The lesson of this Robles plate appearance, as always, is that bunting is stupid

Fun fact: Bluesky is outperforming Twitter on conversions for my Kickstarter by 900%.

Despite it having the most followers of any platform for me, Twitter is converting at lower numbers than EVERY OTHER social media platform I'm using (Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky).

That was the first postseason series in history to end on a walkoff error.

What a crushing way for any team to end a season.

Bill Buckner might come to mind, but that was only Game 6.

Great game. Kind of a lousy ending, but that’s the best playoff game we’ve had so far

Can we all take a step back here

Nearly 50 year old David Ortiz is wearing a sombrero, pulls out two more sombreros from under the table, pulls out a bottle of tequila, takes a swig of the tequila on national television

What the hell is even happening?

To me, if you're firing Aaron Boone, you also finally have to fire the GM, because he's also calling some of the shots on a game-to-game basis. I never want to see people lose their jobs but it’s clear the #Yankees need some new voices to finally get over the hump.

Seven major league teams have managerial vacancies to fill, and there are some big-name candidates that could end up filling those roles. ⚾️

But there is one name that is an intriguing, under-the-radar option that teams should consider. Find out who. 👀
