And, also? It’s a *terrible* look in 2026 America for a white player to refuse to shake the hand of a person of color. I ain’t interested in arguing the point with dorks who want to explain it away. It just is. What are we even doing?

I’m of the unpopular belief that sportsmanship is for kids, but I also house the conflicting thought that declining a handshake* is the height of disrespect. If this is a competitive “trend”, it’s stupid.

I'm sorry, but as a Tigers' fan I refuse to recognize that this game was ever played. And Brandon Inge was HBP.

Didn’t remember this one, then just spent last 30 minutes watching the final few innings. Goodness gracious, what a game!

Obligatory reminder that my #athletics were close to acquiring Kirk Gibson in 1990. Would THAT have a bigger gut punch? Yes, shut up

The framing of this non-story is so weird. I’m no #athletics apologist, but they’ve sold nearly 90% of their hilariously overpriced seats in a minor league ballpark after a season in which they didn’t really embrace the community. That…ain’t bad!

This is the first WBC game I’ve watched in 2026 and it’s wild that Ken Rosenthal is still doing those “no, really, everyone from Team USA WANTS to be here and they’re HAVING FUN” sideline reports that he’s been doing since the WBC began 20 years ago

It’s so deeply depressing that any attempt to talk about American patriotism immediately leads to talking about the military. Revealing too.

Good for him. He landed in the doghouse with #athletics and never got out. Love to see old friends win 🫡

Happy 84th birthday, Bert Campaneris! He's the greatest Latin-born player in #athletics history and should have long since had his #19 retired by the team. He's still with us! Get 'er done, A's!

The Gibson HR was the end of my live-or-die fandom. It was the gut punch of all gut punches when it happened (I was 15 y/o!), but it really did give me a lifelong perspective on the silliness of caring too much about sports. (Did I successfully avoid that highlight for the next 10-15 years? Shut up)

Genuinely love how the WBC drama everywhere is authentic and organic, except in America where contrived manufacturing is still king
