Ok I will talk about baseball here instead. I co-write The Windup with Ken Rosenthal on The Athletic. It’s a newsletter.

This has turned into an incredibly tense game! (Complimentary)

So is the foul pole and nobody says “x player grounded into a home run”

I do understand the rule, thank you, and I get why they had to classify it that way, it’s just very funny!!!

Someone asked for this, I can't find the request but I hope you see it. Sal Frelick asking the question on everyone's minds in the moment.

The MLB app just laid down and waved us off. “Call it whatever you want, I’m taking a smoke break”
Max Muncy “grounded” into a double play by hitting the ball 404 feet

(also, sorry, sorry, 8-6-2, not 8-6-3 — that was a typo, which is probably to be expected, given how hard I was laughing)

This is the best thing I have watched on TV in years, maybe decades

With apologies to Dodgers fans, I have not experienced this level of delight watching a baseball game in a WHILE.

A bases-loaded 8-6-3 double play, no runs scored??????????

WHAT??????

I am howling at the moon; this rules. This is Halloweenball. This is haunted chaos. Maybe my favorite play ever

I have not seen this many players on the field look this confused at the same time in years (and I play sandlot baseball)

It is always a gift — one that I never take for granted — that my job is to watch baseball.

But man, some days are better than others, and this entire postseason has made "starting my workday" something I look forward to every Sunday-through-Thursday night.

Mariners-Blue Jays, I'm all in, let's go

If you want proof that baseball is not scripted: Leo Rivas didn’t drive in Naylor for the walk-off there. The storyline was too perfect, and nature could not allow it to exist.

After weeks of internalizing and suffering, I tried to examine why exactly the Google Cloud with AI ads were upsetting me so much. I think it's a good one.

I usually steer clear of predictions but I feel pretty certain it will not, in fact, be “necessary”

Someone at Dallas weekly forgot to take down the ALDS listings. On the upside, the tickets are only $419

To be fair, I posted this when he had allowed just one solo home run.

(It feels a little like piling on now)
