Baseball fans fume at MLB's 'Field of Dreams' game decision, reporter Tricia Whitaker has a boat day & LLWS!

'Nightcaps' is a daily column that catches you up on the biggest sports, news and culture stories you may have missed while pretending to do work at your desk. It runs Monday–Friday on OutKick.com.

Over the hump and safely into a big Thursday filled with actual NFL football (kind of) and an MLB Field of Dreams game only the 1%ers can watch.

What a blessing. What a day! Are things starting to ramp up, or what? And who knows! Maybe by the end of this class, the WNBA will have

HOME RUN DERBY RATINGS CRASH ON NETFLIX, SETS 20-PLUS-YEAR LOW AS QUESTIONS SURFACE ABOUT PROGRAM QUALITY

I wouldn't hold your breath, but there's always a chance.

Welcome to a Thursday Nightcaps — the one where Pat Sajak, of all people, points out the lunacy in tonight's annual Field of Dreams game.

Pat Sajak! We usually only check in with in this class. I believe Pat's a first-timer. Welcome aboard!

What else? I've got a couple wild moments yesterday in the world of little league baseball, Apple TV's Tricia Whitaker enjoyed a Canadian cottage getaway and Lordy, did you guys have some steak takes on the heels of yesterday's class.

Well done. We'll dive in.

Take out a second mortgage, grab you a Netflix subscription and settle in for a Thursday 'Cap!

I think Major League Baseball does a lot of things right. Frankly, they're probably the best sport when it comes to doing things that make sense.

The pitch clock was brilliant. I've come around on the ghost runner. ABS has very clearly worked. The Home Run Derby and the All-Star game are the two best exhibition events in sports (not a high bar, to be fair).

The Field of Dreams game has been a home run since its debut way back in 2021. It's perfect. Everything about it is perfect.

This year — tonight — is the first year it won't be on Fox. Instead, it was scooped up by Netflix during last year's TV negotiations.

Yes, that means if you really want to watch some Phillies-Twins action tonight from Iowa, you're gonna have to pay up.

And when folks realize this... look out.

In fact, one already has:

Does it seem a bit ironic that MLBs Field of Dreams game — which harkens back to a simpler, more bucolic time — is being streamed on Netflix?

You know what, Pat Sajak? You are 1000% right. What a rip-off! More importantly, what a vocabulary on 79-year-old Pat Sajak! Bucolic? I'm not sure I've ever seen that word in my life. Does Pat still have the fastball, or what?

Bucolic, by the way, is an adjective that means relating to the pleasant, peaceful aspects of the countryside, country life, or shepherds, according to the stupid AI bot that runs Google now.

Pat wasn't alone in his bewilderment, by the way:

I could go on and on. Nobody is happy. Is anyone ever happy?

For those still on the fence, a Netflix subscription costs $8.99 a month (with ads). If you really hate ads, you have to pony up a who
