@elephande.bsky.social I think we're still about 2 weeks away from hitting forever friends in Pokémon Go, but feel free to let me know here or in DMs if there's anything you're looking for so I can set it aside for you

wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Putting this marker down here in April: come September, Cincy will still be battling the Cubs and Brewers for the division (and I'm betting they take it.)

Was there a rain delay for Tigers/Reds? If not, the amount of empty seats on a Friday night makes me sad

Genuinely impressed at how many positions this Sal Stewart kid plays for the Reds. First, Second, & Third (and tonight started first and moved to third for the 9th.) He also impressed me at the game I went to Tuesday. Cincy seems to have gotten themselves a good one

A bill to allow people to buy a "hot" rotisserie chicken being lauded as revolutionary kindness is going to kill me.

you're telling me these tacos are made of pastors

It is April 24. The Braves are 11 games over .500. The Mets and Phillies have both had losing streaks of at least 10. An actual S-tier start to the season

A message on the Camden Yards scoreboard: No more fireworks tonight as the Orioles have hit too many home runs.

Came home at start Top 7th. Don't have Apple, listening to 690 feed on my phone. Just heard a Rick Jackson ad before Bottom 8th. As godawful as y'all made them sound, you undersold it. JFC

"A lethal kinetic strike." That does't sound like anything much, does it? Sorta like "an officer-involved shooting." But people wind up dead just the same.

This is a very nice video.

Digging the remote trade feature in Pokémon Go. Nice way to get region exclusives or event one-offs. Finally able to trade today with a Japanese friend (who has been an in-game friend since like 2018). Sent them yellow Oricorio, received an Okinawa exclusive Pikachu.

Tuesday, some conservative group sent me a spam text. Trolled them assuming it'd get me off of their list, as happened last time (Aug '24 I got a text from a group, sent nasty reply same day, & wk before election got "you've been unsubscribed..." msg.) But no, I've gotten spam yesterday & today too

Braves totally in the heads of Facebook Phils fans. Saw a baseball page over there post Taijuan Walker was released. No fewer than a dozen PHI fans in the comments with things like: "Watch him throw a shutout against us this weekend" "Braves sign him for the minimum & Hef fixes him" & so on

Saw that we released Sandy Leon so he could sign in the Mexican League. He'll have a future coaching somewhere once he retires

Took Soroka 101 pitches to get through 5, so presumably his day is done. AZ batting in bottom 5th, tied at 1. If they don't score this inning, Soroka will get a ND after picking up the W in his first four starts this year

The @Braves have won 12 of their last 15 🔥

Alex Jones yesterday, April 22nd of 2026, is once again saying the Sandy Hook massacre was a false flag done by "professional shooters." It is imperative we take over that studio as soon as possible.

6-1 intradivision road trip. Doesn't get much better than that

Another bomb!

Drake with his first steal & 4-for-4 on challenges. Even on an "off" day (3K in first 3AB), he's contributing

That was an awesome double play there

Dubón swinging at some wild stuff lately. May need a day off to regroup

As one who wears a lot of Hawaiian shirts, Money Mike's in the pregame interview was awesome

Just watched a bunch of Dodgers/Giants b/c A) Ohtani start B) Had to remind myself who all is on the Giants since I'm seeing them next Friday 😅

Crazy two days, but: 17-8 overall 5-1 so far on road trip 7-2 against the division Only team to not lose a series Only team to not blow a save I'll take it!

And this is only his second full season in MLB. The kid is crazy good

Seemed obvious Heim would be the cut when Murph returns. (Do you really need 3 catchers? Was 0-fer for a while at the dish. Farmer's an emergency catcher.) But he's caught three shutouts and pulled his average up to almost .250. Also, Farmer's had the least playing time on team. Which do you cut?

Surprised they let Littell stay in tonight face Money Mike a third time

Hopefully Didier is able to settle in, because lord knows we can put runs of our own

This was great (wish they could have also gotten Mark Bankston in addition to Mattei, though. He's always hilarious.) If people want more, Knowledge Fight's "Formulaic Objections" series of episodes about the Sandy Hook trials is consistently fascinating.

Damn, dude. Gwinnett's lineup tonight could take a Best of 5 series against the Mets right now 😂

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

MUNETAKA MURAKAMI HOMERS FOR A 4TH STRAIGHT GAME!

Rays had the thing where they load $10/ticket onto your wallet for April home games (think I got a text from the Braves advertising the same thing.) $30 in free money to play with, so snagged a free hat ($28 + tax = $29.96)

Rays bring a position player in to pitch top 9th 2 pitches, 2 outs Then Elly takes a 1-1 pitch deep Then he gets the next batter out on 1 pitch. 6 pitch inning 😂 12-2 Cincy going to bottom 9th

Pierce Johnson sighting!

Well, damn. Glad I'm not watching tonight 😅 Meanwhile, I just saw Cincy's 3rd homer & we're still top 2nd. (I wanted a high offense, 12-10 type game. Reds doing their part at least lol)

Elly bullet of a line drive for a two run homer

Starting lineups

As always the no zoom view fromy seat. Today at the Trop, section 127

Score! 3 tix = $30 bucks in credits for merch or food

Sigh 😞 childhood friend (who is super religious, super conservative) homeschools her kid (just turned 10 IIRC.) Stuff like this is why I feel like 99% of homeschooling should be banned. You're getting a great cinema education watching Jaws, but not a great science lesson

Starting pitching probables for the game I'll go see tomorrow night looks good, even though I don't want a pitching duel 😅 (I want a ton of offense, Elly/Stewart/Suarez vs Simpson/Caminero/Diaz)

Elder going into the 7th despite 90+ pitches & getting those two outs, plus the top 9th insurance runs, were so huge for us.

Agree on MJ (& the 2002 NBA playoffs later on in thread) Did "Reagan committed treason with Iran to win the election vs Carter" ever get confirmed, or is that still in rumor/conspiracy theory land? Usha's pregnancy is secretly why Vance recently suggested he may not run for POTUS in '28.

I reiterate...

So I guess this expands Wrigely’s fowl territory
