Just your routine 3-4-6 fielder's choice, ending with Spencer Torkelson covering first base without a glove.

Fran McCaffery, formerly of Iowa hoops, just threw a strike to the Phanatic for the ceremonial first pitch prior to Reds-Phillies.

Penn MBBALL has never been more back.

@thegoalkeeper and I go wild, @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social shakes his head in disapproval (probably).

Thank you for bearing with me.

On the latest episode of the “Big Pod Machine” podcast, Gordon and I started arguing about how the Reds should be posturing relative to playoff likelihood. And now there’s a wager that will result in one of us jumping in the Ohio River: t.co/kI3679puDG

Terry Francona said Noelvi Marte needs reps, not a bus ride in the Phoenix Valley to go get an at-bat. And they told him to break the door down.

Reports coming out of Monterrey that Tigres are firing Veljko Paunović because of tensions between him and the players & he’ll be replaced by Guido Pizarro, who played the full 90 last night in a match Tigres won.

Certainly a bold gambit ahead of the next round of CCC.

A day will come when @pbrennanenq.bsky.social and I are the last two people on Earth who care about this sort of minutiae. Hopefully we'll be sat on the patio of a bar somewhere not bothering anyone else about it.
