Kudos to Hoffman for still getting Ohtani and Smith out. Imagine blowing a lead in the 9th inning of a World Series Game 7

It looks like the fielders have gotten themselves good warm ups now and the batters need to take another round of bp

Having been the ace of the talented Mariners starting rotation all season, Bryan Woo must be so devastated that he couldn't just have gone 6+ innings and shut this game down because of an injury.

Pogačar going for a Stage 21 win, with a breakaway, is so cool.

Pro cyclists do lots of crazy things, and sprinting downhill on a mountain is definitely one of them. When you're pedaling on the way down, something's wrong.

From the Sky Sports Golf commentary team:

"I think it's one of his great strengths that he can separate what he does on the golf course and separate that from his family, his beliefs, the things he enjoys in life. Heartwarming picture. Golf is what he does, it's not who he is."

That celebration by Thymen Arensman, composed of four distinct hand gestures, was beautiful.

One of the comments captured the moment very well, and it's so wholesome.

"When one lesser introvert turns into an extrovert to get hold of the situation."

Carlos Alcaraz's parents smiling at him for his brilliant effort, despite him being down 0-40 and facing triple championship points, was so touching.

The Pacers are supposed to run on a controlled chaos, but no one seems to be able to "slow the game down" other than SGA. If you're SGA, there is no way you're letting the Pacers win this.

This is a such a good article which explains the phenomenon and suggests the craze may reflect baseball's superstitious tendencies more than data-driven optimization. I wish The Atlantic had a sports section.

A great comment from Rose:

"If you're willing to lift the big championships, you've got to put yourself on the line. You've got to risk feeling this way to kind of get the reverse."

It's poetic that that's what McIlroy did.
