you can't say the commissioner of baseball is a celebrity in attendance. might as well say "the starting shortstop is also here tonight"

And a third (eventual) 3,000 K pitcher actually started the game! There have only been 20 so far, and 3 pitched that day.

The 2012 blowup involved 2 multi-RBI hits in the top of the ninth so maybe that’s why it doesn’t register?

Anyway, 2012 was definitely worse because I was there.

Picturing decisive moments in history but with AJ Pierzynski leaning in to tell someone to bunt.

Before Gaugamela:
Parmenion - “I would accept the terms the Persians offer, if I were Alexander”

Alexander - “I would too, if I were Parmenion”

Pierzynski - “I would bunt here, if I were batting”

Do you guys think that the praying mantis is watching this Robles replay

The Undertaker, a man whose job is to ensure proper burial of corpses, is himself a corpse?
This seems like a conflict of interest

What a finish to the @washingtonspirit.com game. And since my daughter is out with friends I think I’m gonna be asked to watch it again later tonight with her. Fine by me. Insane ending.

YouTube video by Rhett Shull The Quiet Death of G&L Guitars (is Fender buying them?)

Sad to see G&L guitars did indeed shut down. Tariffs were a part of the problem (although not the only problem). Small passionate niche US company that was special. I wonder if there just isn’t room for that kind of company anymore. youtu.be/1KGcfH3gzxE?...

I’m 100% sure she’s right but also if memory serves Strasburg did it 4 times in 2019

7+ triples and 5+ home runs in a calendar month, last 120 seasons:

2025 Sept Daylen Lile
1957 June Willie Mays
1931 July Al Simmons
1930 June Freddy Leach
1929 July Babe Herman
1925 May Ty Cobb
1921 May Ty Cobb
1914 May Ed Lennox
1911 July Frank Schulte

Favorite player of that Yankees era. Come out of nowhere at a time when every new great player was an expensive free agent. Was so smooth and brought so much sauce to that team.

She smelled like soup. She smelled exactly like beef vegetable soup.

As someone who grew up rooting for the Yankees and adopted the Nats as soon as they appeared in DC, I’m seriously thinking about getting a Trent Grisham shirsey. I’m appreciative of what he’s done for both teams.

@sammillerbb.bsky.social just listened to the Roundtable Stanton discussion and wanted to share two thoughts. First is Nats fans definitely remember how bad Jayson Werth was for most of the time they were supposed to be contending.
Second is this tweet from Stanton. Giancarlo for HOF

Well well well how the turntables…

There’s a fan at the Nats game today wearing a Bryce Harper Phillies jersey. The Nats are playing the Athletics. That is Philadelphia-level obnoxiousness and I respect it

I take it back. He appears to be broken

Mackenzie Gore doesn’t look like he stinks. The pitch after this begs to differ

This is also what gets yelled when there’s a dimensional convergence in the Cheers multiverse

You guys wanna see a dead body?

I don’t know if he had to look in the yellow pages to find their number or if it was in some local flyer or the Gaithersburg Gazette or something.

Also, my parents’ reaction was not only justified, it is basically my feeling whenever I order from one of those apps today.

I remember as a kid being at a friend’s house and he used a local service Waiter on the Way. You’d call them and they’d pick up fast food. He got Wendy’s. I remember asking my parents to do it and they were basically like “that’s only for people who are rich or extremely irresponsible with money.”

Bro-em

It’s the debris flying onto the players that really fires up the crowd. And the possibility of actual fires

Maybe if there was also a race at the same time?

You’re telling me this isn’t Matt Williams?
