Never quite hit the same outside of Colorado.

Looking like the pasta is cooked.

To maintain tradition, I really hope he got a mohawk beforehand.

Why is he watching the match all alone?

More than 110 minor league baseball teams across the United States are giving current and former military servicemembers complimentary game tickets. www.mlb.com/milb/tickets...

Imagine being Adam Everett and a ball gets gifted to the Pope because, twenty years earlier, you swung and missed it.

Much as his predecessor washed the feet of the poor, Pope Leo was willing to talk to AJ Pierzynski

Coco Crisp and Zack Greinke just a couple of dudes playing World of Warcraft like we all predicted.

I'm the kind of sports fan who finds out about a blockbuster NBA trade when the Milwaukee Rep posts that they're not going to cancel their musical about Giannis Antetokounmpo. www.jsonline.com/story/entert...

man these dalton rushing videos are hard to watch

Unpopular take, but grown men also need support.

Cole's major at College of Charleston was mathematics. Yes. Mathis his major.

Mike Burrows (HOU) allowed one earned run against the Blue Jays in six innings

God forbid the Mets go on a winning streak. These people will never see another fjord so long as they live.

I desperately need media literacy The character who said this line was a self destructive psychopath The character he said it to felt trapped and worn down by the life they were living This was not a sentiment to emulate

I'm seeing a lot of chatter about video podcasts and how they're just television shows, so I wanted to make a comment about how the 'pod' part of podcast means playable on demand, and that's the primary difference, so I went to fact-check it and... I'm wrong? I made this up in my own head somehow?

If the team isn't homophobic, he should change his name to Bustis Posey for the rest of Pride month.

Just turned on the game. Why exactly is Josh Hader in the clubhouse watching Logan VanWey pitch high-leverage innings?

Joey Loperfido hits a 3-run home run to give the Astros the lead in the top of the 11th inning

It is because that is Clayton Kershaw in a Donald Trump suit.

The good news is, Kyle Tucker would not have been much help.

I saw this one over the weekend, presumably a former lover of @houcounterplot.bsky.social.

Brandon Young on Orioles’ 12-1 win over Dodgers: “It’s nice to beat some ass sometimes, honestly.”

Most Dad Thing I've done this year is fuck your mom send skeet.

Putting the MLB Draft during the All-Star weekend was overall a good idea, not least because it sucked when guys would get drafted and immediately be called upon to throw 120 pitches in a Super Regional, but it's kind of lame to have this huge gap after all of my teams get eliminated.

The Milwaukee Brewers were never taught to respect their Elders. And on Father's Day, no less.

One more blog entry this week, this one on MLB's proposed changes to the MLB Draft and international talent acquisition. bigwestdugout.com/2026/06/19/m...

My buddy Matt is nearly 100 days sober. He lost his home - and all of his tools - in the Altadena fires last year. FEMA failed him. He is doing everything he can, but he needs some help. Can we help him celebrate 100 days of sobriety with 100 donations? Any and all amounts help.

I don't want to give the impression that I think Cameron Sisneros is some hidden gem. I don't. But he's a lefty first baseman with one standout skill (plate discipline,) and that's a fun guy to get into the system and see if you can do something with.

Worried more about the rainbow than the elbow.

Look. Say what you want about Pride, but these boys took the D.

The glove flip, the throw and the stretch 😮‍💨

What's it all about, algae? Is it just for the moment we live? What's it all about when you sort it out, algae? Are we meant to take more than we give, Or are we meant to be kind?

I do not know anything about NASCAR but I will follow YAAASCAR into my grave.

Turns out the previous images didn't render . . . which is a perfect excuse for us to run it back. Get into our #Pride fundraiser—buy cool shirts, notebooks, stickers, whatever you want, and raise money for @translifeline.org while you're at it! Goods at: lnpgaceta.threadless.com/collections/...

This is really well done. Go check it out, y’all!

The school I'm starting at in the fall is a D2 baseball school, which I guess means I'm going to be paying attention to a lot more D2 in 2027, but that season ends in early May??? What am I supposed to do after that???

Dumping a bunch of Fosters in the Boston Harbor to rub it in.

One thing that occurs to me about MLB's draft proposals is that these teams would be pushing a lot of their costs onto publicly-funded colleges and universities, socializing their risk but privatizing their rewards. Can't quite put my finger on why that sounds so familiar.

Love this idea that if you win a couple Cy Young Awards, you get to do a homophobia as a little treat.

Tyler Heineman has been an Angel less than 24 hours.

"The officer felt an impact on his vehicle. The officer turned their vehicle around and discovered a man lying in the roadway...he died of his injuries...It is unclear...why the person entered the roadway" is a lot of words for "A police officer hit and killed a pedestrian."

Not that I think that we need any more words spilled about the Giants pitchers who violated MLB uniform policy last week, but I wrote 3500 of them anyway. On Pride Night, the difference between intent and impact, and what baseball owes to the people who love it. bigwestdugout.com/2026/06/18/w...

His name is Jacob Teter (one... well, two e's), Asheville Tourists legend.

Whatever your trade proposal is, I hate it.

Remember: every single proposal MLB makes is to reduce salaries. Unlike other industries in which employers have competing areas for spending (e.g. equipment, raw materials, and R&D) baseball has none of those expenses. The only competition for spending on salaries & player development is profit.
