They’re cooking over on /r/baseball right now
Can a Dodgers hitter just charge the mound to start a brawl and end the game for them? A Dodgers batter charges the mound after the Blue Jays have used all their pinch hitters and pitchers. If they get enough people ejected by starting a brawl the game is over and the Dodgers win.

It’s such a good play that she came up with after playing flag football and refined it with Sue Bird, who told me it works because “basketball defenses can’t guard you and hit you the way safeties in football can, so at some point they’ll be on their heels. “

Love this story from @ramonaespn.bsky.social about an in-bounds play drawn up by Pacers assistant coach Jenny Boucek, a rising star in the NBA who also happens to be a single mom.

www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...
The concept is simple. With the in-bounder across half court, the four others line up behind the half-court line in what looks like a four-receiver set. Then each player runs their route, going in various curls and post patterns toward the basket. Then the in-bounder quickly finds the open man, knowing the defense will be on its heels somewhere. That's exactly what happened when the Pacers ran Boucek's play against the Bucks. Andrew Nembhard played the role of in-bounder/quarterback in the four-wide set. Haliburton, lined up on his far side, curled behind his three teammates and ran toward the near corner, where he took the pass and drained an off-balance 3 while drawing a foul.

Since joining the Seattle Storm, Erica Wheeler's fit has been seamless. @munson-bella.bsky.social reports on why it's been such a smooth transition for the veteran point guard: www.thenexthoops.com/wnba/seattle...

A merry NWSL Circle of Parity day to all who celebrate. I'd like to thank Orland for not waiting til the back quarter of the season to drop a game this year. Love this silly chaos league.

BAY -> LOU -> HOU -> SEA -> NC -> KC -> POR -> NJY -> LA -> WAS -> ORL -> SD -> UTA -> CHI -> BAY

Per USC, JuJu Watkins sustained a season-ending injury Monday night in the NCAA tournament.

She will undergo surgery and then begin rehabilitation.
