“Bladder Spasms” would be a better name for a baseball team than the one the powers that be chose for the new Amarillo team. They pretended the name was chosen by a public vote, but then made sure the vote count was never published because they had already chosen the horrid name and just had the vote to make it look like the public was involved. I like baseball and will go to the games, but I won’t buy any gear and will either root just for “Amarillo” or maybe the visiting team.
I am impressed by all the stats that sports mark these days, but kind of feel sorry for the guys who have to notice them. “Another slider. And another slider.” “No, that was a curve!” “Wait, what did he throw while we were arguing about the slider?” “Maybe a fastball?”
In the majors, they often put their best outfielder in right field, but in adult softball, it’s still where you stick the guy who’s more liability than asset. I know, because I have played a LOT of right field.
