According to MLB dot com, Trey Yesavage was a left-handed pitcher at the time of the draft. Just wait till they see the splitter from the left side! 😂

The world is awful right now but MLB’s boxscore depiction of today’s Tigers-O’s game made me chuckle. Like it was too vile even to let us know the details.

This is fun. The @oaklandballers.bsky.social will take on the San Jose Giants in a revival of the Battle of the Bay on April 2 at the Giants' Excite Ballpark. The graphic the Ballers sent out with the press release is 🔥

A different Raúl Alcantara, of course, but seeing that name and Franklin Barreto in the same minor league transaction is definitely some time-is-a-flat-circle stuff for me and maybe like 10 other people.

I just noticed that Gameday is using an exclamation point graphic next to errors in their play by play summary. I don’t know if that’s new but it’s hysterical. Cue Yakety Sax.

Went to the Warriors game last night, and had a great time. They handed out these backpacks, which were comically small. As someone who loves free things, I’m now obsessed with trying to figure out what I can carry in my tiny pack. (Regular sized pack for scale.)

The Tower Bridge is pretty in real life but this looks a little, I don't know, "masculine energy"-ish as an arm patch. I'm not sure from a distance anyone will get what this is supposed to be.
