When a non-parent says they’re tired at any point of their day/life

@flpanthersmuse @IsaacAzout Hicks has been excellent this year.

@IsaacAzout Already putting mack in a platoon lol

Couple of news and notes: - Liam Hicks will be the starting catcher when facing left-handed pitching most likely, DH/1B vs RHP. - Agustín Ramirez will continue to catch in Jacksonville. No reps at any other positions yet #Marlins

@gbb70 While Bonds wasn’t for that reason per se it was a funny end to his careee being one of the best hitters in the game and not being able to sign

Wild looking back at some old baseball careers. Guy would have a .400 OBP and .500 SLG and get told it was time to hang em up at 34 because he hit .238

@RunDMcD @UnderdogMLB Also that throw was insane? He over threw the catcher from 370 feet away?

@RunDMcD @UnderdogMLB I’m not sure. Like it’s smart maybe? But it’s such a long throw he always scores so he is gonna be super conservative on the tag. Real meta would be barehanding it. Still cool to see

The Phillies walk off the Giants for the second time today Chase Shugart is the winning pitcher of both games

@RunDMcD @UnderdogMLB Nah you are right. 100% run scores no matter what… so confusing runner was smart

@nicholaspwallis @fuzzyfromyt It’s a great idea in theory but can’t see how it’s any faster at all since he’s getting up from a crouch now

@fuzzyfromyt Except it took him two seconds to get the throw off and the runner beat it by 1.5 seconds. If he uses the proper technique and gets a good throw, it’s gonna be a play at the plate.

I’m way late… But this is some pretty fun baseball IQ from Drew Gilbert in center. He caught the ball as low as *physically possible* to try and get the runner to leave a hair early (then he unleashed a throw that didn’t need a bounce LOL)

@DKThomp This is why I ignore my kids like a man

For example, if you want to say "well aren't today's kids more anxious than they used to be, so maybe all this extra time isn't so purely good" we've got you covered :)

New newsletter: MODERN FATHERHOOD WOULD BE UNRECOGNIZABLE TO A 1950'S DAD Compared to their Boomer parents, childcare time among Millennial dads has more than doubled. Compared to their Silent Generation grandparents, it’s nearly quadrupled. You will be hard-pressed to find any part of day-to-day modern life that has changed more in the last half-century than the way today’s parents—and fathers, in particular—spend their time. The new American dad is more present and more exhausted—but also, more satisfied with life. What's behind this half-century transformation? Today's piece combines history, economic analysis, and gorgeous charts galore from @AzizSunderji

It’s just a matter of time before you start seeing the home run pimpjob antics escalate to this level among impressionable kids. Josh Naylor is really not taking his duties as a highly visible role model very seriously at all. We are doomed as a society.

@Daily_MailUS Something something steak too juicy waiter

A JPMorgan executive allegedly used her power to sexually harass and abuse a junior male employee - drugging him, subjecting him to racial abuse and threatening his career. 🔗 trib.al/RglAnTU

@JoeOrrico99 Give me the fucking bat

Does that shit say 84 MPH FB?

@JoeOrrico99 He looks like he can absorb a comebacker. That gets thrown around but it has roots. Bigger likely means denser bones. He doesn’t run anymore, comes a time where fat matters but he ain’t close. That’s a man.

@JoeOrrico99 He’s a fucking pitcher. You want the guy w some confidence and meat on his bones. You want him eating well, not worried about shit. This ain’t Devers (valid)

Looking through the QTs:

@YancyEaton Happened to me post bender once. Heard he hits it hard, respect

Imagine being this sick lmfao

@YancyEaton @TheReal_NFC I have some that are damn near 1.3 and in top 3 and I’m just confused.

When your solo Main Event team’s WHIP no longer starts with a 1.4 @TheReal_NFC

@YancyEaton He always does something like hit a bunch of home runs late or in the playoffs or wbc and then make you buy back in…alas

As someone who has willingly spent no less than five thousand dollars in the last three years on fantasy baseball teams with Vladimir Guerrero Junior on them, let me just say — He really needs to hit more home runs than he does.

@bulldog1205 @dead_baseball Run to right field

@dead_baseball Not sure how you can criticize him. In hindsight though, would the best option have been for Ohtani to abruptly stop in the baseline, let the fielder run into him, and hope he gets in the way of the play at 1st?

I want those in the comments asking "what the hell is Ohtani doing" to explain how running into a second baseman with the ball would've led to a better result.

@YancyEaton True story milb pitchers should ditch the wind up but the older you get the more movement prior matters

he built like me fr
