Ask your mother

On ball four the runner can advance as many bases as they can before everyone in the infield touches the ball and throws them out. This results in a hot potato game on the infield…I stand behind the “stupid version” statement.

I’m not angry. Just commuting the ultimate sin of voicing an opinion.

Lol

Sand Gnats and the Bananas are totally different things. One is MiLB and one is not.

I assume you’re from Portland. Possibly a fan of the Beavers? So I guess you’d be okay with a team that was over 100 years old deciding to forego baseball, disband the team and playing exhibition games where the players danced and dry humped each other on the field?

Look, I get the antics. It brings out people who would normally not enjoy a normal baseball game. The team used to strike that balance. They were in a league. While there are TONS of people who come out for the dancing and bat tricks. There were a loyal contingent of Savannahians who actually appreciated the fact that you could watch a normal baseball game in our hometown. I can’t tell you how many hours long rain delays my family and I sat through so we could watch the Bananas finish a game at 1:00AM. But with the withdrawal from the CPL and move to only play Banana Ball, the fans who were loyal to that team were kind of left out in the cold.

I cannot offend you, only you can get offended. You probably work for the Bananas as I’m sure they spend thousands of dollars employing keyboard warriors to protect their brand from any dissenting opinions.

Oh yeah, exactly like Banana Ball.

Didn’t mention Satchel Paige. I didn’t see in that article any of the players I mentioned. But you might be referring to that time Mickey Mantle wore oversized pants and caught bananas thrown at him from the grandstands.

I would have been much happier if they would have stayed in the CPL and played Banana Ball. It would have been something for everybody. Granted summer time is way too hot in Sav to be outside doing anything and one of the benefits was that Jesse could control the schedule. Also there were a ton of rain outs and make up games I’m sure he was losing his shirt on. But at least it was up and coming college players getting to play in front of a supportive fan base. And all the visiting teams got to play in a charged up environment. Local families used to house the players for season tickets. But the connection to the community is now gone. It’s all for likes and adds and let’s face it, money.

They don’t play baseball they play banana ball It’s not even the same sport with the same rules. There are zero stakes. This was a game created by out-of-towners for out-of-towners. And once all the droves of people have seen the dry humping and stilts hitting once and there’s no real baseball to sustain real fans of the game, it will fade like another TikTok fad.

The Sand Gnats were great. You didn’t have to stand in line for 3 hours only to not get a seat in the grand stand. And there were no players stripping on the dugouts and 1st base coaches dry humping the ground to Miley Cyrus songs. They just played actual baseball.

Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron all played at Grayson Stadium. Wonder what they would think of Banana Ball?

Wow, didn’t know you were the arbiter of what’s good and bad for baseball. What an honor to meet such an important person.

Young fans that care nothing about baseball only TikTok dances, no money for struggling minor league players and spotlights something that ordinary people in Savannah could give two shits about.

How many Bananas games have you been to? I’m guessing you’re just another uninformed boob.

It’s fun for people who do to minor league games for the between-inning hijinx, little kids and teenage girls. Anyone who goes to watch actual baseball will be bored after 15 minutes.

Your opinion and $2.75 gets me a ride on the train.

No, i am a fan of the rich history of baseball. This adds nothing to the game.

It’s not baseball. It’s TikTok dances and bat tricks.

They’re great unless you’re a fan of baseball

The Savannah Bananas are not a minor league team. I’m a former season ticket. They used to be part of the Coastal Plains League, a college development league but now play a stupid version of baseball that involves TikTok dances and idiotic stunts. They play in historic Grayson Stadium where Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Mikey Mantle played. The sport is dead in Savannah and these baseball legends are spinning in their graves. Jesse Cole sucks!

Wait, when did the playoffs start? (Falcons fan)
