he was playing CF and could steal bases ... (check out more in my book, which is pinned to my profile!!)

PODCAST @mattsnydercbs.bsky.social joins the show mid-workout because someone (not Matt) is bad at time zones. Anyway, we talk baseball ahead of the All-Star break. omny.fm/shows/the-br...

MLB games in La Paz immediately, please

What is it going to take for Craig Counsell to not bat Alex Bregman second?

Mike Trout last played in an All-Star Game in 2019. Holding out hope he makes it to Philly.

I got told I suck everyday in college. It didn't hurt my feelings. I could take it. You know what else it didn't do? Make me play better.

From a friend of mine. So true!

can't believe i saw an MLB team score 23 runs

Cubs' sequencing: 7-9 20-3 7-22 14-4

MLB in one of its propaganda videos is referencing a CBS Sports roundtable in which every one of us said, no, MLB does not need a salary cap. I guess that's why they screen-capped the headline instead of, you know, quoting from the actual piece.

Bumping this once more before his start against the Braves tonight.

Good morning, White Sox fans. NEW @soxmachine.com Podcast presented by Ankin Law - Colson Montgomery joins rare company - @mattsnydercbs.bsky.social joins the show to talk about bad side of fan gatekeeping - I have thoughts about the MLB Draft proposal Podcast: soxmachine.com/2026/06/podc...

you know what's frustrating? This push from some people to tell as many people as will listen that baseball is getting shut down before next season. First off, that's a LONG way from coming even close to fruition. Secondly, how about a little optimism?

fan gatekeeping is lame. Don't be that person. www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/sny...

from now on, I'll be whiny throughout the late innings whenever the Cubs are losing. That's the formula.

Cubs are somehow gonna not score here, right?

Again, Jed Hoyer took over atop baseball operations in the winter of 2020. Nearing six years later, this is his team in the only large market in the NL Central. Was his extension really necessary?

Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza cranking the horn in Vegas

IU football fan here. YES.

good thing the Cubs hustled on that Jed Hoyer extension last July

Machado has seen six pitches. He's struck out looking twice. All six pitches were fourseam fastballs. I realize it's Wheeler on the mound, but still. Yikes.

OK, I jumped in. This was probably my 11th or 12th attempt and feels like a good stopping point. I just went 75-7, think you can go 82-0? www.82-0.com/share?id=8F4...

hey remember when a few people thought the Braves should trade Ronald Acuña Jr. last year, essentially kicking off a rebuild. That aged well.

legit might be my favorite show currently running right now

Pujols just said he didn't like swinging at 3-0 pitches. I assumed he was still amazing at it, so I looked it up. He hit .366 with a .714 SLG on 3-0 pitches. (Obviously the caveat is your numbers on a 3-0 count should be ridiculous)

I got to say on national TV today that no, Nolan Ryan did not throw 108, stop it, which by definition makes it a good day.

Ketel Marte last 10 games: .524/.553/.952 D-backs are 8-2

if you’re like me and somehow never saw the JJ Putz thing, here you go. it is amazing.

the co-leaders in RBI are Andy Pages and CJ Abrams. Sure.

PODCAST @mattsnydercbs.bsky.social checks in and patiently talks Brewers on the show, as we discuss how they're no longer the plucky underdog, no matter how often Pat Murphy tries to say they are. omny.fm/shows/the-br...

the Brewers are awesome and I'm begging their manager to drop the whole "we're just little underdogs" nonsense www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/bre...

he's in my book!

How would you guard Victor Wembanyama? Personally, I would hire Bane to set up those landmines on the court like he did at that football stadium

WEMBYOMG

one of my favorite things about long playoff series is working up a good hatred for the opponent. Sports hate is fun, after all. I mention this now because I still hate the Thunder after the Finals last season
