a reminder that if you're unable to attend the at-capacity Knicks parade, you can always go see the Mets instead

dinger hittin' daddies

There’s two kinds of Dutch soccer player names: Matthijs Van Der Kuijpermandoonk (83 syllables) and Jan Ass (2 syllables)

I strongly encourage MLB to go watch the "outs/swings" versions before the clock because to be quite frank with you: it sucked complete ass

you, seeing the fintwitter account post "oh shit:" worried, perhaps panicking, full of anxiety me, seeing the fintwitter account post "oh shit:" hopeful, finally able to feel something, wondering if it's happening we are not the same

bad take, this was a good season and I enjoyed Kumail as much as I did Mantzoukas

they should be rolling tape on the 2026 Giants and then turn it into a baseball version of The Office. Vitello is a perfect Baseball Michael Scott

Dave Roberts

Dodgers just sacrificed the DH in the sixth inning of a one run game??

just my opinion but if the guy who is hitting fifth thinks the best use of his abilities with none out and two on is a bunt, perhaps he shouldn't be hitting fifth

tfw you get to mention your dads skateboard injury that scarred his cousins so bad they wouldn’t let their kids ride skateboards…and also Jacob Wilson

Today @baseballprospectus.com: The Cardinals are legit, man. They wouldn't make the playoffs if the playoffs were still a nice, cozy gathering, or if the NL powers were more on the ball this year, but I think they're gonna make the playoffs. They're legit. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

I have seen RFK Jr.'s attempt at poetry and I would like to put my lot in with the autistic community on this one

Vance saying "Trump won, you don't have to do this anymore" about MLB minimally enforcing its own code of conduct is pretty apt, I'll give him that

Patrick is eliding the part of the game where he told me to "get some culture" though

new Five & Dive! @euqubud.baseballprospectus.com, @jeffreypaternostro.bsky.social, and I talk about Jacob Misiorowski (again), the Marlins recent hot streak, the Giants/Pride day stuff, plus a new game that was designed in a lab to make me struggle

Today at @baseballprospectus.com I wrote about 1200 words on how teams are expanding the pool of players they can add to their active roster. About half the words were simply a recitation of the Braves' Carlos Carrasco transactions so far this year.

Wrote about how the playoffs are shaping up to be weirder than we've seen in 30 years, framed by a critical scene in @kentremendous.bsky.social's The Good Place: www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

good points made here

I guess Landen Roupp and I have different understandings of what "standing firm" looks like. Then again he and I have different understandings of a lot of things.

"Fandom inevitably borrows against itself, thrilling at future victory, no matter (and in fact often in spite of) the long odds against it. To bandwagon the Cardinals is to welcome disappointment every bit as real as the Red Sox, just deferred." now THERE'S a selling point

Bit of a weird one from me today. I suppose I should try to sell it more, but honestly, if "bit of a weird one from me" isn't a selling point to you, I'm probably not coming up with a better one

okay, so, what had had happened was

I'm saying

Dodgers are trying to take several years off my life and it's working

Kruk: “You know, I’ve broken down and started eating vegetables.” McCarthy: “How’s it going?” Kruk: “You know, it really stinks.”

the jon bois overtime hockey tweet but for this Iran/New Zealand game

Finally got around to reading this. Excellent, perfectly in my Venn diagram of interests

this article is about my favorite baseball team, the New York Knicks

Some big names in the 10 Pack today, including @bspan2.bsky.social look at potential top prospect, Eli Willits and Seth Hernandez. Plus my thoughts on Cardinals RHP, Tanner Franklin. www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

this is just a disappointing trade deadline header

bluesky has been banned for under-16s in the UK because it was determined that hearing that many opinions from 39-year-olds was toxic to the point of illegality

I wrote about Vlad, the singles hitter. @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

This kid must have levels of mental toughness that would frighten the Navy SEALS

did they make The Purge but for sex?? and if so why didn't they call it The Urge?????

I keep seeing the commercial for One Night Only and assume I'm mishearing the part where they say it's the one night a year single people can have sex???

when you can't quite remember how Javier Bardem dispatched people in No Country for Old Men

the only question about this Yamamoto game now is how Tanner Scott will lose it

Yoshinobu Yamamoto loses the perfect game and the retired batters streak on a Hanley Ramirez-esque play by Mookie Betts. Also wonder if Miguel Rojas didn't get hurt if Santiago Espinal makes this play.v

“I can hardly believe my own words. It sounds like I’m trying to slip Sidd Finch 2.0 past you, maybe pitching a Netflix series about Henry Rowengartner’s grandson.” Read Joe on The Miz, the myth, the legend.

Pochettino is giving off real Gerard Butler vibes and that has to be considered a good thing

Can't recommend this piece highly enough. A summary of how to analyze pitching using both your eyes and the numbers, written clearly and readably.
