Okay. What the heck was going on with that Nereus commercial? So many questions!!!!

All these Google Cloud “stats” commercials during the playoffs are a great way to convince casual baseball fans that analytics = coincidence. #mlb

if you think about it, winning via a direct connection to the divine father of all creation through His appointed emissary on Earth is a much more egregious cheating scandal than banging on trash cans
The first team in MLB history to make the postseason after even two consecutive 100-loss seasons (they had 3) just won a postseason series

These White Sox, what a story!

Can’t believe Vivek got Hank Hill to do the voice-over for his latest commercial.

Whenever I’m scrolling and I see the Gwinnett Stripers mentioned by @transactionbot.bsky.social, for .01 seconds my brain thinks it says “Scooter Gennet.”

Thanks MLB. I can’t watch Verlander pitch his last game just because they are playing the Pirates — a team 3+. Hours from my house that are blacked out. Nobody hates their fans more than MLB.

There are a lot of things to dislike about the Dodgers, but I think their “look at me, I got a hit” celebration on base is the most annoying and looks like something from a tee-ball game.

Can anyone check how much the betting line moved once it was confirmed Cruz would be there?
Ted Cruz interrupted during ESPN appearance by fired-up crowd chanting, "TED, YOU SUCK!"

I’d be enjoying the Elly show this week a lot more if I didn’t think it was an extended audition for the eventual free agent bargaining with these Dodgers.

Not many bands can pull off an eight-minute rocker at the Tiny Desk. Chicago's finest lean into its excellent guitar playing, poignant lyrics and a sturdy, Midwestern sensibility. n.pr/4gRQo6T

That makes up (sorta) for the run lost with Hector glancing off second base. #reds
