Julio was a very fun fixture of a lot of bad Braves teams in the mid-late 2010's. Underrated for a guy that made six (!) straight opening day starts! I'll remember him fondly.

WHAT YEAR IS IT

It should have been easier to come up with five reasons for optimism for a team projected 90+ wins. My latest post on @batflipsandnerds.bsky.social is live now! batflipsandnerds.com/2026/02/26/a...

A potential British HC!

The Browns have requested permission to interview Seahawks DC Aden Durde for their vacant HC job, source said. The native of England came to the NFL as a Cowboys coaching intern and has risen quickly.

big struggles for Ohio State on offense tonight. If only they had the offensive coordinator who led them to last years national championship, unfortunately he now has the same job for the Northwestern Wildcats football team

NORTHWESTERN HAS, AT LAST, WON A GAME AT WRIGLEY ONE IN A ROW! ONE IN A ROW! ONE IN A ROW!

MISCUES!!! CATS BY 50!

Robert Fitzgerald is playing out of his mind. He is a MISSILE.

RANK NORTHWESTERN YOU COWARDS!!! #GOCATS

We’re back baby!!!

???!!!

Northwestern just went for a surprise two-point conversion on a swinging gate TE sneak against ULM. One for the @sickoscommittee.org if ever I’ve seen it!

Wheel out the graphic!

◽️ 14 seasons ◽️ 3x All-Star ◽️ 4x Gold Glove winner ◽️ One 108-year World Series drought ended Thanks for the memories, Anthony Rizzo 👋

Oh MAN. Cam seems like a heart and soul guy. Absolutely crushed for him.

And some more serious guys. Some mid-2010’s icons. Ben Garland was a RG that rotated in at DT (that’s how bad the Falcons have been at getting to the QB!) who got a safety on Russell Wilson in the 2016 playoffs! Unforgettable. What a guy.

I am remembering some guys. Some international influence and some early Braves influence. Those utility infielders, man.

My King! Welcome to the show! 🇬🇧👑

ESPN can be criticized for excessive self promotion on plenty of things. Lee Corso is not one of them. He has been so important to college football and ESPN coverage of it. And by all accounts is a good guy. Kudos to a great career and an appropriate sendoff.

The best thing about being an NU fan is that they’re very rarely on at primetime. 5pm kickoffs baby!

Probably best that I couldn’t add Northwestern football into the mix - it’d probably go over 100. 🙏

I have just watched the most sensational sunset over Lake Michigan and then heard the news about Ryno. Hope he’s getting the best view up there. RIP to a legend.

Absolutely shocking lack of respect for NU.

Always in awe of @slangsonsports.bsky.social’s passionate advocacy of our sport, and proud of how baseball comes together to fight ALS. 🔥

Pretty happy with this one! Feel like I properly remembered some guys. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 789 9/9: Rarity: 7 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 ➡️ See my grid: immaculategrid.com/share/hfWleQU

Atta boy!!

British Gas is a Brave!!

Oh baby it’s naming some guys central. A tribute grid for me - my go-to obscure name, three British-born major leaguers, two guys who made me fall in love with baseball, the two players’ jerseys I got my wife and I on our wedding day and my favourite player ever. #ImmaculateGrid

Braves fan to genie: I wish for no injuries this year! Genie: sure! Also the genie:

Happy Opening Day everyone!!! We did it!!

Before this, the Twins were probably the team I knew least about. This is a sneaky team that needs some pieces to fall into place but there’s potential there!

Surely nothing more than a vibes piece at this point but maybe the Braves’ all time saves leader recaptures some magic!!

The Vikings having the worst pass protection game of the year against the Falcons is absolutely damning. How?

Psyched about this!! We’ve been pumping out preview articles all this month on the website too and we’ve got great plans for the year. Keep your eyes peeled!

It's beautiful!

How’s your dream of beating Michigan going?

Hello 👋 We’re due to relaunch the pod for 2025 with a big interview tomorrow 🚀 Ahead of that, we’d really appreciate if folk could leave us some 5️⃣⭐️ reviews Helps boost algorithms, all that 📈

Ohio State going up 14 early on Oregon just goes to show that Michigan were the real national champs all along.

Man has dragged himself through hell already. Unbelievable.

love y'all, Arizona State, that was amazing

“Fuck that! You can change somebody’s life!”

RIP, Rickey.A great base stealer, hitter, and most of all - a great human.

RYAN DAY SUCKS!!
