hate to say I told you so

Wow! Inspiring. It was a warm day yesterday and I had that early-summer nostalgia feeling so I put on Destruction by Definition and it still rocked.

oh wow I thought those guys broke up after Keith Lockhart left to lead the BBC Concert Orchestra

47 years on!

The Suicide Machines released a new single last month

Huh, I thought everybody had (like me) the opposite problem: Insisting on finishing a book no matter how little you're getting out of it, and no matter how bad in destroys your reading momentum.

Feels like he wrote this on the wrong team's whiteboard?

there's a new trend among young people called "microliving" they close their eyes for a few seconds and experience a rich and fulfilling life from start to finish in their minds. birth. friendship. love. heartbreak. joy. loss. grief. death. but how does this affect their productivity at work

9.7? If you tell me it's a 9.7 for you I'll be over the moon

This Twisted Teens record Blame The Clown is like a 9.7 for me

Waldron is cheek to cheek

This is hipaa

I normally avoid it entirely but PCA's just picking random words and nouns out of nowhere

Dodgers fans are, I hate to say it, very good, actually.

he's gotta scream after every strikeout for the rest of his life so it doesn't look as fishy that he screamed after K'ing Ohtani in BP last week

When asked about the rumour that the band's name refers to a fire in an arcade, Win Butler replied: "It's not a rumour."

It's not a rumour

Ball got wedged between the rim and the backboard last night and I jumped up and dislodged it. "day I became a father" had a nice long run at the top but records are meant to be broken.

(I'm on episode 953 for research purposes)

Wow, Ben's worst take ever really slipped by unacknowledged! "It almost devalues a perfect game when a guy makes a really incredible catch to save it."

Yeah it's very beautiful. He almost makes it look too smooth to really appreciate how hard it was. Also, always forget how fast he was.

that's the one

"Sam believes that if Rich Hill had pulled off a perfect game, Puig's catch would have gone down as one of the greatest catches in history. Instead, it will be remembered by only a handful of people."

Confirmed! I have no recollection of this catch.

Ultimate Double Feature: Vivre Sa Vie & The Passion of Joan of Arc What is an “Ultimate Double Feature”? You might ask… Y’know when the characters in a movie go to...

The Brattle theater is playing what they call the Ultimate Double Feature: “we play the first movie up until the point when the characters enter a cinema to watch a different film”, then play the entirety of that 2nd film, then finish up the 1st film. (via @tcarmody.bsky.social) [brattlefilm.org]

Let It Fly Guys take pitches they wish they hadn't.

So excited bout R.J. joining the Nationals that I made a two minute supercut of the face of the franchise conspicuously failing, weird pebblehunting.substack.com/p/let-it-fly

Aaron Judge hitting with nine defenders bunched around the mound, from a spring training photograph taken by the Athletic's Chris Kirschner

love to see defensive shifts coming back

R.J. is very special, to me and also just objectively. He has basically become the Voice inside my head. Incredibly high standards, totally immune to bullshit, no personal agenda other than great work. If 99 baseball insiders said one thing and he said the other I’d follow him. Godspeed and go Nats.

Brian Anderson gets Andrew Knapp with a great play | Baseball Savant Videos Brian Anderson gets Andrew Knapp with a great play | Baseball Savant Videos

this is the only throw I ever needed to see twice baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-video...

haha yeah I remember having that take. That throw has aged better in my memory. Most throws don't impress me.

watching a compilation called "MLB's craziest throws" and there's one of Brandon Phillips throwing behind his back to the shortstop, who is Eugenio Suarez! That is crazy.
