LeAnn Rimes walked so Taylor Swift could run.

Hell, I've got the PS5 with a disc drive, and I think the only physical game I have is the Japanese baseball game because I was too lazy to do the work to get a Japanese PSN account and buy it through there.

T.J. Lauerman aka ThatSportsGamer @thatsportsgamer.com · 10h

My guess is that because they priced the S and X so far away from each other, the VAST majority went with the digital-only S and Game Pass.

$200 more for a disc drive and a spec bump was WAY too much for a console.

I literally have a key my @elgato.com Stream Deck that takes me directly to the @braves.com @rosterresource.fangraphs.com page because I go to it so much.

Is there a place to see Munetaka Murakami's Japan stats broken down my slpitch speed?

Curious to see what he doing with the top velocities.

T.J. Lauerman aka ThatSportsGamer @thatsportsgamer.com · 2d

Get him, have him be the DH, but also give you some time at 3B or 1B so Riley and Olson can get a breather. Maybe even get Riley to play a handful of games in LF just to mix it up.

So winner gets Connor... or the loser?

When's he fighting Tyson?

Should just go with an Opener to slow him down.

When I first saw the name trending I assumed something happened to the guy from Storage Wars.

I'm live, continuing our PR Voluntarios franchise, and we're kicking off the 2027 postseason in OOTP 26 while watching tonight's Cubs and Brewers game.

Come hang out at Twitch.tv/ThatSportsGamer.

Still working through Designated Survivor: 60 Days. I'm 5 episodes in, and I don't remember Kiefer Sutherland's not talking as much as President Park in 60 Days.

Also, pretty sure President Park is rocking a TAG Heuer Monaco, so he's a cool dude in my book.

I was there for G4 of the '23 NLDS. Even though the Braves loss made me sad, the intensity of the crowd, and the cheesesteak I had, was amazing.

T.J. Lauerman aka ThatSportsGamer @thatsportsgamer.com · 8d

Just need them to do that for the entire season. I have ESPN, SNY, YES (Gotham), FOX, etc. Just let me see the regular season games in the MLBtv app.

SNY does it now, even though I have to reconnect it damn near weekly.

Mason Miller was not an out of nowhere prospect.

T.J. Lauerman aka ThatSportsGamer @thatsportsgamer.com · 12d

Mason Miller's heater is just stoopy dumb.

Math - Angles and probability.
Language - Why are white players "scrappy"?
History - How did the Padres get here?
Science - Wood hardness.

T.J. Lauerman aka ThatSportsGamer @thatsportsgamer.com · 12d

That's a failure of local teachers not figuring out how to incorporate the game into their lesson plan.

I'm live on Twitch.tv/ThatSportsGamer playing @MLBTheShow trying to get the Stubs I need to finish the entire player card collection. Only 6 cards remaining.
