Our guy @PaulHembo is REALLY high on what the Mariners have built, and their outlook heading into 2026 “If you were to ask me which AL team will win the most games the rest of the 2020s, my answer would be the Mariners”

Venezuela is a FANTASTIC baseball team #PMSLive

.326/.444/.744 (1.188 OPS)   Bryce Harper’s career slash line with a chance to clinch a series (or tournament).   5 HR (in 12 games), the last 3 of which have come in the 8th inning.

Which freshman class scored the most points in a title-winning NCAA Tournament? 🏀 @PaulHembo challenges @SethOnHoops ⬇️

"Sean Payton has been looking for more playmakers on offense in Denver.. This is a big time trade to add a big time player in Jaylen Waddle" ~ @AdamSchefter #PMSLive

@VinceGoodwill @chibbs_1 🤝

Hembo learned the hard way today. Don’t doubt us lefties! @chibbs_1

Who is the only freshman with 3 25-PT games in the (Men’s) NCAA Tournament? @PaulHembo vs. @VinceGoodwill 🍿

3.6 inches from edge of strike zone
1.25 feet off ground (front of plate)   There was not a single strikeout looking in MLB last season with both characteristics that extreme.

@NosebleedHQ He’s diabolical 🤷‍♂️

Did you get this sneaky @PaulHembo? 👀

@TyJohnsonNews You know ball 🧠

After listening to @PaulHembo today, I think Harper-Turner-Schwarber should be the top of the Phillies lineup this season.

Bryce Harper chase rate 
2021: 68th percentile (won MVP)
2022–25: 12th | 21st | 19th | 11th   A 100-walk season should be his aim. And it should come at the top of the order:   1. Bryce Harper
2. Kyle Schwarber
3. Trea Turner I tried selling @Buster_ESPN ⬇️

.@PaulHembo couldn't sneak this one past @DanGrazianoESPN 👀

Most HR in age-21 season or younger 1953 Eddie Mathews (47) 2025 Junior Caminero (45) 1929 Mel Ott (42) 2019 Ronald Acuña Jr. (41) @Buster_ESPN believes Caminero is baseball’s next prolific slugger. But his trajectory is not without hurdles ⬇️

Cotham has built a pitching factory in Philadelphia, the latest beneficiary of which is Jesús Luzardo. Luzardo in 2025: 3.92 ERA | 2.90 FIP | 3.33 xERA | 3.31 DRA With @Buster_ESPN, on yet another pitching success story in Philly ⬇️

The Phillies hired Caleb Cotham as their pitching coach in November 2020… Starting pitcher fWAR since 2021: 1. Phillies (89.1) 2. Dodgers (72.5) 15. Mariners (55.9) The gap from 1 to 2 is the same as 2 to 15. Very, very good at his job.

"I'm excited to continue to work with Alec Pierce and Josh Downs.. Alec is as dynamic as they come and I think that room will be great" ~ @Daniel_Jones10 #PMSLive

Podcast youtu.be/s_P7bT4Fj0s Scott Boras discusses the Tarik Skubal decision about the WBC, how A.J. Hinch protects him; @PaulHembo talks Mark DeRosa's mistake in handling Skubal's situation; about Arozarena/Raleigh, WBC, the number that Bryce Harper should focus, the teams facing significant injury risk, Junior Caminero.

Amidst all the pomp and circumstance today, remember: free agency is the least efficient way to improve a football team. Just the loudest.

1995 Buccaneers: Warren Sapp & Derrick Brooks   2000 Jets: Shaun Ellis & John Abraham   2009 Packers: B.J. Raji & Clay Matthews   2012 Patriots: Chandler Jones & Dont'a Hightower   2022 Chiefs: Trent McDuffie & George Karlaftis   Dallas picks at 12 & 20. This is what they need. 🎯🎯 @PaulHembo

Most negatives since 2019 (tackles behind LOS):   Myles Garrett (147.5)
Maxx Crosby (146.5)
T.J. Watt (139.5)
Brian Burns (115.0)
Nick Bosa (103.5) ✔️ Plays every snap ✔️ Dominant pass rusher ✔️ Dominant run stuffer A marvelous player.
