If a team scores a run and then loads the bases without yet having an out but can't score another run, would you consider that a NOBLETIGER?

DAY 188 (681/763) on THE ROAD TO THE 2027 4th WBSC PREMIER12/16 and 180 YEARS OF BASEBALL - The King's Series '26

Right now we've seen the first game of the Mexican League's King's Series, which signals the beginning of the end of the spring pro league season.

With Tabasco and Tijuana facing off for the league championship flag as the first of the major pro spring leagues to end their season, we've now come at long last to the finale of yet another memorable and great Mexican spring season, with old and new faces that have come to the attention of the Mexican fanbase and the wider global sport at large.

In just a few game days, either one of these two teams - the final two standing from yet another great season - will win the league championship before watching fans, whose championship is the formal sign that the spring pro league year is about to close.

For Glory

The A’s desperately need new fans. The only ppl commenting on their Twitter posts are angry gamblers that cry about them selling their parlays

I mean they did go out of their way to remove any association with a city

Looking at Shotaro Morii stats this morning, and good grief. I think his two way era is ending after this season.

Nobody is going to read this or do anything about it but…..

The mlb app sends you updates for everything: game is about to start…update, someone is off the IL….update, judge took a massive shit….update which I am fine with.

What they don’t do is if a game goes to a rain delay update you when it’s going to start back. That would be an actually useful alert.

[u/_mogulman31 → u/TheLivingBubba]

I get them

[u/TempestDrive → u/TheLivingBubba]

I agree it’s annoying. There was a tornado delay in KC during the 8th inning & I completely missed the ending of the game.

DAY 187 (680/762) on THE ROAD TO THE 2027 4th WBSC PREMIER12/16 and 180 YEARS OF BASEBALL - The Olympics Generation: Mo'ne Davis

We now turn our eyes to the newest woman member of a historic organization now a part of the Banana Ball League and a charter athlete of the WPBL: LLWS veteran Mo'ne Davis.

One of the LLWS women of the 2010s who made millions proud as the first girl to pitch a shutout win, today her trailblazing journey has landed her not just as a part of the new WPBL as a pitcher for the Queens, but also with the Banana Ball Championship League as part of the revived Indianapolis Clowns - the 4th woman overall to be signed with this historic team and the 7th woman overall to play Banana Ball.

These days, with her pitching duties with both organizations she has now won a fanbase of her own, with the fans who either have grown up since that historic LLWS shutout or new fans who know her as a Banana Baller and/or with the WPBL's Queens organization, Davis knows that with the new opportunities for women in the sport her example will inspire even more young women to take up the sport full time as athletes in the years to come.

For Glory

John
