And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

Establishing chemistry with a group that would get played off the floor in five minutes of playoff basketball is important 💪

It’s officially Opening Day in the NBA.

If I may have one tiny request this season, please try to enjoy the basketball.

Don’t break your brain trying to analyze every last detail.

We live in a world that can suck joy away like a Dyson.

So this year, when watching the NBA.

Just. Have. Fun.

Shohei Ohtani tonight put on maybe the best performance in baseball history, and perhaps all of sports.

Three home runs, no outs made, six shutout innings with 10 Ks, to go to the World Series.

Transcendant.

Shohei Ohtani pitched 6 scoreless innings allowing only 2 hits and struck out 10 batters and hit 3 home runs as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 to complete the sweep and advance to the World Series.

No one has ever seen anything like this before.

Shohei Ohtani is the first player with 3 homers and 10 strikeouts as a pitcher in a game

A'ja Wilson is the 2025 WNBA Most Valuable Player!

msrachelforlittles @ 1h Follow The group @stop_antisemitism is calling me evil for wanting starving children to have food. They called for me to be investigated by the DOJ because I care about Palestinian children, along with all children. It's led to me getting threats, needing security & they've tried to ruin my career. It's been incredibly painful. But the pain doesn't compare in the slightest to what the children of Gaza experience. And my dedication to children & their human rights is stronger than any of it.

If you understand how LLMs work, this is unsurprising.

This is also why it is absolutely critical to push back against the Trump Admin's efforts to keep 'woke' out of AI, or whatever they're calling that particular bigotry today - even if you disapprove of AI and are usually "team let them fight."

Today is the final day that the #Lakers have to waive Shake Milton before fully guaranteeing his contract for next season. #NBASky

With WNBA growth on full display, players utilize All-Star weekend to send CBA message: 'We’re fighting for what we’re due' On Saturday, in front of a sold-out Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the players packed a punch with yet another black T-shirt screaming their message clearly, this time about the CBA they're negotiating with t...

WNBA players knew exactly what they were doing last night with T-shirts reading "Pay Us What You Owe Us" during warm-ups. Because they've been successful at it before.

I would expect another move to clear more money to be able to sign Smart.

Smart has regressed since moving from the Celtics but can still be an effective defender and secondary playmaker. Health and minimized role will be key to his success with the #Lakers. Lakers need to clear some $ to fit his BAE under the 1st apron. Shoutout to bballindex for the graphic. #NBASky

He can waive it to be in AZ near Bryce no? Assuming he doesnt wanna stay in LA

Well heres maybe why:

1) Lebron would be a talent upgrade
2) Richards is (somewhat) expendable with their bigs on the roster
3) They (prob) dnt wanna commit to another guard in JGreen and his contract since they already have Book’s new extension so they gain flexibility with Bron’s expiring

They shouldn’t, but they theoretically can now that they’re under both aprons right? Just food for thought.

Hell, the Suns can even sign Chris Paul to be their point guard for the season…

So now that the PHX Suns are under both aprons, couldn’t they trade for LeBron and Bronny by sending out Jalen Green, Royce O’Neal and Nic Richards? Lebron and Bronny get to play in the same state as Bryce and Lebron can have his last year in the NBA with his fam. 👀 #NBAsky #PhoenixSuns #LALakers

Glad Dame gets to go back to Portland where he never wanted to leave.
