Everyone in these pictures thought they won

this family photo was taken the first year of Arte Moreno’s ownership. i am now a married homeowner. it’s been a long time coming.

Pete Blows Farts-Strong. Is this anything

baseball is cool bc there's a guy named Ezequiel Tovar, a guy named Jarren Duran, and a whole other guy named Ezequiel Duran

hey remember beast wars in the 90s when transformers were animals. did you know that it sparked a vicious civil war in the transformers fandom because people were mad that the transformers were monkeys instead of trucks

I have made referring to Reacher as "the big fella" in a Bill Raftery voice a part of my process, and the early results are promising. Which is to say that I don't think my wife loves it.

i can't believe forbes, that hallowed news outlet, was involved in something shady like this

I figured out what’s wrong with Paul Skenes - he’s a dang Minion now

Reid Detmers' comments here say a lot. this is setting up your players for a competitive disadvantage.

the Angels, as an org, are in a funny spot where even when they actually do the correct thing (hire new president, fire GM, order complete audit of org, fire coaches from old regime), they're still gonna eat shit for it. it's their own doing, but still funny.

Something I've noticed among my friends as I've gotten older is how many of them spin out when the issue isn't politics, it's that they hate their boss, or their job, or they're going through a hard time as a parent, and turn that into their politics. I don't really know what to do about that.

Angels tearing this stupid org full of losers down to the studs

getting dogpiled anywhere sucks but if it happens on bluesky like. who cares. just push them out of the way. it's like getting bullied at the library

tired: the 4th out rule is stupid wired: the 4th out rule is hilarious inspired: Sportsnet using Angine de Poitrine as bumper music??

track & field athlete canon event

Robert Morris fans are buying up Akron season tickets in hopes of winning the raffle and sabotaging the opening drive. And Pat McAfee might be getting involved soon. Talked to Robert Morris' AD and the Akron folks with Devon Henderson for this story. www.nytimes.com/athletic/749...

Something that would happen in a 90s baseball movie for kids

this is one of the coolest catches i've ever seen, not even considering the context

so long Jorge Soler, thanks for getting punched in the head with a baseball for this club

i’ve started calling out fake insiders on Angels Twitter for tricking people and lmao

FIRE ME UP

i still think the likelihood of Trout ever leaving is very low, but it probably increases *slightly* this offseason. i’m sure he’ll sit down with Mozeliak/the new GM and talk realistically about the competitive window.

I guess my thing with the Dodgers is that I *like* villains and don't think we should break the last serious pro sports union because one team that has real structural advantages is also smarter and trying harder than their peers. I don't like that Bob Nutting is terrible at this! That's my prob!

the thing that pisses me off the most about all this, sincerely, is that it’s ushered in a huge wave of anti-labor sentiment among normies

I feel like the issue with the Dodgers getting Skubal has less to do with a need for a salary cap or anything else and more to do with it being boring. Everyone knew that’s where he’d end up. Sports are more fun when there are surprises. This is just uninspired script writing.

wait guys i figured it out: the Brewers were saving all their good prospects for Reid Detmers

Is the salary cap also going to make the Dodgers have a bad farm system?

welp, it’s ya boy’s first fire evacuation as a homeowner. (everyone’s fine, we’re staying with family a couple hours away.)
