I think this is my wakeup call to stop caring so much about baseball. I can not place my mental health in the hands of baseball teams' success. I want to be able to respect a great run when I see one.

Tampa Bay suffers through four more outs on their home field in name only. Their World Series appearance nothing more than a requirement the winner must have an opponent.

Truly unfathomable MLB lets their broadcasting partner air this Sydney Sweeney-Novig ad 10 times a game on the biggest baseball stage of the year.

Let me tell you kids on X about when William Contreras was a Brave (we used to call it Twitter then) and was knocked for being a 23 yo DH. That was way before he had a 100% success rate on 500 ABS challenges and blocked as many 90 mph breaking balls.

Sometimes your favorite team’s rival is so astronomically good that your brain just tells you to smile.

I skipped all my schoolwork to watch five and a half episodes of the Americans.
Jake Bauers says he turned down the air conditioning in his hotel room to 60 degrees and got 13 hours of sleep last night. Can anyone top that?

As defined by @MLBStats, a “Barrel” starts at 98 mph and 26–30° and widens from there — the same way in every direction. Where the .500 / 1.500 standard actually starts, 2026: Pulled: 95 mph Oppo: 100 mph Center: 103 mph A barrel isn’t a barrel to all fields.
