As someone who enjoys strategy discussions across different genres of games and sports, this is brilliant. Well done.

The only bad thing is that Shohei Ohtani has ended any reasonable "who is the best player ever" argument. Bonds, Ruth, Mays, Trout...if you want to make a WAR case, a value case, that's different, but Shohei Ohtani is the best to ever play baseball.

I have never seen anyone do this or even come close to it. amazing.

An epic way to finish an epic game.

Wow. The Angels announced the passing of Garret Anderson, an Angels Hall of Famer and 2002 World Series champion. He was 53 years old.

Home Run No. 7 April 16 at NYY Distance: 445 feet Exit velocity: 114.6 mph

I second this. I don't know if it's the sun, the feeling of skipping work, less traffic to get in, or smaller lines at the park, but there's something about weekday afternoon games.

The Brewers put their mascots in the media guide with other team employees. Pretty funny.

UCLA wins the Natty

"We decided to be national champions" Gabriela Jaquez

All THREE of Jo Adell's home run robberies from tonight ... Yes, you read that right 😮

This thread contains all three! home run robberies in one game.

What a block from Lauren Betts on Madison Booker

"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

HOLY SHIT UCONN

I love baseball.

I know this has circulated with alacrity recently, so you may have already seen it, but if you haven't... WOW BOY HOWDY it's the most useful thing. Thank you cardcatalogforlife.substack.com -- this is a very very very helpful public service: cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

Angels ready for the season. Opening day is four days away!

best sport in the world.

Tubi is going to have a larger live audience than normal tomorrow for Italy-Mexico.

Posting again now that the WBC game has gone final. USA needs either an Italy win or a high-scoring Mexico win over Italy on Wednesday at the World Baseball Classic. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Because I'm a data nerd, made a quick spreadsheet to outline WBC tiebreaker scenarios involving USA, Mexico and Italy assuming this score ends 8-5: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

A very normal UCLA game.

Fun fact. The tariffs have changed twice since this was posted.

Well, even after yesterday’s disastrous quotes by the owner, I’m still interested in seeing the Angels’ spring training opener, let’s see how they’re doing:

“The number one thing fans want is affordability,” Moreno said. “They want affordability. They want safety, and they want a good experience when they come to the ballpark. Believe it or not, winning is not in their top five.”

The drama when someone's route is blocked.

Reposting with ALT because this kind of phenomenal disdain and disrespect from within the industry literally against two of their own titles and the designer who made them is important to recognize.

Wingspan - $9.99 Gloomhaven - $9.79 Carcassonne - $2.99 Splendor - $1.99 Root - $5.99 Dune Imperium - $16.09 Spirit Island - $9.99 Ark Nova - $17.24 Lords of Waterdeep - $4.99 Race for the Galaxy - $5.59 Cascadia - $11.24 Mystic Vale - $2.59 One Deck Galaxy - $6.49 ... Lots more too!

It'll be fun, I promise!

It’s Penguin Awareness Day which seems like a great excuse to post the greatest ever Wikipedia edit.

Honestly might be the most incredible story in college football history.

Doink from SkyCam

I will say, I enjoyed the fact that 99% of the NFL talk on here yesterday and today wasn’t people screaming at each other about Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson and which one is more coddled by the media. Good work Bluesky.

Tracking Bsky user activity during Bears-Rams: you can really see the exact moment that Caleb made the throw to take it to OT, and then there's another peak but idk what that is let's ignore that one

There’s no way to really properly put it in context besides repetition: This is the greatest turnaround I’ve ever seen or that you’ve ever seen

Happy New Year to all of you! Here’s hoping your 2026 is better than your 2025, regardless of whether you had a good or bad 2025. You all deserve it!

A CHEEZ-IT DRAGON

My neighbor is a nurse who sees a lot of death and frequently comes home from her overnight shifts wrecked with trauma and I just think our health care workers need more support because they can’t be expected to carry all this while they all have PTSD from the pandemic Why can’t we help them

My kids are home for Christmas, and our family has been playing the shit out of Flip 7. It actually knocked Sushi Go out of first place, where it's been for 12 years. It's a simple press your luck game that is way more fun than a press your luck game has any right to be. I highly recommend it.

Who is asking for this

Halfway to perfection.

My MLB wrapped is telling me I have a problem, I watch way too much baseball. Note that this mostly doesn’t include Angels or Dodgers games in my home market.

my annual list of my all-time top 100 board games is now up, a bit later as I removed Amazon links in favor of smaller vendors: meadowparty.com/blog/2025/12...

I keep wondering when a program will try a Moneyball-like approach and intentionally hire a lower-paid coach (promoting a coordinator or hiring from G5/FCS, etc.) while putting the extra money into NIL.

UCLA did something smart? I’m suspicious
