the level of detail that the target audience has.

So...now the barnstorming games will be BEFORE the regular season? But what about the players who will also be in the World Cup?

I am absolutely taken with this idea. One of the underdiscussed things in the whole debate about too many HRs and strikeouts getting more action on the field is that defenses are so fucking good now. We need to factor that in to get back to a more dynamic product. Here's how:

Ichiro is Baseball. ⚾️
At last year’s Mariners Spring Training, Ichiro showed up unannounced, by himself & casually did his thing.
When I asked why he was there, a Mariners staffer shrugged: “Oh, he just shows up whenever he wants.”
There were maybe 3 people watching.

Hi everyone let's talk about the Carlisle 52 series of cups, in particular the Carlisle 5216, a topic about which I am extremely normal. In my estimation, a triumph of thoughtful industrial design and is probably my favorite ever mass produced object. 🧵
