I will be running my #Rockies Home Runs for LGBTQ+ Advocacy drive on Bluesky this year. The LGBTQ+ community needs support now more than ever. For every home run the #Rockies hit during the regular season, I will be donating $1 to One Colorado, with donations as a lump sum at the end of the month.

My punch is the strongest. Wanna try it?

How wild is it that Jake Bird not only didn’t make the Yankees playoff roster… he didn’t even finish the season on the big league team?

By the way, Ryan McMahon had homered against a lefty just once since mid-April: June 10th against the Giants' Kyle Harrison. What a time for his first in pinstripes!

Ryan McMahon's first career playoff home run ties it up at Yankee Stadium in the third inning.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Who could say no to this face when he wants treats?

Big night from WEDGIE ❌

1/7 on the power play was pretty ugly, but everything else looked very solid for Opening Night.

Evan Lang @evanlang27.bsky.social · 1d

The Avalanche leave Los Angeles with a win over the Kings on Opening Night!

Evan Lang @evanlang27.bsky.social · 1d

Wedgewood should still be pitching a shutout here if the Kings hadn't been gifted a power play which turned into a five-on-three.

He's been damn good in net tonight.

Evan Lang @evanlang27.bsky.social · 1d

Fifth time's the charm! Mr. Marty Nachos finally hits paydirt with a power play goal, and his second goal of the game!

Two solid penalty kills for the Avalanche. Let's get this finished up clean.

Evan Lang @evanlang27.bsky.social · 1d

Artturi Lehkonen joins the party with his first goal of the season, assisted by Makar and MacKinnon. Power play may be 0/2 but the Avs are capitalizing on even strength opportunities.

Nathan MacKinnon passes Joe Sakic for most points in a Colorado Avalanche sweater. 1016 points in 871 games since moving from Quebec City.

He achieves it on an assist to Martin Nečas for the first goal of the season.

Who had the brilliant idea of making the Avalanche season opener have a damn near 9:00 PM MDT puck drop?

The #ArizonaFallLeague defending champion Salt River Rafters win their first contest of 2025 with a 7-3 victory over the Glendale Desert Dogs!

Evan Lang @evanlang27.bsky.social · 1d

Jared Thomas stood out for the Salt River Rafters this afternoon. The top #Rockies prospect went 3-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI triple.

Charlie Condon was 1-for-5 but had two RBIs. Braylen Wimmer went 0-for-4 with two Ks.

Cade Denton and Welinton Herrera both had solid outings on the mound.

I love having the Arizona Fall League on MLB.tv and all... But uh. It's a bit difficult to see sometimes.

Evan Lang @evanlang27.bsky.social · 1d

It's time for Beef in Arizona. #Rockies pitching prospect Welinton Herrera is making his Fall League debut in the top of the eighth inning.
