Oneil Cruz’s 450-foot moonshot is the farthest-hit ball in the last two World Baseball Classics. The previous longest distance was a 448-foot homer by Shohei Ohtani vs. Australia in 2023. The 116.8 mph EV makes it the third-hardest-hit ball in the WBC in that time. Plakata.

I am once again demanding pitchers stop hitting Byron Buxton

I cover a lot of the mind-numbingly frustrating things about baseball. a lot of the time, it sucks the fun out of watching a game and it's just ... whatever. but goddamn if the World Baseball Classic doesn't remind me why I fell in love with baseball in the first place

I feel like it would just take one Pokémon looking at Pikachu and asking “why doesn’t he need to live in the ball?” to lead to some fuckin changes in that society

With 17-year-old Joseph Contreras and 40-year-old Tiago da Silva, Brazil is the first team in WBC history to use players 40+ and under 18 in the same game Only other team to use a sub-18-year-old and 40+ year-old in the same WBC at all: Brazil in 2013: Daniel Missaki (age 16), Ernesto Norris (40)

All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.

I love that the two strongest factors in Brazil having a competent baseball team are: 1. The Japanese-Brazilian community 2. The children of MLB players and their Brazilian wives

It's valid to tell people "I have plans" if your plans are to sit on your couch. That's a type of plans

Watching the World Baseball Classic. Cal Raleigh is up. My wife says “that guy’s got a big butt” I tell her: “you’ll never guess what his nickname is”

i love labor protest and solidarity, but also staying this still during 'gasolina' is terrifying

it should be socially acceptable to lick your plate clean if the meal was so good it moved you to do so

there's no alt text here which is unfortunate because we have located the most y2k a car has ever been and everyone needs to know about it. the entire body is clear. i mean you can see the guts just like a gameboy but with better clarity oh my god it's wonderful

Silicon Valley runs on erasure of consent. Consent is friction. Inefficient and not binary. It does not compute. It’s tech’s kryptonite.

Han Solo Homer was right there

Mother put her hands over her face and completely disappeared. This degenerate nihilistic storytelling is killing our culture. Oh! But wait! Mother has returned! This redemptive hopeful storytelling is leading us to utopia!

idk man maybe start telling anti-vax parents they’re shitty parents. because they are, whether they intend to be or not. maybe the public health message should be “this is child abuse“ because it is.
