man these dalton rushing videos are hard to watch

“I love numbers,” Smesko said, with a smile, in response to a question from the IX Basketball about the Dream’s fourth-quarter numbers. I got nerdy with this one. The Dream are dominating 4th quarters by a wide margin. An inside look at how they are doing it. #Wnba I @theixsports.bsky.social

For @valkyriesbeat.bsky.social, I wrote an explainer about what happens next about the Valkyries waived Marta Suarez. www.valkyriesbeat.com/p/the-valkyr...

Bryan Abreu: "The mental game is kind of tougher than it looks like. It’s a lot of overthinking, a lot of questioning of myself. It’s been tough."

Chase Burns (CIN) struck out four over six shutout innings against the Giants

Forever a Chattanooga stan, but I have to say that Knoxville slaps.

WNBA officially at 18 teams.

Breaking: The Las Vegas Aces are finalizing an agreement for Jackie Young to return to Vegas, sources told ESPN. Expected to be a one-year deal at the regular max ($1.19 million). One step closer toward the Aces retaining their Big Three.

Earlier today, Top 100 prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez rocked a grand slam for his first homer of the season with Triple-A St. Paul. 113.6 mph, 451 feet No Triple-A homer has been hit harder so far in 2026.

Most games played, Cleveland history: Terry Turner: 1,619 José Ramírez: 1,616 Nap Lajoie: 1,614 When he plays his 1,620th game, Ramírez will become the only active player to currently lead a franchise in games played

felina510.substack.com/p/leading-of... Good Morning babiess --- I got some quick thoughts off on ABS Height Changes, Dominican Beer, and Food in Boats Come get hype for opening week w me 🙃

Latin players can't win. If they go down swinging it's "too aggressive, you can't walk off the island!" but if they're disciplined it's "you have committed the gravest sin imaginable, trusting a white man to do his job properly."

Randy being from two diff latin communities with varying slang and sarcasm/humor means we won't know how he really feels until he makes a statement. One translating tweeter doesn't really do anything for me. Agree that Cal can't one-sided clear it up tho also "vulgar rant" feels racially coded.

I’m rooting for my favorite American team in the World Baseball Classic (the Dominican Republic)

New findings suggest some planets may grow far larger than once thought, raising questions about their formation and how scientists define the boundary between planets and stars. 💫 https://bit.ly/4aZXOmP

Every now and again we get serious at the Tailgate lol. If you want to hear us talk about Lane Kiffin’s “Make Baton Rouge Great” tweet, here’s the link: 🎧: open.spotify.com/episode/6FtF...

Seidler not liking the deal is how you know it is a good deal.

We sent a letter to the National Women’s Soccer League expressing serious concern about their decision to reject the Washington Spirit’s contract agreement with Trinity Rodman.

The most thorough reporting I’ve seen on how Chat GPT is affecting some people’s mental health, (and what the company is doing about it). Great work from @kashhill.bsky.social and @Jen Valentino www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/t...

Instagram post from former player Nicole Baxter following the appearance of her former teammate on a conservative news network this morning. It reflects what others probably feel: have the conversation internally, not in a way that explicitly opens up players to abuse - that’s inexcusable.

Black owned farms make up less than 2% of all farmers. Many don't have access to the same loans/resources as White farmers. Many had to resort to selling off land between 1910 and 2007, resulting in a loss of 80% of black owned farmland. shoppeblack.us/black-owned-...

Congratulations to Blue Jays bench coach Don Mattingly, who is going to the World Series for the first time — 46 years after entering professional baseball.

Three-run homer for Astros C prospect Walker Janek for his second dinger of the Fall League. 99.9 mph off the bat, 386 feet the opposite way to right

Ever try the old Ben Hines drill? Machine set up off the mound to the opposite-field side. Makes you let the ball travel, stay inside it, work on top, and own the outer half. Goal: drive doubles to the oppo gap.

If you don't like watching Alejandro Kirk, I'm convinced you don't like watching baseball.

The older you get, the harder it is to improve bat speed, coordination, command, and athleticism. If you want to play at the next level, whatever that is for you, attack those areas while you're young and you can still make big gains. And don’t neglect the mental side. It's just as important.

We'll be back

In early 2024, a significant number of high-profile pitchers were sidelined due to injuries, prompting media outlets to speculate about a possible epidemic. Baseball players, the MLBPA, and MLB listed different sources of the issue: the pitch clock, the rise of movement-heavy pitches, and pitchers…

wheeee!

What a play by Hunter Greene. Shit.

Me: ¡Zapata vive, la lucha sigue! Mom: We have Zapata at home The Zapata at home:

Chase Burns is the first pitcher in at least the last 125 seasons with 10+ strikeouts in 4 of his first 8 career outings

Tina Charles said on Sue Bird’s podcast recently that play in the W has gotten LESS physical than it used to be. And the idea that physicality in the women’s game needs to be reigned in is rooted in very old sexist tropes that said women shouldn’t play sports bc they are too weak to do so. /fin

Cy-Fair alum Lindsey Harding is coaching the Lakers in Las Vegas, the second woman to be an NBA summer league head coach. She’s not stopping there. More on how Harding’s Houston roots inspired her to chase her dream of becoming an NBA head coach: www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/rocke...

I spoke with Cincinnati Reds infielder Santiago Espinal for the newest installment of Conversations with the Herd. He talked about players who have influenced him, his first big-league home run at Sahlen Field, playing with Elly De La Cruz, and much more: www.herdchronicles.com/single-post/...

This is insane shit. And we are pretending like we're gonna host the World Cup and The Olympics. We're telling MLB players "good luck out there"

Hooray for the Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona for winning his 2000th game. He's also won two World Championships with the Boston Red Sox. May he win a World Series with the Reds and become the 4th manager to win the WS in both leagues. #Reds #RedLegs #RedsNation #Tito2K @Reds.com

With their ninth pick, the Reds took 17-year-old SS Steele Hall, who reclassified so he could graduate a year early and enter the Draft. More on Hall here: www.mlb.com/reds/news/st...

Aaron Watson embraces major league dreams as Cincinnati Reds select him in second round of MLB draft

Hello from the beautiful Dominican Republic, where Josuar Gonzalez is showing some juice!

Eddy could talk sports science with the best of them. Freak athlete.

DeWanna Bonner has been in the league 16 years and won two championships. She played alongside Diana Taurasi. To imply that she “couldn’t handle the spotlight” in Indiana is absurd and insulting.

Chase Burns, Reds' top pitching prospect, shows off electric arsenal in historic MLB debut vs. Yankees

Chase Burns is the first starting pitcher in at least the expansion era (1961) to strike out his first 5 batters faced in his MLB debut h/t EliasSports
