I despise the new ABS system in the MLB. You’re asking umpires to call a pitch going 95-100 w/spin/movement in a split second and then a batter or catcher can tappytap their helmet and let a computer determine ball or strike by a fraction on an inch. BS

You look at the United States today and of course you don't believe they put a man on the moon in 1969 But go watch the Apollo 11 documentary on Amazon What you'll see is an entirely different country full of people that basically no longer exist today A serious, focused, rational, and united people with a common goal They had a pack of tin foil and less computing power than a microwave oven... But they understood physics They knew how to build things And most of all, they had belief Why wouldn't they? They were from the country that invented flight itself If two bike mechanics from the midwest could accomplish something that even the great da Vinci only dreamed of... Why couldn't a team of the brightest minds in the most powerful country in the world come together to put a man on the moon? As time goes on, fewer people believe that the scientists and engineers of the 60's actually put a man on the moon But that says more about our own time than theirs Go tour the Mont Saint-Michel in France and you'll realize that progress isn't always linear They built that place 500+ years ago, but no one could imagine us building it today Yet no one denies it's there. It sits there as a high watermark in architectural history, reminding us what we are no longer capable of. The moon landing is a lot easier to deny. You can't see it with your own eyes. And what you do see with your own eyes makes it hard to believe it was possible.

🚨 KAI TRUMP WAS MILES AWAY AT MIAMI OPEN — AS TIGER WOODS CRASHED HIS SUV Kai Trump was at the Miami Open while her mother’s boyfriend, Tiger Woods, crashed his SUV near his home in Jupiter Island. The photos were posted around the same time the crash happened. While Kai was courtside at one of the biggest tennis events in the country… Woods was roughly 100 miles away flipping his SUV in the chaos. Police say he clipped the back of a utility truck towing a trailer while trying to pass it, causing the vehicle to roll. He made it out. But cops said he appeared to be under the influence of “some type of medication or drug.” • DUI charge • Property damage • Refused lawful test • 8 hours in jail Just days earlier, Kai, Vanessa, and Chloe Trump were all seen watching Woods at the TGL Finals in Palm Beach. Now one side of that circle is at the Miami Open… while the other is upside down in Jupiter Island. What are people noticing here that others aren’t?

@hochman “Ain’t it a beaut, Clark?”

Holy toasted ravioli! Down 5-4 in bottom 10th, infield in, JJ Wetherholt singles to left, driving in TWO to win the game for the #stlcards

@luxemiaa You don’t have to, but it would be a classy move to let your tip be in line with your elevated taste in food.

A woman on Instagram said: My husband and I go out to dinner and order lobster dishes at $50 each and the table next to us order burgers at $15 each. Why do we have to leave a bigger tip than the other table when we had the same waitress and got the same service?

@jaysonyork The generalized impugning of motives and methods can actually limit the work of the Holy Spirit. I’m not crazy about all the contemporary expressions but I won’t say that God isn’t speaking through them.

@MichaelTalJ How so

Unpopular pastoral opinion #5 Most of the music in the church today only serves emotionalism or a dopamine hit, and does nothing to feed your soul Get rid of the rock bands Get rid of the performances Get rid of singing at people Sing the songs of faith together as saints

The regime in Iran just executed 19 year old Iranian wrestler Saleh Mohammadi for participating in January protests. He never got a red carpet pin He never got CNN or NYT articles Leftists never showed any outrage But they did for his killers Khamenei & Larijani

@dgoold He has tremendous power when bat meets ball but his swing looks long and slow and rarely squares the barrel with the ball for line drives with lift. It often looks like maybe his head can’t stay locked in so that eyes can see the point of contact.

Given the playing time and coaching time invested in Jordan Walker, it should be clear by now how high the #Cardinals believe his upside is as a hitter and he needs to be with MLB staff in majors to unlock it. That's their stance. More here: stltoday.com/sports/profess…

CLASS ACT: Team USA star Bryce Harper went over to shake hands with the entire Team Venezuela and congratulate them on their victory after receiving his silver medal. 👏 Harper is the definition of the class act. This is great sportsmanship.

I wish Americans loved their country as much as other nations loved theirs. These Venezuelan guys have endured a real dictatorship for years that plundered the wealth of their homeland, but they are all proud to wear their national colors! @WBCBaseball

@nut_history 10

I’m sure the outcome of tonight’s game won’t really change your opinion, so I might as well ask now. Out of 10, how would you rank your enjoyment of the World Baseball Classic? Ten being the highest score. I give it a ten. My only complaint is the pitch count limit. But I get why it’s a rule.

#BryceHarper How can anyone not love baseball especially when cheering for one’s country in an atmosphere like this?? @WBCBaseball #USA #Venezuela

With all the people of Venezuela have been through in recent years, I am genuinely happy to see their team make the finals. I’ll be pulling for the USA for sure but this final will be good for the game of baseball!

Watching the @WBCBaseball semifinal with Italy and Venezuela after last night’s USA vs. Dominican Republic game is awesome. The level of intensity is, too. The passion of Latin American countries is special. If @MLB screws around with the sport with a shutdown, everyone loses!!

@JebraFaushay Seems like the people at the show enjoyed the fact that he’s still rocking.

It’s ok to retire. You don’t have to perform anymore. Here is Rod Stewart strutting around with his tight little flare jeans and teased hair.
