PCA is called out after coming off 2nd base on ball four to the hitter. Craig Counsell was ejected following the review.

There is strong evidence that MLB either changed the baseballs or introduced a new batch of baseballs (while still cycling out the old) in late May / early June Almost every contact-quality-controlled Statcast metric has seen an outlier uptick in recent weeks Barrel distance increased by +10.2 ft from April 2026 to present, the biggest in-season April to June jump of the Statcast era (avg is +4.6 ft as weather improves) The additional ~6 ft this June aligns with the ~0.016 point drop in the drag data Compiling additional findings 💉⚾️🚨

The baseball appears to be flying farther and producing more homers than "expected" recently. This is AFTER accounting for weather and stadium effects The +4% vs Expected over the past couple weeks is higher than any point since the 2019 live ball

Quickest way to find out if some is a liar is to ask them if they beat MLB sides and totals. If they say yes you know they are a liar

Windhorst on if Jaylen Brown would want to be in Milwaukee should he be traded: "Jaylen Brown is accepting this and realizing this is a chance to turn the page in his career, and that he may be getting his own team, which is something that he has thought about for some time."

Afternoon wave was supposed to get US Open boned and ended up getting CJ Cup conditions. Another example of how hard it is to predict the weather.

I strongly dislike U.S. Open setups that are this punishing. Shinnecock is just too hard. Challenging is great and I am not asking for guys to tear it up, but when barely missing a shot gets penalized this harshly it stops being compelling and starts being a slog to watch.

Lewis George says her team is looking at "how we can be more efficient & effective in spending" and what policy changes can be made. "The last time we lost our autonomy was because our finances were not what they need to be," she said. She wants to maintain D.C.'s bond rating.

If they truly want “shotmaking” to be more important, then going to 10 clubs will make that happen instantly. I think the usga want less bomb and gouge, yet the rollback will only make driver and distance even MORE important

LeBron James says he couldn't date a stay at home woman “I think personally me today, if I was not in a relationship, I could not have a stay at home woman” “For me, who I am at 40 and what I got going on, just coming home and seeing somebody sitting on the couch every day just chilling, that wouldn't float for me”

Still absolutely no word or announcement on if/when the game will resume. Grounds crew still working and it appears all players have retreated to the clubhouse. Rain stopped (?)
