For those of us old enough to remember watching Robin bust out on the motorcycle during the County Stadium celebration, I hope @Brewers recreate something similar next week. Until then, let’s enjoy some AI.

This is such an impressive, legitimately rare swing.
Just the 3rd left-on-left opposite field HR on an inner third fastball in all of MLB this season.
The other two were Ohtani.
As a reminder to those who celebrate, the morning after a Packers beat down of the Bears, start your morning with some soothing (unhinged rage) talk on Chicago sports radio @670thescore. Live call-ins are the secret sauce.

Watch all 41 seconds of this.
Christian Yelich describes how much joy it brought him to watch all of the reaction videos of Brewers fans watching Jackson Chourio’s walk-off in Game 2👇
“It was really cool to see…the authentic joy in those moments.”

The Brewers champagne bottles have the names of Wisconsin towns on them just like the flag they travel with on the road. 💙💛

We will never stop talking about Jackson Chourio’s walk-off hit against Mason Miller in Game 2, but Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick and Gary Sanchez saw a combined 17 pitches and swung at zero.
Zero!

Sal Frelick 2017-18 Massachusetts Gatorade Football Player of the Year highlight tape:
"[The] Massachusetts Gatorade football player of the year broke the tackle."
Former quarterback Sal Frelick shed Christian Yelich's tackle attempt on their way to celebrate with Jackson Chourio.
Both #Brewers on their mindset in the 9th inning:

This is from staff that represents a very narrow view. Not only do I doubt this snark came from the Guv, but I have spoken to numerous D officials that have heard from public districts and charter schools who could also benefit from this program. Staff troll-kids deserve better.
Told ya.
And this is why I said ‘no’ this boondoggle months ago. Public funds should go to public schools. Simple as that.

Incurious Education Journalism Alert: This @propublica piece blows the whistle on "unqualified" people starting private schools in several states. But there's no data on the poor performance of *qualified* people in those states public schools, which is driving the demand.
New: We’re reporters, not teachers. We have no business running a private school. But to show you just how easy it is to start one, we decided to test the process ourselves. propub.li/4hUReS5

Grateful to @educationgadfly for publishing my piece on the lessons we should learn from Nikole Hannah Jones, to avoid making her mistakes--including ones she *still* doesn't see.
