The Baek-ho Kang posting watch off to a good start. With three hits and five RBI today, he’s slashing .309/.352/.495 on the season with four homers and a league-leading 30 RBI.

You acting humorless and miserable does not actually make the authoritarians go away

My favorite Munetaka Murakami stat so far: almost a month into his Major League career, he has zero doubles, zero triples. No XBH that isn't a homer.

Today, MLB Morning Lineup headed its highlights from yesterday: "Ya gotta Bo-lieve! Mets win again." I am reminded of Tug McGraw and of this pretty good story, from 15 years ago: "Ya Gotta Believe: The faith of a fan." ourgame.mlblogs.com/ya-gotta-bel...

BK, Another Side That Continued After Retirement

Great news: @audioculturenz.bsky.social have just republished ethnomusicologist Allan Thomas's 2010 study of the song variously known as Pō Atarau/Haere Rā/Now is the Hour. It's a complex story that reflects the vernacular music-making of generations past. www.audioculture.co.nz/articles/goo...

Woo-jin A was dealing in his longest start of the season so far. 6 Ks over three innings.

Choi’s quest for 600 continues. 522 today.

If we include the postseason and the World Baseball Classic, that's now 39⅓ consecutive scoreless innings for Mason Miller. 🔥

YALL READY? Big buckets coming in szn 30 🏀

Alternative Number Ones on the Bush/Steve Albini connection and on "Swallowed," a song that, I'm forced to admit, kind of rocks.

The streak goes on. 21 games to start the season for Seong-han Park.

Seong-han Park breaks the record for most consecutive games with a hit to start the season. Will be very interesting to see if Park garners some MLB interest in the offseason. To me, he’s as good a contact hitter as Jung Hoo Lee and has a better glove at a premium position. But he has no power.

Speed Racer is coming back to theaters before the new 4K remaster hits discs, so it's time for me to remind you that Speed Racer is a cubist masterpiece

It’s impossible to run like this without saying “Uh oh” right before you get going.

31 years ago today on 4/19/1995 white supremacist terrorists bombed Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. In the days after the attack, a Muslim-American man named Ibrahim Ahmad was blamed for the attack. This is the story of the man who didn't bomb Oklahoma City slate.com/news-and-pol...

This is awesome

Park added two more hits today, tying the KBO record for most consecutive games with a hit to start the season. Fun fact, the record was originally set 44 years ago in the very first KBO season.

The Strokes closed their Coachella set with a powerful montage of the governments that the CIA has overthrown, the leaders the US has assassinated, the war crimes America is now committing in Iran, and the genocide Israel is committing in Palestine and Lebanon.

Gotta be this

Nothing says championship mentality like beating a team then deciding they're exactly where you want to be. Satou Sabally's Liberty move is the plot twist that writes itself. via @theixsports.bsky.social Follow on Bet on Her: https://api.bet-on-her.com/s/2iHTcv #WNBA

Ninth-inning single keeps Seong-han Park’s hit streak alive. Now at 17 games to start the season.

Caleb Boushley, who pitched for Texas last season, has begun life in Korea with four consecutive scoreless starts. He’s the first foreign pitcher in KBO history to debut with 20+ straight scoreless innings.

Do-yeong Kim takes Taek-yeon Kim deep in front of a packed Jamsil crowd to give Kia the lead. Do-yeong is now tied for the KBO lead with six homers. Kia is looking for their 9th straight win.

In 2021, Ethel Cain posted a demo called “Wrestling In Dirt Pits” to Tumblr, and it sampled “Angels And Fuselage” from Drive-By Truckers’ classic 2001 album ‘Southern Rock Opera.’ Now she’s covered the track with her band for Triple J’s Like A Version series. stereogum.com/2496055/watc...

One of the better young arms in Korea, Eui-lee Lee, looked sharp with 8 Ks over five scoreless today.

A bit evergreen at this point, but Do-yeong Kim absolutely annihilated this baseball.

Do-yeong, grand slam. Fourth homer of the season.

He overwhelmed Japanese baseball with his form, crossed the Pacific when almost nobody thought a Japanese star should, and changed the sport forever. Before Ohtani, before Ichiro, there was Hideo Nomo.

Woo-Jin An touched 98.8 in his first appearance in 955 days. An only went one inning, gave up no runs and got this strike out on straight gas.

Holy shit

Woo-Jin An, the best Korean pitcher in the KBO, makes his first start since 2023 tomorrow. Last time we saw him, he was finishing up a league-leading 224 K, 2.39 ERA campaign. Injuries and off the field troubles (including a bullying scandal that got him banned from Team Korea) have derailed him.

Three more hits for Park today. Hitting streak now at 12. Batting average .523.

Three hit day for Hyun-min Ahn. No sophomore slump so far as he now has three homers and a .372 avg on the year.
