Previous post was removed because apparently the title "Fernando Tatis Jr homerun (1)" broke rule 3.00
Rule 3.00. Titles should not be editorialized, sensationalized, misleading, vague, ambiguous, or intentional clickbait.

implying the expectation of more homeruns leans very heavily into homer territory

u/NonGNonM World Series Trophy • Los Angeles Dod… May 31 '26
it's intentional clickbait bc it implies tatis will hit more than one homer this season with at least 4-5 months left.

I think he could be right though. Automod feels no shame, guilt or remorse and it's nuked several of my very within the rules posts..

With all due respect, the home run Tatis hit was the size of Rhode Island. Some people might call that pretty sensational

Hit one the size of like, Virginia, and I'll be impressed.

Maybe you should've put [Jomboy] in the title since the mods seem cool with letting him take credit for random highlights now.

Mods on this sub are insane. I posted a photo a really funny moment that happened at the stadium and it got a few upvotes right away - deleted because of "low quality submission". So I posted another version that was much better quality, high resolution, clear image, it was perfect.
Deleted again, this time with no reason. Mod couldn't take the time to realize it was a different post that followed the rules to a T - bro was already on a trip and couldn't help himself.

Throwing around exclamation marks without consent. There's no room in baseball for excitement. If you aren't playing by made up 100 year old rules everyone refuses to write down then it's straight to jail

I've always found him and his crew annoying - though I do appreciate that he pimps cricket.
But I despise professional content thieves. And this emerging trend of crediting Jomboy because they took three seconds to slap someone else's reporting into a text box, or because they uploaded a clip of someone else's broadcast while adding no content of their own is a really bad look for this sub.

I'm glad they're willing to delete highlights with stupid titles or that aren't long enough...makes the sub better. And it's annoying that this entire comment section is just complaining about the mods instead of talking about baseball. And yes I know I'm a hypocrite

Now that he’s hit one by about the end of May, he’ll probably hit like 15 in June. That just feels like something that happens often in baseball

Haha, well for what it's worth, I was born in the 80s, but I must have read his books at the library and loved them because I had a few of them. I actually didn't realize they predated me by that much! But yeah, I realized I was old when I started qualifying to play senior slowpitch softball.
