Have you seen the new 3D function in the game day function? It appears to give you a live representation of the trackman data. You can move the camera angle to almost anywhere on the field. As graphics and processing advances I can imagine this removes the need for actual cameras and camera men.

On the broadcast today Randazo said that Arozarena was traded by the Cardinals because he took a Snapchat video of Mike Shildt in the locker room. I could NOT find any information about this. Does anyone know anything about this story? Did Wayne just let out a story no one is supposed to talk about or did he confuse it for someone else? Edit, I found this story about the video but can't find anything saying this provoked the trade. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/27809815/locker-room-video-shows-cardinals-manager-expletive-filled-speech

This link is cued to the moment they start talking about their inside info

Last night I had a dream that I was part of the Angels' front office staff and I had to PLEAD with Perry Minasian to just listen to the argument that, the future be damned, the team had to make the playoffs while Trout and Ohtani were on the same team. ALL the prospects needed to be bait to fix the bullpen. I'm 49 and I'm having nightmares that should be reserved for baseball fans entering puberty.

Jason Stark interviewed Joe Maddon on his podcast. The most important parts for Angels fans are how he impacted Ohtani (he let him loose) and why Arte didn't sell (he liked what Perry was adding to the team). He thinks Ohtani has to enter free agency and will be willing to pitch anywhere. https://theathletic.com/podcast/243-the-athletic-baseball-show/?episode=447https://theathletic.com/podcast/243-the-athletic-baseball-show/?episode=447 He's playing a lot of golf and no one is contacting him about managing except Japanese teams.

Nice job guys. @Chuckster70 you aren't wearing AW swag! What gives?

Unfortunately printing front and back really increases the cost, and if we have too many variations of any particular style it limits sales. People get option paralysis. (I think we have some of that now)

Just discovered that Google One gives me a free VPN. It works on my phone but not if I cast to my TV.

Anyone have advice for eating at the restaurant in right field. How early do you have to get there to get a table at the start of the game?

Which VPN are you using? I can never get a VPN to work with MLB.tv

I got mine! I switched from Cox internet to T-mobile home internet. I'm saving $33/month and now I even get the T-mobile tuesday deals.

Sam Miller was asked if Ryan Howard was the greatest victim of the shift. Here's part of his response If shortstops hadn't been planted in the outfield waiting for him to lumber to first base, it for sure wouldn't have been as infuriating to see him hitting 4th. full article here

Sam Miller is about to return to baseball writing. Hooray! https://pebblehunting.substack.com/about

Perry was on today's Baseball Tonight podcast with Buster Olney (about 30 minutes in) https://dcs.megaphone.fm/ESP2531385012.mp3?key=763fe298cbeed43c2332a52930dd8313&request_event_id=39f6925d-2e69-4787-ad2b-c0876dc2c335 1) He's glad to continue working with Arte and didn't ask about sales details 2) Pitching staff is important to improving the pitching and Ohtani sets the tone for work ethic 3) Billy gets credit for bringing in several key pitchers 4) Anderson is a professional and a competitor 5) Pitching and Defense are the staples 6) Not going to talk about extensions for Ohtani but HE LOVES HIM 7) Ohtani has great focus and will ignore trade speculation 8 ) Keeping things in house is important 9) He's excited for the new rules 10) The bigger base will have the biggest impact on the game

T.G. has destroyed my professional writing hopes.

They didn't say they didn't improve, in fact they say they will hold their own. They just think this is still a waste of Trout and Ohtani.

As I remember, Arte already has an equity stake in BSW. If MLB expects teams not to get paid, this would be a major factor in selling the team.

Keith Law and Justin Havens previewed the AL West and absolutely hate the Angels including all the new signings (except Anderson) https://theathletic.com/podcast/168-the-keith-law-show/?episode=114

I like Locked on Angels. John and Mike have a great energy. keep it up Halo Bros! ( I also really enjoyed Taylor)

The way Cohen is spending money Arte has got be be glad he's on his way out. Did he see this spending spree coming?

I'm planning on designing a Troutani shirt for the board. But, aside from just doing something interesting with the letters I have ZERO idea how to graphically illustrate the idea. I'm tapped out, no creativity available. Give me some ideas. Please delete anything that involves bears and lasers.

I'm looking to trade for the Star Wars Ohtani Bobblehead. I have any of these to offer. All new in box excepts Simmons.
