Re: Sogard's double, Judge's throw to 2B clocked in at 73.2 mph. He didn't charge the ball, either In the regular season, his throws to bases on similar plays almost always topped 90+mph

Yankees lineup no. 1 thru 4 last night were all former MVPs

I felt it too

Diaz = Mets pitcher no. 6 in the game 10 = Mets record for pitchers used in a 9-inning game Most ever = 11 pitchers (SF vs COL on 10/4/2015)

This is the second time this series and 63rd time in their careers that identical twins Tyler and Taylor Rogers have pitched in the same game It will NEVER stop being incredibly cool Baseball is the BEST

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

Everyone in and around baseball knows that extreme velocity is correlated with elbow injury. But it’s also necessary to get noticed. So how are young pitchers and their parents navigating the pressure to chase speed while navigating known risks? For @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/p...

They never got a comment from U of Nebraska. They never got comment from the Jewish student. Millions of people get blackout drunk and *don't* draw swatstikas on Jewish students' dorm room doors. Yankees' decision to draft him = dumb
