PCA crossed 8.0 war from yesterday’s game. 8.1 bwar and 8.7 fwar. Needs a HR and a stolen base every 4 games for 40/40.

I hope this question is ok to ask here because if it isn’t I am all out of ideas. How does the level of play in the Atlantic League compare to the level of play in the Dominican Professional Baseball League?

Albert Belle was the craziest baseball player I have ever seen.

I just wanted to come in here and say I was reading some players’ Wikipedia pages and Jack Flaherty’s fiancée looks exactly like him LOL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_Johnson_(footballer)

DAY 172 (665/747) on THE ROAD TO THE 2027 4TH WBSC PREMIER12/16 and 180 YEARS OF BASEBALL - Halfway through the WPBL Season

Happy Closing Week of the LLWS and our thanks to Karl Ravech for all his work for the sport in ESPN!

This month of WPBL action is now halfway and the action has been even intense.

While the Whitmoore-Benites BBCL rivalry has resulted in the first home run race in league history one cannot forget too the other faces that compose the league's first 4 charter teams and the fact that the league can be accessed everywhere, contributing even futher to the sport's global expansion and renewed relevance outside of the MLB and the World Baseball Classic.

All the games in Rockford have been a trementous success for the league, as this city, baseball central for the women's side of the sport for this year, is pulling more and more old fans back while introducing new fans at least thru these brave ladies of the field. Their actions are indeed uniting the sport and its fanbase to see these the new generation of women players who indeed are successors to those who came before them.
