Bluesky post should be called blurts
No doubt the internet has been enshittified, but I love that I can still google something dumb like “Freddy freemen teeth” [sic] and get detailed blog speculation on porcelain veneers. #mlb
God a perfect bunt is almost more impressive than a homer
Ohtani why not take a pitch?
Kind of hilarious how Fox cuts from the most exquisite baseball ever aired to clips of the dumbest gameshows possible.
Big game for force outs at home

peak baseball is indistinguishable from the feeling of hitting your head against a cement wall
Instant classic World Series.

Essential research shows that particulate pollution—generated from motor fuels exhaust, tire wear, wildfires, factories, etc—is associated with dementia. More evidence that it is in the interest of public health to reduce pollution. (Gift link)

This is wrong. Baseball managers cannot be 33. They must be in their 50s (at the youngest), have dad bods and look silly in the baseball getup. They cannot be confused for a pitcher on IR.
The Washington Nationals are finalizing a deal to hire Blake Butera — a 33-year-old who worked as the senior director of player development for the Tampa Bay Rays — as their next manager, tasking him with guiding a young roster.
Nationals expected to hire Blake Butera, 33, as their next manager
The skipper, chosen by new president of baseball operations Paul Toboni, has much to address as his tenure with Washington begins.

The NBA is so cooked. Every bad game I think, “bad game or fixed prop bet?”
Really tough half for Naz. Not hitting shots, turning it over, not on the glass
The real power lies with the city manager
11 Ks out of 18 total outs is actually crazy. Trey Yesavage 🤯
This whole story is appalling. But I can't get this officer's tone out of my head:
Double amazing because I feel like Mookie takes all the hits on his side of second base too. But Edna can PLAY.
Sports betting?! The fix is in.

Interesting development in the Coach Prime saga:

What if the real risk isn’t Deion getting poached by a better program? What if he’s just another bad coach, with a contract no one wants to buy out, that CU has to fire?
#CUBuffs blasted 53-7 by Utah. Through 3 quarters, it was one of most lopsided games in school history. Not what CU had in mind when it gave Coach Prime contract extension. The minimum expectation was a bowl game. CU is 3-5 w games remaining vs Arizona, WVU, ASU, K-State.

When Jacobin and the Pod Save bros are aligned on defending nazi tattoos, we’ve got a problem and it’s not going to be solved by you coming into my mentions and telling me I’m not seeing what I’m definitely seeing—

which is white people left, right, and center coming together to defend Nazi tattoos
The thing about baseball is that it is full of stuff like this. Its long history makes it such a compelling watch.
the last time a World Series game was played at SkyDome in Toronto, it was in 1993 against the Phillies and their catcher was Darren Daulton. Later, his Phillies teammate, Gary Varsho, named his son after Daulton, and Daulton Varsho just homered for the Blue Jays at SkyDome in the World Series
It’s not that they are boring. But if I never saw Steph’s stupid mouth guard or nite nite pod again, I’d be happier.
