I have to admit I was wrong about something pretty basic. For the past few weeks I kept saying the New York Yankees were now part of the National League after that trade deadline rumor started floating around. I even mentioned it in a conversation with a coworker who corrected me on the spot. Turns out I mixed up a tweet about a possible realignment with the actual league structure – the Yankees are, of course, still firmly in the American League.

The mistake slipped in because I was watching a lot of cross‑league games recently and the commentary kept tossing around "AL vs. NL" without explicitly naming the teams. My brain just filled in the blanks. I felt a bit embarrassed when I realized I had been spreading the wrong info on a forum thread earlier this week.

Has anyone else had a similar mix‑up? Maybe a player’s team affiliation or a rule misunderstanding? I’d love to hear your stories – it’s comforting to know the occasional slip-up is part of staying engaged with the game.

I've been thinking a lot about the current state of baseball, and one thing that really gets me is the strict pitch count limits we're seeing nowadays. It seems like every time a starter is going well, they get pulled at the 100-pitch mark, regardless of the situation. I understand the desire to protect these guys' arms, but I think it's having a negative impact on the game. We're seeing fewer complete games, and the strategy of the game is suffering as a result. I think it's time for managers to start trusting their starters to go deeper into games, rather than relying on a bullpen that may or may not be able to get the job done. The days of a pitcher throwing 150 pitches in a game may be behind us, but I think we can find a happy medium between pitch counts and letting our starters actually start. What are your thoughts on this?
