Contrast that may speak to the two franchises analytical approach Giants are letting even young guys like Trevor McDonald call their own pitches Marlins use Bendix’s laptop, call pitches from dugout (Both seem wrong) McDonald out there sweating, looking for the PC button 3 walks in first inning

MLB stuck between trying to sell shit and not pissing off the Christian nationalists Article says it gave players a “routine warning.” Oxymoron. If you warn repeatedly for the same thing it’s not discipline

9th inning, 6-5 Pirates lead 2 on, 2 out, 0-2 count You want a contact guy up, put it in play, don’t strike out etc etc

Story of the Cubs 2026 offense in a box score Bregman has now left 140+ men on base

is Ben Rice healthy? 0 barrels in June (Career 15%) Also idk how Goldy is doing it but 83.5 EV and 23% HH = Jake Meyers (or Trea Turner this year, unfortunately)

#JuneKnowWhatIMean #musicchallenge …15) Hey little boy, would you like to know What's in my pocket or not youtu.be/G53DW71BlNk

Proof everyone sees what they want to You don’t get the landing space rule when you kick your foot out to draw contact Be happy Brunson sold the 3 FT on Harper with the scissor kick at 70-58 SGA carries the grifter tag but this little guy gets 26 FTA in 2 games and ppl are like, oh magic!

Since Mike Brown bitched about fouls: NY 56 FTA, SA 38 Brunson 26, Wemby 12 So the 7’4 guy gets fouled less than the stubby 6’1 guy When the alien’s team led for 85% of those 2 games Maybe he’ll learn this BS for next year:

Tbh it felt like more than 97% It was dumb when Atkinson said it but this is truly the series the loser is winning analytically

New savant swing timing & miss distance leaderboards Mostly useless for fantasy But this checks out for Devers He swings ferociously but misses under even on meatballs

So Mike Brown not only isn’t fined for his game 3 comments Early 3rd quarter and Brunson alone has more FT attempts than the Spurs The entire SA team Who have a massive lead and Knicks are chasing, reaching, striving desperately 25 FT to 8

#JuneKnowWhatIMean #musicchallenge On the album it ends in “???” youtu.be/izw1_LYSThU

I know it’s verboten to say anything bad about Brunson But he hasn’t been that good in this series 37% FG, 31.8% 3FG, .414 EFG% 1:1 AST:TO ratio (13 each) Also decades watching nba and I’ve never seen guys allowed to play left tackle on D

Miss me with the Knicks “all time great run” and “team of destiny” They beat a 7 seed Sixers, 6 seed Hawks, and (Hardenized) Cavs 4 seed Major rest advantage b/w last 3 series Finals games all close, Spurs led the majority of minutes across gm. 1 & 2

Hey let me reach out and push you in the chest as you drive the ball, no foul, right? Shamet was straight holding Wemby by the wrists a couple trips earlier But the Spurs blew it, youthful mistakes, offense is not efficient

Knicks fans killed this roster as mismatched but it’s arguably the best starting 5 in the league Elite defender who averaged 26 one season but he’s the fifth banana

If it feels like Luzardo’s whiffs are down, well they are FF and SW down 11% and 7% from April -> May Sinker usage declined in May but used 50% as primary putaway pitch? That’s asking for contact He led with it today (93.4 EV)

OG lol Brunson was restrained but OG, Hart and KAT are worthy understudies In a 2 pt game with under 4 to play this shit matters

First time I can remember deGrom concern for non injury reasons Pacing for almost 40 HR allowed 91.4 EV, 11.5 brl%, 46 HH% are scary QoC numbers too 5 top 10 round picks are bottom 20 in HR/9

They’ve run out of ideas but not $, which of course not because the status quo is super profitable and gouges sick Americans (or those who just feel bad about themselves) Thankfully the Dems will take the great opportunity before them to do something significant ab—

It’s ok, but also written with a bit of credulous wonder and uncritical acceptance — the $446M LA-Mia disparity Manfred touts IS deceiving (esp as LAD CBT $ lines the Marlins pockets), a cap does not “solve” disparities, he buries the benefits bit (which don’t factor in any other sport’s cap), etc

Jeff wrote 1000 words on Kelce and never mentioned the uber cheap current majority owners (the Dolans) We need to stop letting owners remain anonymous functionaries (especially as Passan has written about 700 pro cap pieces lately) www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

It’s astounding the Spurs still haven’t figured out how to get Wemby the ball in ideal locations. Also- because he doesn’t have the ball, Hartenstein is able to grab and hold and wrangle him. It’s a weird contrast to the SGA / Brunson type, where possession supercharges the grift

#MayBeNot #musicchallenge ^^26++ Oh you don’t listen, do you asshole? Don’t be a punk all your life youtu.be/h-jpBWLEqpA

Idk if Ben Rice’s bizarre thumb injury is still bothering him or the near-week off screwed up his rhythm, but since retuning May 8: .177 BA, .602 OPS, 66 wRC+ 4 HR and K% normal but EV & barrel% down 3 pts and hard hit down 10% Batting 5th today, lowest since mid-April vs LHP

Joey Cantillo’s 21.9 K% doesn’t add up? 19th among Qual. SP with 12.5 SwStr% 29th in CStr% @ 16.8% 15th in CSW @ 29.3% But 41st with 21.9 K% But: he’s -20 k-bb% in 3-2 and 3-1 counts vs last year

After missing a popup in the sun earlier in the inning - Chapman’s “double” Vargas did this on a Bader popup with 2 outs bases loaded Two pitches later, grand slam
