    Fun puzzle, Mikey! Thanks for taking the time to do this.
    • Mikey G constructor · 2022-07-17T15:43:39.608Z
      This was a fun one. I think at least one baseball meta a year is a given from me, haha.
    • KayW 10:20 · 2022-07-16T20:08:54.832Z
      Great puzzle! Can't BELIEVE that Kay, queen of the non-sportsing people, didn't need google to solve this. In fact, at first I found twelve entries before I went back and counted (SON/SOX, tho I realize that one would be ambiguous. Or should I say ambichromal)
      • Mikey G constructor · 2022-07-17T15:43:08.740Z
        What a word indeed! And congrats on doing it without Google!!
      • oldjudge 2s · 2022-07-16T21:14:50.957Z
        Kay, I think you just created a new word. I like it!
        • boharr 3s · 2022-07-16T22:11:24.467Z
          Nicely done.
          • Dow Jones 5s · 2022-07-17T01:55:06.874Z
            You hit a homer with this one, Mikey !! Thank you for the fun.
            • Mikey G constructor · 2022-07-17T15:43:14.469Z
              At least I didn't strike out!
            • Robert Hutchinson 9:22 · 2022-07-17T16:11:42.840Z
              35D/57A crossing gave me some trouble. Nice puzzle, cute meta.
              • Mikey G constructor · 2022-07-17T17:34:33.571Z
                Ooh, yeah, that is a bit Naticky, since 57A does not immediately give you the fact that the word ends in "-S" based on how its worded. I think when creating I quickly saw SERVES instead of SEVRES, since that did make me raise an eyebrow when I saw it again. Thanks for your kind words, nonetheless!
              • Cindy Heisler 3s · 2022-07-17T17:22:35.686Z
                This was a fun one even for someone who really isn't into baseball. But at least I know the team names. Thanks, Mikey!
                • Mikey G constructor · 2022-07-20T02:23:14.726Z
                  You bet! Gotta love this time of year! I've just gotten into baseball myself over the past 5 - 10 years or so.
                • woozy 22:59 · 2022-07-17T22:42:59.192Z
                  Gadzooks. I said to myself CUBS have to look for a cubs substitute in the grid and looked and looked..... Gadzooks. Well, maybe the astros of the royals or.....
                  • Mikey G constructor · 2022-07-20T02:23:43.987Z
                    I did get CUBS in the grid; sadly, I also had to get METS in (I respect the Mets but am supposed to hold a grudge for '69, haha.)
                    • woozy 22:59 · 2022-07-20T05:29:28.207Z
                      I know. I was joking about how I could look for cubs and not see it. Even when I know the U was required in that tiny corner of the grid I even briefly thought it was SON/SUN before seeing the CUBS.
                      • Mikey G constructor · 2022-07-21T02:21:15.626Z
                        Oh, haha. Well, I've been looking for my CUBS all season!
                    • dplass 7:24 · 2022-07-22T13:17:09.937Z
                      How did you know that you had to look for CUBS (CABS)?
                    • DIS 🤓6:36 · 2022-07-18T15:15:45.189Z
                      You get straight A's for this one!

                        Spotting TRIOLES (which got my attention as a rather obscure answer) as one letter off from ORIOLES in conjunction with a sports-themed title broke open the meta for me. Then it was just a search for 10 more baseball teams. Fortunately the replacement letters spelled out an appropriate phrase. Nicely done to squeeze in all these words.
                        • Mikey G constructor · 2022-07-20T02:25:30.884Z
                          This is definitely something that would get my spidey senses up if I'm looking at a grid, and I see TRIOLES randomly there! Glad that helped break open the meta, and it was fun trying to work getting the teams to spell out what I could!
                        • Laura M 🤓24:21 · 2022-07-19T04:47:41.944Z
                          Thought I'd see how many of the 11 I could get without Google... Five. Five is how many I could think of on my own. Nice puzzle, despite my sports ignorance!
                          • Mikey G constructor · 2022-07-20T02:26:11.210Z
                            That's almost half!! We'll take it!
                          • JHSeeman 3s · 2022-07-19T12:22:47.570Z
                            fun meta...and I always love your clues...thanks for the puzzles.
                            • Bird Lives 6s · 2022-07-19T12:43:10.891Z
                              When I got to PILATES, I thought: If the mechanism is not what I think it is, then I'm going to do a puzzle using it. Yours was better than what I could have done, and perfect timing for the All Star break.
                              • Mikey G constructor · 2022-07-20T02:26:56.393Z
                                I probably need to start a journal of things I think metas are and, if they aren't, file that mechanism away for later! Still mulling over yours on the MMM - and thanks for the kind words! Watching the All-Star game as of this exact comment!

                                Quite the card, this guy.
                                • Mikey G constructor · 2022-07-20T02:27:24.202Z
                                  I've always got something brewing.

                                  Just got to it and didn't even need the nudges! Enjoyed it but it was missing my Padres.
                                  • Mikey G constructor · 2022-07-22T00:11:55.237Z
                                    I like the Padres too! They're playing with a lot of heart, especially in absence of Tatis, who I hope heals soon! I also remember when they weren't that good, and so I've been able to watch their arc. They also were the team that faced the Cubs the last time I was at Wrigley (back in '19), and I could feel them on the precipice of greatness. May they continue to have victory in future years!
                                    • Carolyn 3s · 2022-07-23T00:01:09.855Z
                                      Thanks! My son lives across the street from Wrigley so we're also Cubs fans.
                                  • I K Snamhcok 1s · 2022-07-21T21:01:47.388Z
                                    Much fun for this lifelong baseball fan. Thanks, Mikey!

                                      Nice. I wouldn't have gotten it without the nudges though. I guess my brain just didn't see it....
