Started a fresh OOTP game. Pitched a no-hitter on Opening Day. Then lost a second no-hitter with two outs in the ninth in Game 2. Unreal.

Companies should be banned from including a doorbell noise in commercials. The dogs fall for it every time.

Clayton Kershaw finished his career with back-to-back World Series championships. He only pitched to one batter between the two series.

Is it too late to save (future Angels manager, probably, if Moreno is still around) Mike Trout from Angels purgatory?

Once upon a time, both @cyrthogg.bsky.social and @keeganmatheson.bsky.social were ICs writing MLB content at a network I helped manage. Both were too ambitious to learn much from me.

Now, the teams they cover full-time might meet in the World Series -- a fact only fun for me and like three others.

Random Thursday thought, but has any fictional TV/film character died and come back to life as many times as Kenny McCormick?

Celebrities, former players, and pro athletes are often seen in the stands at MLB games, but I wonder if any have ever been caught on camera catching a home run or foul ball?

@adarowski.bsky.social You have/had a list somewhere of all the guys with 4K hits, yes?

Why hasn't someone signed Rich Hill???

Self-promotion has never been my strong suit but I wanted to share another mention that I've been writing again. Quite a lot more than I expected so far. Oh and the newsletter is free.

MLB trade deadline day is total chaos in the best way possible.

CC Sabathia absolutely crushed that speech. Well done, sir.

Yardbarker. And I'm looking to add even more writers to our team!
Please QT this with a sports outlet/blog/podcast/whatever that platforms women.

That way, we can all go support those places.

All respect intended for Hoynes and Miller here, but how does this NOT go to Verducci?
Congratulations to the 3 nominees for the BBWAA Career Excellence Award:

Tom Verducci
Paul Hoynes
And the late, great Scott Miller

All so deserving of being honored in the writers' wing of the Hall of Fame

Poor Jazz. Everyone else hits 15+ and he only gets 3.

Is that Ryan Howard doing interviews after these guys hit? He looks like he's in better shape than during his playing days. Must be all that Subway.

At least you weren't shut out, Jazz.

Uhh, @mlb.com, who thought a racist bonehead and his unknown sidekick was a good idea to host the HRD???

The third game of Manny Ramirez's career.
"3B Jim Thome" is always a hoot to think about in retrospect (but this lineup that Abbott no-hit in '93 was *loaded*)

Saw the @thesavbananas.bsky.social today at Fenway. And some fun guests:

Doug Flutie threw out the first (three) pitch(es).
Bill “Spaceman” Lee struck out a batter. 👀!!!
Johnny Damon lined out.
Jackie Bradley Jr. was hit by a pitch and lined out.

Method Man was being chased through the Providence Place Mall by some fans so he ducked into the store I was running to hide for a few minutes until they passed by. Nice guy.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie
