After Game 1 of Cubs Wild Card I told my wife I missed this and I didn't. Feeling like you're gonna die for 2.5 hours, but hey, you might be happy when it ends!

Bad teams play bad baseball, pt. N+1:

Pirates start 3-5 with a BB and HBP against one of the worst starters in baseball.

Sacrifice bunt!

Pirates are 1-12 since.

I’m sure they just need more revenue sharing and a payroll cap and maybe a pony.

I love Last Jedi so much. Rise of Skywalker was disappointing, yeah

pretty much everything, but if i had to single something out, it's Rey being such a badass. One moment? I'll go with her using the force to get the lightsaber toward the end of Force Awakens. When the lightsaber flies by Kylo

absurdly consistent. Haven't been more than five above or below .500, haven't been swept in a three game series. Haven't won more than five in a row. It's funny

Cade Horton with a 1.05 ERA in his last six starts. 0.00 in last four

I don't think a casual would see a fourth home run and scoff due to the pitching matchup, no.

And it's such a hard feat, no one should bother with such trivialities imo.

Did you break down all the non-competitive no-hitters? There have been a lot.

And i have no doubt the average, casual sports fan has broken it down like this

We are smart enough to narrow it down to high-level feats by players

It is objectively cooler to hit four ding dongs compared to not allowing a hit. Objectively. It is not debatable. bsky.app/profile/matt...

Not only is a 4-HR game far cooler than a no-hitter, I'm triggered at how many people seem to disagree with this opinion. 326 no-hitters vs. 20 4-HR games and look at the reaction from the masses all over social media or anywhere in personal interactions. So many more people care about no-nos. Sigh.

good replies to the original. Maybe this place does have Twitter vibes after all

so the Cubs now have the best record in baseball but only a 1-game lead in their division. And the Tigers have the best AL record. Central Strong πŸ’ͺ

Could easily name SΓ nchez and then replace him with Peterson

It is stupid that All-star replacements are determined by when guys start. We are going to look back and say Ranger Suarez and Cristopher Sanchez weren't All-Stars because they couldn't pitch in the game, but David Peterson is an All-Star.

Snyder's Soapbox: Sure, the Nationals won the Juan Soto trade, but shouldn't the rebuild be over by now? At some point, fleecing other organizations is supposed to actually win you something

Kershaw getting bombed in the All-Star Game would be good comedy.

The Bear is back and I'm annoyed at myself bc I'm definitely gonna watch it but also feel like I'm gonna hate it.

Snyder's Soapbox: We, sports fans, are the smart ones, even with all the heartbreak Do you know people who don't care about sports? Pity them. We have all the fun

There's a lot of bad stuff out there. We need and deserve escapes. Thank you, Sports, for being the best escape there is
