Let's go with the Hillsboro Hops,as they're the closest corollary with the savannah sand gnats/bananas. I'd the hops LEFT THE STATE after receiving ~1900 fans/game in their final season, and the new team averaged ~3600 in their FIRST season (up to ~4200 fans/game now), yeah, I'd be perfectly fine with it. Bringing community together, national attention (and the associated financial benefits), and a revitalized sense of fun in the wake of an extremely long stretch of years is 100% a net positive, to me.

The teams are having fun. I'm sorry you're not.

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

Then what are you mad about?

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

Homie you came out the gate swinging, calling what they're doing "a stupid version of baseball that involves TikTok dances and idiotic stunts" and saying that the owner sucks.

Your problem is that you assume people disagree with you for "voicing an opinion," rather than entertaining the possibility that people disagree with your actual opinion itself.

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.
