#oaklandathletics — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

Ein ziemlich großartiger, ja ultimativer Sportfilm: Selbst, wenn Sie mit der Disziplin Baseball eigentlich überhaupt nichts anfangen können, lohnen sich die zweieinhalb Stunden vor dem Fernseher. Auch weil es hier um weit mehr geht, als nur das Ballspiel, in dem die Algorithmen am Ende gewinnen. (ZDF, Wh)

Some random #WPBL thoughts.

I'm so happy to see this league. I'm so happy to be able to watch baseball that isn't tainted by the MLB (bitter #OaklandAthletics fan here). And I was so happy to see so many women and young girls in the stands for the opening game. So much joy in my heart this morning.

Holy heck that was a fun game! On average I'd say the level of play was roughly single A level. Remember that there is effectively no organized player development for women's baseball in most of the world, so the fact that these women are demonstrating serious baseball chops is amazing and speaks to the passion and dedication they have for the game. I will be very interested to see how the quality of play develops over the intense one month season.

With only four teams and all games being played at Robin Roberts Stadium, these players are going to learn each other and the park effects as the season goes along. We'll see who can best make adjustments!

As an Oakland fan, I can't tell you how pumped I was to see Dave Stewart and Tony La Russa at the first game (sorry St Louis, Tony will forever be Oakland to me). Dave is apparently part of the league brain trust, but I hope he will also be providing pitching guidance to the players. If you've never seen Stewart in game mode, go back and watch some of his highlights on YouTube--particularly his Roger Clemens matchups. Classic.

What these players need are "reps". Hundreds of fly balls to improve their reads and routes on balls. Infield practice. Catchers smothering balls and runner pickoffs. Baserunning. The raw skills are there, it's just giving the players opportunity to practice. I will note that the pitchers did great fielding their positions during the opening game, showing veteran level poise off the mound.

My early favorites are LA Queens captain, catcher, and two-way star Maggie Foxx (last name a throwback to #Athletics bopper Jimmy Foxx?). Second base Amira Hondras impressed with her steady defense and excellent bat control-- team RBI leader after the first game! Meggie Meidlinger looks great in the closer role.

Catcher Denae Benitez is obviously the spark plug for the NY Heights, going 4-4 with the first (and so far only) home run in the league. Right fielder Natsuki Yonetani always has a smile on her face and plays with real joy. Sorry she missed the ball that led to the Queens comeback.

The league marketing really hyped Queens pitcher Ayumi Sato, and she's a legend in Japanese women's baseball. Her debut was obviously not what anybody wanted, but her team really picked her up with the win. I believe Sato is too much of a professional not to bounce back from this and I hope for great things from her.

Little League phenom Mo'Ne Davis was also part of the hype train leading up to opening day. Folks need to remember that she stopped playing baseball after her little league success and has only recently returned to the sport. She's a remarkable athlete. If she can block out the expectations and get into a groove, she'll find her form. But they shouldn't be putting the pressure of the leadoff spot on her until she finds her stride.

Anyway, I'm a bit giddy about the new league. I hope they can generate some real buzz and viewership!

And, yeah, about that TV coverage... https://infosec.exchange/@hal_pomeranz/117026264162411533
