Rule 1: Don’t tweet. Rule 2: If you do tweet, don’t tweet again. Rule 3: Never tweet through it.

I saw a comment on an article today that said: "The Olympics need MLB players. MLB players don't need the Olympics in any way shape or form," and my brain completely short-circuited.

NEW: A year before Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore was fired for an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, the school’s athletic director told him not to travel with her, according to a law firm investigation. wsj.com/sports/footbal…

As the NBA waits on the results of the investigation into the Clippers, Kawhi Leonard and Aspiration, the league's investigation expanded in scope. A look at where things stand, if Aspiration tried to build a marketing campaign for Kawhi, and more: nytimes.com/athletic/74344…

Wrote about Jordan Walker a couple weeks ago. Now he's the Home Run Derby champion. His ascendance this season has been an incredible story. wsj.com/sports/basebal…

The Wall Street Journal is hiring a sports reporter wsj.jobs/new-york-ny/sp…

Big deal. The WSJ softball team usually shows 15 minutes AFTER the game is supposed to start and we manage to do OK...

Shohei Ohtani will not make his scheduled start on the mound this evening against the D-backs due to continued irritation in his left knee. He will serve as the designated hitter the rest of the weekend, but following the series against the D-backs he will have some interventions on his knee to put him in the best position for the second half of the season. Unfortunately, due to these events, he will not be able to travel to Philadelphia and participate in the 2026 All-Star Game.

Fantastic job and you also get to work with the awesome @Bachscore

If you've ever dreamed about working with me at @WSJSports, I have good news for you: We are looking for a reporter to join our amazing team. It's an amazing opportunity to cover big-time sports for the best sports section in the world. 🔗 wsj.jobs/new-york-ny/sp…

Love a story about a prospect who goes from bust to boom. That's Jordan Walker. He was one of baseball's worst hitters for two years. He went to @DrivelineBB and @CresseySP this winter to find out why. Now, he's on the verge of becoming an All-Star. wsj.com/sports/basebal…

@TapToChallenge Just wrote you!!!

@jareddiamond Hey Jared, absolutely. Shoot me a DM

I made a database and website that tracks MLB ABS Challenges and associates run & win values to each play. Data is also aggregated at the game, player, team, and umpire level. Check it out at taptochallenge.com #MLB #ABS #WorldBaseballClassic #WBC #wbcsemifinal #roboumps

According to a federal indictment, Malik Beasley was in debt to a former teammate when he agreed to help gamblers by manipulating his own performance. on.wsj.com/4wbOEvi

Acclaimed sports reporter and author @jareddiamond of the @wsj chronicles @Cardinals “Tarps Off” craze on front page. on.wsj.com/4w1H5XX

It started on a whim in St. Louis. Now the "Tarps Off" movement is taking over ballparks from St. Petersburg to Seattle. on.wsj.com/4w1H5XX

Don and Preston Mattingly are the first father-son duo to serve as manager and general manager in MLB history. The family reunion is working better than the Phillies could have imagined. on.wsj.com/4eAy7Ke

@Skipper_Hoss This is 100% correct. I say it all the time. Disney significantly underestimates the value of these diversions. Guests might not be able to articulate the reason, but they are coming home thinking they just didn't have as good of a time as they did in the past. This is why.

Gonna just put this out here but I think the death of these small time wasters within all the theme parks is what spawned such anger within the Theme Park Community. We used to be surrounded in fun, now we are directed to have specific fun. If we pay to skip a line...(1/3)
