To be fair this happens as a prospect writer too.

One of the many reasons I couldn’t be an actual sports reporter is I would just hang up laughing when asked to report so many things.

Did not have the Mets getting a real (if oft-injured) prospect back for a David Peterson rental

It’s incredibly funny to see a hypothetical Jarrett tossed off on a podcast with a wrestling guy get spread all over Mets Twitter because it somehow got back to Buster Olney.

Patrick also pulls off a Muhammad Ali level rope-a-dope in the game.

The Dodgers farm system is good and not a psyop. No I won’t explain further.

Kent Emanuel stares at the camera

You cannot put more than an ounce and a half of liquor in drinks here.

Our relatable 40ish king

“Don’t tell me this game doesn’t mean anything” Mate, it’s the literal World Cup.

This is one of the best games I’ve played in a while. I just wish I were 25% better at it.

There is an Italian-born Australian player and it is not Jacob Italiano. I guess he follows in the footsteps of fellow Aussie Massimo Luongo.

Diesel Dart

There are Tangos everywhere with those that have eyes to see (that might actually be Tango I have not memorized his tattoos)

Croatian keeper having one of the better games I’ve seen behind a team that’s shipped three.

That includes you Bundesliga Boy

Daylen Lile having a bobblehead day makes me wonder if we are doing too many bobbleheads. And this is coming from a guy who owns some weird bobbleheads.

Look if you had told me to guess the batter/pitcher matchup for this, I think I could have gotten it in three.

The disappearing lily pad section in Mina the Hollower is gonna haunt my nightmares for years.

It was indeed Jordan Clarkson time.

Every time I come across Ichiro Cano’s name while working, I wonder what would have happened if he decided to take up the clarinet or something.

Carson Benge every time he gets a text from the Hollidays from now on: New phone, who dis?

Maybe the Persona 6 announcement will get me to finally sink 100 hours into Persona 5 but I am so old now.

Guardians RHP Braylon Doughty t97 with the fastball, also showed 4 other secondaries

As someone who attended Hampshire College, I know how this ends.

I was not actually trying to antagonize Craig, but once he started getting mad, I just leaned in.

New York Giants fans learning all about the median Davis County voter I see.

David Roth and I talked about bands whose fans look like them on the last pod, and I almost brought up Gibbard as a dude who no longer looks like his fans.

My most boomer opinion is you run straight up and leather every pen top corner.

It sure is

Caden Scarborough is low 90s rn but he’s locked in the slider early

Think this is my favorite album so far this year music.apple.com/us/album/the...

Checking on the Cardinals/Brewers game

Hard contact all night from Hartshorn. Power to all fields. #cubs

Might be time for @sammillerbb.bsky.social to start the Chase Burns 21-K watch.

Been drinking a lot of Kingston Negronis lately, has to be with Smith and Cross though.

Maybe all prospects are local. www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

Seth Hernandez 96-98 in first inn

Could have used that for the game where the lights accidentally got shut off for a half hour.

Alek Thomas looks at his phone and his heart sinks, as he sees notifications that Esteury Ruiz, Trayce Thompson, and Taylor Trammell are all now following him on Instagram

More on this tomorrow on Five and Dive

I think AJ Ewing right now might be the Mets second best outfielder, but boy I would have liked to have seen him get another 100 PA in Syracuse first.

My GM told me hitters keep crushing his prep pitchers so I asked how many prep pitchers he has and he said he just goes to the draft and gets a new prep pitcher afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding prep pitchers to High-A hitters and then Bobby Witt started crying.

Its Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa and I take no pleasure in reporting this.

I do not gamble on baseball for obvious reasons, but I assume Misiorowski striking out Spencer Jones was off the board.
