Oh, great, now they pull the tarp on the field.

There must be cameras that are inoperable since there’s only one camera following the ball after it’s hit.

More cardboard cutouts, please!

I'll say he comes back after the break for a little extra caution.

Yes, I acknowledge that, although there are some folks who insist Harris Hinch love the chaos, and utility above stability.

I have been assured repeatedly that Harris Hinch prefers pitching chaos, as well as a roster of nothing but utility players, because they think it highlights their contrarian genius or something

Two questions: Who is **** is Magoo? What is with the sad-looking emoji and what's coming out of his mouth? Is that a flex of some kind?

Why does this guy insist on coming across as the president of preschool?

The tricky balance here will be successfully merchandising to the voting public this as an effective response to dirty dark money in politics without having the effect of unilaterally disarming themselves in the money system as currently constructed.

Baseball is designed to break your heart.

We have heard this here and there in bits and pieces, but to hear it all at one time is pretty remarkable. https://x.com/mtgreenee/status/2050989308815818823/video/1?s=61

Maybe the pilot is in the same place the first Trump assassin is—what’s his name again?

Kevin has good field vision, too, because he went when he saw the shortstop abandon second and also saw the second baseman was nowhere near the base.

They used to use what were called red-dot balls, which were flight restricted balls that you could tell had a bit of give when you held it. Nowadays, softballs are as hard as hard balls. Plus, I know some guys are using BSER bats even tough they’ve been outlawed for over a decade, but most umpires are as clueless about that as they are about the throw-out-of-bounds rule. I don’t like it, but what am I gonna do? Quit? As if.

I play left field at Brands Park where there is a tennis court maybe about 275 feet away from the plate. In the mid 2000s, I never once saw a ball get hit into the courts. Nowadays, there’s at least one a game. It’s beyond ridiculous. But CSSC encourages it because it keeps teams signing up and paying their $1,400 team fee to keep playing. What can you say? It’s a business.

For about six seconds.

I will tell you this about playing softball now: the guys are a lot bigger, the girls are a lot better, and the ball is a lot livelier. At least here in Big Shoulders, it is. Personally, I don’t think a softball should be allowed to travel 350 feet in the air. But everyone digs the long ball now, and sport and social clubs need to stay in business, so … 🤷🏻

So, where does the United States rank on the list of Reporters Without Borders' World Press Freedom Index among 180 countries measured? We're almost in the top third. So are Botswana, Panama, and Mauritania.

The media need access to the regime, so they'll keep the story contained to the nether regions of the media ecosphere.

That's what dump trucks filled with money does to people.

Trump's campaign of the destruction of America both here and abroad continues apace. Many benefactors very happy.

Besides Zack Short, another old friend is back for tonight's game—an old friend named Pitching Chaos.

Also, Dodgers and Ohtani.
