Pints up to the lads from #Tipperary! All-Ireland Hurling Champions for the first time since 2019. Tipp down 6 at the half and then a phenomenal 2nd Half comeback to win by 15. Amazing! #HonTipp

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

Your reminder that the awful, discriminatory voting laws are still in effect in #Georgia. #MLB cared enough about them to move the #allstargame  away from GA in 2021. But now, it doesn’t seem to matter at all as long as #MLB can cash in. Shameful behavior from MLB.

It’s been a rough day, so we’re taking in a game tonight between the @slspacecowboys.bsky.social & @aviatorslv.bsky.social. Nice night for a game. We missed the bobblehead tho. 👎 We are also listening to our beloved #JaxShrimp as they go for the 1st half title. C’mon fellas let’s go!

The good folks @jaxtoday.org decided to give our guy @scottkornberg.bsky.social a bit of well deserved love today for his call-up from the @JaxShrimp to the @marlins.com later this week. This is huge news & deserves to be shared everywhere. You can read about it here: jaxtoday.org/2025/06/02/b...

The Catch on the Road! We spent a very enjoyable evening last night at Equity Bank Park in Wichita, KS to watch the @WindSurgeICT take on the @Sgf_Cardinals. Great ballpark and a very entertaining game as well. The Cards won 5-2. #MiLB #Twins #STLCards

The Catch on the Road! Our first new ballpark of 2025: Southwest University Park on a very hot & sunny day in #ElPaso, TX. Today’s game saw the @epchihuahuas.bsky.social v. the @aviatorslv.bsky.social. Great ballpark, fun crowd, & a good game too. Vegas won 13-6. @milb.com @padres.com @athletics.com

Dear President @ZelenskyyUa - Thank you for being a true leader and holding strong in the face of Putin’s negotiating team. Their utter lack of respect is a stain on us all. Please feel free to tell Trump & Vance to fuck all the way off before departing Washington. #SlavaUkraini

Very sad news. Bob Uecker was a great broadcaster and an even better person. We are lucky to have had him in our lives for so many years. Milwaukee Brewers baseball won’t be the same without him. #Ueck #Brewers
It’s the day we all hoped would never come. Bob Uecker, the voice of the Brewers for the last 54 years and “Mr. Baseball” to fans around the world, passed away overnight, according to his family and the team. He was 90.

Summers in Wisconsin will never be the same.

Absolutely mystified by this one. Trade a 30/100 guy for…essentially a competitive balance pick?! Tearing down an ALCS team for peanuts is terrible. But completely on-brand for the Dolans.

Incredibly sad to learn of the passing of Rickey Henderson. The greatest lead-off hitter and base-stealer of all time. He was so much fun to watch. There will never be another like him, on or off the field. Farewell Rickey! 💚💛

Non-paywalled post. Rest in peace Rickey Henderson. The greatest leadoff man of all time.

We watched a LOT of baseball in 2024! This doesn’t even count all of the #JaxShrimp games, other #MiLB games, #MLB games on actual tv, or games attended in person. Honestly though, there are few things I’d rather be doing than watching #baseball. Onwards to 2025! #2024MLBTVRECAP
