I hope Jeter gave him a gift basket on his way out the door.

I completely get that rational, except for the small fact that there aren’t “KKK” signs hanging in outfield corners. The letter K simply gets hung up multiple times, and at one point in time, there will only be 3 of them.

Because people assume racism? Once the answer is given (it’s not hard to just say “K means strikeout, and they’re counting strikeouts”), the confusion ends.

The following part is “C”, the final paragraph, which the comment I was responding to mentioned. This was a good article until that last part.

Also, the article just went into detail as to why K was originally chosen. What randomness?

ALL LETTERS CAN BE USED TO SPELL BAD THINGS AND THEREFORE ARE SCARY; WE MUST NOT REST UNTIL THE ALPHABET WE KNOW IS ABOLISHED AND A NEW, KINDER ALPHABET RID OF HATRED IS INTRODUCED!

Yeah, this article should have been formatted as “A. Haha look at this moron on Twitter” followed by “B. This is the story about where the ‘K’ notation came from and why it’s used in parks today!”

Not only that, but opposing fans slowly repeating the name “Daryl” was descended from a dehumanization technique used to strip chattel slaves of their former identity in the 18th century

“For any knowledgable baseball fan, that’s basically irrelevant and easy to ignore, but for newcomers to the game, it can raise concerns. Last year, during Game 7 of an instantly legendary World Series, the triple-K was displayed, and people somewhat understandably moaned.”

The sheer randomness of their inception, though, means it would be totally fine if we one day decided to change them, too.

Think of the impact he could have on average MLB game length stats if he just intentionally walked all these guys instead of actually pitching to them. It would save his arm some work, too.

Hopefully that fire doesn’t get out of hand. I don’t know how he’d be able to explain the damage to his wives.

Being a Marlins fan I remember the LoMo experience. He would get on a hot streak for a series or two and make you think he was finally playing up to his potential. Around this time is when you would encounter funny, likeable LoMo on twitter.

“I remember when I had 14 home runs,” Morrison said. “That was a month and a half ago.”

Hayward Prefers ‘Tics Over ‘Eat, ‘Azz

The ‘Tics? Fuck you and your dog too

Yeah everybody. I posted before the update and misread it. I ask that you all show professionalism and respect when calling me a fucking idiot.

No. It’s saying everyone, even the head of the company, must treat others with respect. Horowitz did not. Thus, he’s fired.

Even before the LA Times clarification, I totally read this as “don’t be an ass-grabbing neanderthal, you douchenozzles”.

I look forward to Horowitz blessing HGTV with new argueshows like “Shiplap Upside Your Head” and “Unintelligent Design”
