@elonmusk You suck

[Ballpark Weather/Rudie Verougstraete @ballparkweather]

Leaving X for good this week because under a new Trump regime, centralized social media sites and tech more broadly absolutely cannot be trusted. He'll lean on Musk and Zuckerberg and others to absolutely go after MAGA's political "enemies".

[Ballpark Weather/Rudie Verougstraete @ballparkweather]

Between the fake/spam accounts and now @X deciding that blocked accounts should still be able to see your posts, I was really better off just posting from my Mastodon account and the blog, so I'll be leaving this site again for the second and final time.

Interesting to me that it's always the Latino players and the black players who get called out for daring to show some flair and emotion during games.

[Ballpark Weather/Rudie Verougstraete @ballparkweather]

We can argue all day long whether Profar and Machado and whoever else deserved to be called out for showing emotion and hype during this series but can we agree that racist name-calling, as done by @Ken_Rosenthal in an @TheAthletic hit piece, is unacceptable?

Trying to watch playoff baseball and between innings I'm seeing "Kamala Harris wants to give sex change operations to illegal immigrant rapists" and other completely unhinged, ludicrous accusations.

Final #MLB game forecast post is up now on the blog! Thanks to everyone who subscribed this year and thank you for your comments and feedback! https://t.co/sNiXHPQ55U

No, the White Sox are a joke organization. The Athletics. The Rockies. The Nationals on the other hand have a World Series championship under their belt, have made savvy trades and player acquisitions for years and have largely been fairly competitive.

[Ballpark Weather/Rudie Verougstraete @ballparkweather]

Wild to me the number of #Nats "fans" who, with zero inside knowledge of the situation with C.J. Abrams, are claiming with absolute certainty that he was betting on baseball, and concluding the the Nationals organization is a "joke" because one player needed some discipline

Slight risk of a scattered storm near Baltimore this afternoon, keeping an eye on that. Also a slight risk of a shower or two in/around St. Louis this evening but odds favor that game being good to go. #Orioles #Birdland #DetroitTigers #Guardians #STLCardinals

[Ballpark Weather/Rudie Verougstraete @ballparkweather]

Next week's #MLB game forecasts are up now at https://t.co/3rVnlTo57j

Biggest rainout chances are for #SFGiants at #Birdland with the remnant showers from a tropical system moving inland from coastal North Carolina

[Ballpark Weather/Rudie Verougstraete @ballparkweather]

Next round of #MLB game forecasts will be up this afternoon!

[Ballpark Weather/Rudie Verougstraete @ballparkweather]

Potential delays for today's #MLB games:

- #Cubs at #Nats (watching a line of storms moving out of West Virginia; could spark a storm or 2 in D.C. area later)
- #Braves at #Phillies (slight chance of a storm depending on progress of aforementioned line of storms)

This week's #MLB game forecasts are up now on the site: https://t.co/3KZIeGKSiG

[Ballpark Weather/Rudie Verougstraete @ballparkweather]

Going to be fairly quiet weather-wise for this week's #MLB games...just a slight chance of an early delay for #Orioles at #Mets tomorrow. Otherwise, no issues.

[Ballpark Weather/Rudie Verougstraete @ballparkweather]

@CobraaReviews Guh. My stupid dyslexic eyes

[Ballpark Weather/Rudie Verougstraete @ballparkweather]

Fast-moving showers/storms heading towards Baltimore but likely won't last too long, so not worried about a lengthy delay. #Orioles #RedSox

[Ballpark Weather/Rudie Verougstraete @ballparkweather]

Apologies for the delay, going to get working on this week's #MLB game forecasts shortly, will be up this evening!

[Ballpark Weather/Rudie Verougstraete @ballparkweather]

Can't rule out showers and storms this evening for #Rangers at #Yankees, and also #Astros at #Redsox with the remnants of Debby moving through the northeast. #Angels at #Nationals should be good to go...only drizzle this evening if that.

[Ballpark Weather/Rudie Verougstraete @ballparkweather]

#Yankees game is going to be dealing with moderate to heavy showers off and on the rest of the evening as the outer bands of Debby approach from the south. #MLB
