I'm right when I'm right, and right when I'm wrong. Where is that fiscally responsible person I voted for? #Sports #Politics

@BNightengale And people are saying baseball and @MLB are in a good place. Lma

You realize the impact of the WBC championship when Venezuela catcher Willson Contreras says winning the gold over USA was more meaningful to him than winning the 2016 World Series with the Chicago Cubs
Chris Cotillo@ChrisCotillo
Willson Contreras on the WBC: "I think it’s the best experience of my life. I played in the World Series in ‘16 and it was big but playing the WBC for your country, for 37 million people, means a lot more to me."

@PeterAppel23 Don't confuse rooting for country for love of baseball. I watched/rooted for US Men's curling at the Olympics.
Crazy, I know.

Tough for the “baseball is dying” crowd

With 10.87 million viewers on FOX and Fox Deportes, the World Baseball Classic Final outrated the seven-game average of the 2025 NBA Finals.

@smokefatsalt Preach
Worse, is even the traditional bad cuts of meat, outside skirt, flank, flat iron, etc... are priced like filet mignon at the grocer.
Thankfully, pork is still relatively cheap

The saddest part about BBQ is it used to be poor people food. Used cheap cuts and slow smoked them till tender.
Today it is more expensive than a typical steakhouse, charging $36/lb for brisket.
Worst thing to happen to BBQ ever is it became popular.
Now get off my lawn
English
@smokefatsalt Where the heck are you buying 36$ a lb brisket?
English
@BizballMaury Not saying much. The NBA is largely unwatchable.
English
This is extraordinary. The championship game had higher viewership than the average for the NBA Finals.
FOX Sports PR@FOXSportsPR
A legendary game calls for a legendary viewership number as 10,784,000 viewers watched the #WorldBaseballClassic final on FOX and FOX Deportes - the most-watched #WBC telecast ever 🏆 The 2026 WBC averaged 1,294,000 viewers across FOX, FS1 and FS2, making it the most-watched #WBC in its 20-year history across English language networks.
English
10.8M viewers for the WBC final. What a number for MLB.
Baseball has so much momentum and is still going to shoot itself in the foot so hard with a lengthy work stoppage next winter.
English
@S_Beasley @RealMattCarey Every commentator that watched disagrees with you.
English
there's nothing I love more in March than a mid-major who just spends the entire game jacking threes and letting the gods sort it out

@Name012345on @GottliebShow Some days, yes I am. Most days, not so much.

“The most important recruits are the ones already on campus” - retention is a huge key to Miami’s success. That and elite spacing, pace and shot making.
English
@S_Beasley @GottliebShow Pretending not to understand the point I was making
English
@BrodderTheDwarf @RealMattCarey That was not fun basketball. 16-41 is not fun/good basketball.
They played hard, and won (I don't know how) but, it wasn't fun basketball.
English
@RealMattCarey God's? That's effort, practice, skills and a "no fucks given" attitude. Miami plays fun bball.
English
@Name012345on @GottliebShow It was 16 of 41
3 x 16 = 48
And, no, it's not good.
English
@DanClarkSports So, for the players who need rehab assignments for missing a little time from a short injury, is the MLB going to have exhibition games, after the two week break, to get the players back in form?
It's a really, really, bad idea.
English
Rob Manfred said there may be a mid-season World Baseball Classic in future.
Some benefits:
• Higher player participation showcases a true “best vs best”.
• Players in peak shape means better quality, less strict pitch counts, etc.
• Breaks-up the regular season grind.

@mar5hallhoops 100%
I would rather win ugly, than lose pretty. (Kind of like my golf game...I look fantastic 😂)
English
@S_Beasley The goal is to win. No team in the tournament will win every game pretty. Bottom line is they won.
English
He's a Carolina great but that's asinine to say a 31-1 team shouldn't make the tournament.

@JonnyRoot_ If you don't think Coach Saban created value for his player's futures, you are delusional.
The kids now aren't even doing NIL, for the most part and it is bizarre. They have it all at their fingertips, too.
Schools paying kids isn't NIL, it is a loophole not intended to be.
English
“Instead of making decisions about creating value for their future, they were making decisions about how much money could they make…”
- Former Alabama FB Coach Nick Saban
I’m glad athletes are able to be paid, but the NCAA needs to fix NIL & protect college sports…

@iowahawkblog And the Caitlin phenomenon reached critical mass in 2025. Some tuned in to see what the hype was about.
My curiosity itch got scratched already.

Without the leverage of Caitlin Clark the WNBA union would be just another Starbucks barrista union

@blakecowellx It would kind of suck if you were watching a game, tied late with a few minutes left, the bell rung, and you went to your trig class and that teacher didn't have the game on.
English
@thrashman10 Just to be clear, no team, then or now, is/was doing NIL. It's a complete lie.
The players aren't even seeking NIL opportunities as a consequence. It's a shame.
