They’re awful, the white ones especially. The names and numbers on the back are barely legible.
 
Lol. The Astros were in the silver-on-white, looking like altar boys. And they were playing against the Angels, in black.
 
Still not as bad as 30 seasons worth of Padres and Astros uniforms.

I like the nicknames, but some of the 'throwback' uniforms kinda suck. How come the A's pitchers wore black hats with the white uni's while the rest of the team wore white hats?

The pitcher has to wear a black hat to provide contrast to the white ball. Same reason there are no stands directly behind the pitcher.
 
It looked like a cricket match.

When the all black uniformed teams were on the field, the umpires in all black made it look like there were 3 more in the outfield. :facepalm:

The only thing that bothers me about this is the teams asked to be exempted for their nationally televised game on Sunday and were denied. Why would MLB deny them? The whole thing is stupid.

I assume it about selling more jerseys? I can't imagine they did.
 
Considering that you are talking about a sport which has commentators blabbing on about nothing for 90+ % of the game because hardly anything happens ever...why not change it up? We are talking about a game so long and boring that they have a little stretch somewhere around the 2/3 mark to keep the people from stiffening up, wake up the sleepers and clear the hot dog fog from the heads of the spectators.

Baseball is like golf - it's a sport made for highlights. Highlights cuts out all of the "well Joe, Buck was a pitcher in high school and switched to 3rd base in college. He won a National championship and was picked up by the farm team for the...BLAH BLAH BLAH..." for 3 hours. Sure, you'll miss the "that was just a little high but Blaskey took a swing at it and fouled it off. Just about hit that fan who was talking to someone behind her...." and the "ball three for a full count. This is Joey's 12th full count this year as he's become very patient, making opposing pitchers really work. He's going to wait for his pitch and...BLAH BLAH BLAH..."

And don't forget the commercials. Those glorious tv commercials. You are on your butt watching a baseball game so you need some chips, maybe beer or Pepsi and maybe some candy to tide you over during this coma that someone convinced you was a sport - the athletes work harder in warm up than they do during the game.

You know what they should add to baseball? Paintball! Try pitching a strike with a few fans unloading some colour in your direction. Or perhaps maybe the third base coach could do the shooting. Maybe no paintball but each fan could throw a quarter of a hotdog on to the field one time per game. Anything...anything to liven that up.

No, just no. Baseball is clearly NOT for you. The subtlety of the game is lost on the ADHD generation.
