You know, he looks more like a Kirby than a George.

I hate hate hate that ending in the Phillies-Dodgers series. I didn’t care who won the series but a great game like that ending that way is like losing a Super Bowl because of a missed extra point.

That's the real "becoming a man" moment of the Bar Mitzvah they don't tell you about.

I honestly didn’t know a team could win the first two games of a Division Series, lose the third and *not* fold like a cheap napkin the rest of the series. Amazing

Even before online gambling, it had a pretty good head start on that.

I just said "gross" out loud in a room by myself. College kids betting on anything is bad just given how college kids spend their money but this would open up a whole new level of issues. You think Division I athletes don't have friends/family playing pro sports?

The Athletic @theathletic.com · 2d

College athletes may be allowed to bet on pro sports soon 👀

The NCAA Division I Administrative Committee approved the recommendation Wednesday, but the new rules will only go into effect if Division II and Division III also approve.

Max Muncy (A's edition) was a late add to the Mesa roster for the AFL. He homered, single and walked in four at-bats in the Mesa debut.

Yes we are crazy tough for birthing babies and we also never want to hear anyone describe how it went. Please and thanks.

“If I can get seconds, thirds and fourths on that raw milk now? Ooh boy!”

Bryce Harper on the birth of his fourth child, a boy, last week: "I've got an incredible wife, man. She pushed that thing out in three pushes and 30 seconds. She's an absolute monster doing it. Women, man, what a breed.
I'm serious, it's an incredible thing."

Glad the Yankees left Rodón in there to eat some innings. Gotta save that bullpen for tomorrow 🧐

Woof that’s some bad defense

CJ Fogler @cjzero.bsky.social · 3d

That could have gone better for the Yankees

It's becoming a widely held expectation the job is Hundley's if he is ready to accept it.

Would be funny if they still listed Sanders as QB3 after this.

Andrew Vaughn's home run tonight was the 49th in Brewers playoff history. It was the first to score more than two runs. (HT to @stathead.com)

That dude just ran 99 yards in the muggy Florida heat and his teammates don’t stop hugging him. I’d punch them in the face lol.

Phillies infielder Aidan Miller has also been removed from the Surprise roster, along with Carson DeMartini.

Bryan Rincon and Dylan Campbell are the Phils replacements.

Thank you! He was a fun interview. I imagine the Yankees are sad he didn’t stick with hitting 😂

When I chatted with Trey Yesavage at the 2024 combine, he talked about growing up a Phillies fan. Would be fun if he got to match up against them in the WS: www.nytimes.com/athletic/560...
