I'll never forget that spineless piece of crap trying to justify his sellout as anything but a cash grab. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jun/08/phil-mickelson-liv-golf-series-pga-tour-players-saudi-arabia#:~:text=Mickelson%20described%20the%20Saudis%20as,of%20a%20new%20unauthorised%20biograp...

Rory doesn't make it easy , I suppose that's just part of who he is , the way he plays ... The weird part was that he wasn't playing recklessly at all when he had the lead. He just hit a handful of bad shots at bad times. Mental? Physical? Shit happens? A combo of all of the above? I have no idea. ...

Apart from Tax Day, it is also Jackie Robinson Day — a day I have been kind of standoffish about, but I embrace it this year, as honoring a civil rights icon is suddenly a dangerous act of defiance and resistance this year. I'm with you on this. I have no issue with Jackie Robinson Day. In fact, I ...

I haven't paid attention to golf in so long I hadn't realized Rory got so old. I'm happy for him. Seems like a great guy. I like that he spoke out without reservation against the Saudi league. I'm also glad he won because his name is among the few I recognize on the leaderboard (Scheffler, Bubba Wat...

Joe Ryan on the mound for the Twins. I don't think I've ever heard of him, but his numbers suggest he's good. Career WHIP of 1.06. Seems like the guy doesn't walk anyone. Career ERA is 3.88, so maybe he gives up lots of HRs or something.

Clay Holmes for us.

Yup. He now has 500 PAs in the big leagues and has a .658 career OPS. Put another way, about 70 points lower than Tyrone Taylor.

He’s certainly young enough to improve and may well end up a star, but he’s not anywhere close to one yet.

Looks like the Mets started hitting after I had to leave for dinner. For the record I’m ok with that.

Kinda. Looks like an incredible athlete. Super fast. But very long-limbed. Almost too long. Like it’s hard for him to have fine coordination because of it. I felt this way about Amed Rosario. I don’t think he’ll ever be a very good contact hitter because of it. It looks like he can hit one out when ...

Mets win! Braves lose! Phillies lose!

They hang on. Diaz has no clue where the ball is going.

Canning has a strange delivery.

This is such a strange conversation. You keep quoting me and then having this argument about prospects but I'm pretty sure I'm not having that argument with you. I mean. You asked me about prospects, so I answered you a few posts ago. I think baseball prospects are harder to project than other sport...

Some food for thought. This was much less random than I would have guessed. NFL Super Bowl Participants. Super Bowl 2025: 2 Seed vs. 2 seed. Super Bowl 2024: 1 Seed vs. 2 Seed Super Bowl 2023: 1 Seed vs. 1 Seed Super Bowl 2022: 4 Seed vs. 4 Seed Super Bowl 2021: 1 Seed vs. 5 Seed Super Bowl 2020: 1 ...

I think small sample size is only part of the reason win percentages are higher. I certainly agree. Football and basketball are far less random than baseball. Indeed. This is certainly what I was trying to say. Number 1 seeds very rarely lose in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Happens in baseb...

I think small sample size is only part of the reason win percentages are higher. Football and basketball are far less random than baseball.

All the young guys. Baty is kinda the poster boy right now. But Acuna’s not far behind. Mauricio and Gilbert never recover. Sproat got knocked around in his first start.

Even Vientos looks lost. Alvarez is hurt.

They can’t all suck right?

Just saw Atlanta took the lead and felt disappointed.

So I guess that’s the answer.

How did Holmes look. As bad as his line?

I’m having trouble deciding who I want to win the Phillies Braves game. On the one hand it would be nice to be in first place. But it would be nice to see Atlanta buried.

One of those weird moments where I find myself sad that Dotel was a victim of this tragedy, then realizing it's such a strange thought to think "Oh man, it's so sad that the guy I used to watch on TV died rather than a bunch of Dominicans I don't know either".

I fear and hate the Braves. Too many years of bad memories.

I don’t like Philadelphia. But it’s not close to the disdain I have for the Braves.

I’m meh about Washington or the Nats. I’d have no issue rooting for them to beat a team we’re fighting for the wild card.

Come on Pete. Lefty on the mound.
