Odd response but OK. I literally
a) don’t care
b) it was a statement as opposed to an emotion but … 🤷🏻‍♂️

I do and its awesome. #solidarity

This is a very weird read on this post but do you!

Basically, 2 players worth $344 million beat the #Brewers $121 million team.

A great example of what payroll disparity means. At some point, the $160 / $180 / $365 / $700 million player is gonna do the thing.

And if you have that many of them, eventually, one (or two) of them will beat you.

That insanity goes down officially as a grounded into double play, making it the only batted ball hit over 350 feet for a GIDP in the pitch tracking era (reg. + postseason).

Max Muncy grounded into a 404-foot double play.

give the catcher 99 awareness rating in the next edition of Baseball Madden for knowing to stretch for the catch instead of make the tag

iPacers.com - Derek Kramer @ipacers.bsky.social · 14h

Pacers four centers tonight:

3 points, 0 for 10 combined, 11 fouls, 1 assist, 3 turnovers, 10 rebounds, 4 steals in 43 minutes

All the points by the center least likely to still be on the team at the start of the year. Rough one.

F— them picks (?)

Mike Vorkunov @mikevorkunov.bsky.social · 18h

A 2023 1st round pick just got waived. The Nets let go of Dariq Whitehead. He played just 22 games over two seasons after going 22nd overall in the 2023 draft.

Nick Sirianni: A lot of confidence in Kevin Patullo, no change to offensive play calling

The Eagles got a little extra time off after playing on Thursday night and the disappointing result of that game has not led to any change in the way they are doing their offensive business.

I’m pretty sensible and can be made to understand most decisions in pro sports … but ANOTHER bullpen game for the #Brewers tonight?

Alex Antetokounmpo was a member of the Wisconsin Herd, the #Bucks G League affiliate, in 2022.

The Milwaukee Bucks are signing Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-way NBA deal, joining older brothers Giannis and Thanasis, Octagon's Alex Saratsis tells ESPN. This marks the first time in NBA history that three brothers are on active roster contracts with the same team.

If you really read Giannis’ comments, he is illustrating what I feel about this team: its got the lowest floor of any team since 2018 - but it’s ceiling *could* be higher than many are projecting. #NBASky

The Bucks beat the Bulls in Giannis Antetokounmpo's return — and the #Bucks star sent a firm standard postgame on how this team needs to play to win.

We also got a look at Doc Rivers’ rotation & maybe he gave a hint on who will win a roster spot 👀

Dalen Terry and Taurean Prince got tangled up after Terry was called for traveling, and got real close - and real heated. And then Zach Collins wanted to get real involved, too, before being restrained by Bobby Portis Jr.

A referee took a tumble as Bucks security grabbed Prince to separate him.

Doc Rivers is going to have his starters come back out of the timeout. They're all going to reach over 20 minutes of action with this stretch. #NBASky
