they’re playing stand by me i am on the floor

With MLB's postseason coming to an end and *everything* going on right now, felt like a good time to give some money to help others. 377 runs scored in the playoffs means $377 to a food pantry network here in Des Moines.

Jonas Brothers get to sing a song and is that Matt Turner, the goalkeeper in the little crowd around them?

Dingers from two first basemen, is this the Brewers?!

Grant Anderson, well done. Couple of K’s and a well executed pickoff

I’ll take 3 innings and getting Busch out twice. Nice use of a lefty against some hitters who struggle against them. Not sure he gets to PCA again though

Packers not in the bottom 5 is kind of amazing. But maybe MLF and Jordan are more comfortable in those situations so they can take less time.

this is all made funnier by the universal opinion of service staff at these events that the Euros are way nicer and cooler than the American golfers, who are all weird badly socialized cats raised as test tube golf savants

Packers offensive EPA and ranks by quarter before and after last night's game. Before: 9.65 (8th), 8.09 (9th), -2.15 (15th), -4.71 (18th) After: 17.80 (4th), 3.95 (17th), 3.32 (9th), 8.50 (6th), 2.03 (1st) The 2.03 is OT and only 3 teams have played OT. DAL also improved in EPA in OT last night.

When do we start considering moving Arch to running back at the next level?

Packers WR are catching the ball!!

Frelick with not even an excuse me single sets up Chourio for two run dinger, let’s gooooo! Frelick: 82.4 mph off the bat (53.6 mph swing) Chourio: 98.7 mph

Ashby to Fedde, oh boy. See how this goes, can the offense score more than 5 again?

Hey look, a catcher to give Contreras some time off. Over /under 7 days off the rest of the season for him…

As @aaronwilsonnfl.bsky.social noted elsewhere " #Packers have finalized deal with second-round pick Anthony Belton, per a league source. Deal worth $8.016 million with $2.47 million bonus and 72.95 percent total guaranteed, a major increase from last year's 61.95 percent total guarantee at No. 54"

Freddy Peralta's Stand Up To Cancer sign said "Bob Uecker" 😭

This is an Abner pitching situation? Really?

Juventus released their away kit for 25/26. It feels a lot like the Philadelphia Union kit from 2021.

Just a Daz-zling dinger

That should help the launch angle

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

Don't care this was a run

Brewers are 19-5 when scoring 4+ runs, Orioles are 13-6. With that scary 7th, we're now at the fun stage of "something's gotta give" Brewers 2-3 when both teams score 4+, O's 5-6

Does @pablo.show or @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social need new soccer kits?

Winnipeg has both the Jets and Blue Bombers. There is probably some aviation in Winnipeg or something, right? Nope, looks like Jets 1.0 owner was a NY Jets fan. The Jets subreddit post featured this unfortunate comment as well. I believe that would be Sam Darnold

Everton players who scored in the most games without losing. #EFC

Is that number one?

PTKU all the way but broken down by 20.16 for the last year Luther beat Wartburg (Go Knights) 22 for the 22 year bowl streak that Wisconsin just lost. Luke, get us back there 20.19 for the 2024 Cy-Hawk score (Go State). 1.65 because boo to fees @newap-georgia.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social

Since the Brewers are still not active here, I'll share this. With 12 RBI, 6 XBH, 3 HR, 2 2B & 1 SB in his last three games, Jackson Chourio joined Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, & Shohei Ohtani as the only players in MLB history to hit those marks over a three game span. Also, don't forget Alt Text folks

Brewers home uniforms still have the small names on the back, gosh darn it

First game on FDSNWI, actually watchable in central Iowa, lots of home runs and offense, what could possibly be wrong? It’s almost all Yankees, that’s what

Way too early hot take: Yankees won the trade

106.4 from Hoskins but right at Volpe, oof

Hudson called almost all balls correctly. But looks like the strike zone was also 2-5 ball widths wider than normal.

Very few sliders for Freddy on opening day. Just 2 and neither was close to the zone.

Because @brewers.com aren't really doing anything here, thanks Mark! Frelick 5th is a bit of a surprise but okay

In case you didn't have enough Brewers content to consume before Opening Day, this from Matt goes into great detail about what Murph has to consider with lineups and pitcher usage.

Another great Uecker article! I clicked through to see Bob's @fangraphs.com page and I think his birth year is off (should be 1934). It does also list him as being alive still, this might be a data feed issue

Anyone know how to nominate a goal for the Puskás Award?

As of 8:40 am, Chuck Grassley's voicemail box is full. I was able to leave a message with Joni Ernst's office. Here's to that being a good sign

Everton get 3 points away to Brighton! Up the Toffees!

SEC Network (Florida - Georgia gymnastics) just has an OSU commercial for their football team. ESPN I’d understand but on SEC’s channel, wow.

Oh hey, still nothing in Iowa for the Brewers on FanDuel but the Twins fixed their blackout.

Meanwhile, in Iowa Iowa legislators introduce bill to establish School of Intellectual Freedom at UI, focusing on free inquiry and civic engagement www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/e...

Net success rate for the 18 Green Bay Packers games this season. A mixed bag of results. They weren't more successful and victorious until the Cardinals game. Both Vikings games they were more successful but lost both. The three standout performances make sense (SF, SEA, NO).

Disappointed McKinney didn't make the DPOY finalists. Packers didn't have anyone else who deserved to make a list

Oh what the hell. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

Managing Editor for Eggs is a job title. I love it.

No scheduled Brewers games with TBS/Max in the first part of the season press.wbd.com/us/media-rel...

Projected 1.1M by @mlbtraderumors.bsky.social I would be stunned if that option is exercised by the Angels
