I still reference paying with β€œthe code” with some regularity.

Weird & Wild: The 3-run walk, a bizarre strikeout and the baseball gods bless Manny Machado Some of the strangest things you'll see on a baseball field happened this week. Here's how it all looked through the broadcasters' eyes.

Also in this week's Weird & Wild:

*Tom Hamilton on the crazy deflected K
* @jesseagler.bsky.social on predicting Manny's HR
*A pitcher who issued a BB AFTER getting ejected
*6 SB...on zero hits
*Zombies foil the Padres
*Cam vs Bo
*Bryce's unique HR
And lots more!

FanFest is great for a million reasons, but spending an hour watching Jackson Merrill interact with and sign autographs for kids is about as good as it gets.

Nope. Most of the seven don’t. Just hit, bb, hbp.

I’ve half-joked for years that yellow shoes and gloves should be illegal in football. Can be very easy to see a quick moving hand or foot and think it’s a flag, especially from some of the lesser broadcast vantage points πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

With the new shift violation penalty, we get to update the old trivia question about the seven ways for a batter to reach base, right?? Eight is the new seven.

Counting Down! Can almost see Peoria from here; Profar to The A; a game of Padres Connections, and more...

As promised! Some more thoughts on Profar; radio notes, Ueck, and the first edition of Padres Connections! open.substack.com/pub/jesseagl...

New newsletter tomorrow, btw. More on Profar and what feels particularly relevant to this audience, I created a Padres β€œConnections” game.

The 2024 Pads had an almost laughable number of incredible moments and Jurickson Profar was in the middle of nearly all of them. Should get quite an ovation on Opening Day at Petco.

I try and generally avoid HoF arguments and discourse but this class is so cool in so many ways and as a fan, what three totally different and totally awesome representations of the game. Congrats to all.

Not only a legendary broadcaster and entertainer and one of the funniest people ever, but hard to argue that he doesn’t have the best play-by-play β€œcoaching tree” in MLB history. Will miss seeing him in Milwaukee but what a crew they have to follow in his footsteps.

Hey man this was just absolutely exceptional. No outside force shaped my sense of humor and personality like Dave did (you and I are the same age) and you basically asked everything I’ve always wished I had the chance to ask him. Thanks for your wonderful work.

My first gig out of college was broadcasting their β€œrivals,” out of Elkhart, KS. Liberal was the King Kong of that leagueβ€”only ones who had their own bus!

1980 Rickey Henderson rookie card

1980 Rickey Henderson rookie card

I obviously loved baseball cards as a kid, but never was much for β€œcollecting.” We played games with them, hung them on the wall, that kind of thing. But there was one card I had that I knew deserved special treatment.

No guarantee it happens, of course, but alllllways worth paying attention when something like this is floated from the MLB office. Great job breaking it down by Jayson, as always.
