My son asked me if we did the vinegar and baking soda experiment in the space station what would happen? I had no idea. #askNASA

@KevinWheeler94 @RyanDod21982336 @ZMJ13 The Cubs hit Caleb Durbin 4 times last season. He has that same crowd the plate approach. I don't remember him mouthing off like Contreras. If you crowd the plate, you gotta expect to be hit. And if you get hit, it doesn't mean you have to go nails up as you're sliding into 2nd.

@RyanDod21982336 @ZMJ13 I never suggested the HBP were intentional. Not a single time. The approach is intentional and, again, that's fine. You really think any MIL guy who got hit that often by a single team (say CHC or STL) wouldn't be just as irritated?

If you've been hit that many times by the same team, including 6 by Woodruff alone, you have a right to be pissed off. Even if the HBP isn't intentional the way they pitch him is dangerous and if one of their guys was getting hit by the same team like that they'd be pissed too.

Willson Contreras is the only player in the last 50 years to be hit 20+ times (24) by any team in fewer than 500 plate appearances (468) against them.

My son found my old POGs, so we had to play for an hour today. Now he's planning on creating his own, because he loves the game. @poggameofficial

St Louis City is definitely not an elite club in the MLS, but at least they looked like they might be a playoff contender against mid teams. #AllForCITY

When I was filling out my bracket I should have known that the Saints would beat the Blue Devils. God always wins.

And Team Taiwan has done it! Now they must wait for other pieces to fall in place. #WBC

@gonglei89 @OnDisasters OK. I understand your logic. You're saying there is one China. Some countries will say PRC is China, others will claim ROC is China. But with 80% of Taiwanese citizens 18-35 years old identitying as Taiwanese and not Chinese, the policy will most likely change in my lifetime.

@matthewfick @OnDisasters Learn how “one China” policy works and why these countries you listed don’t recognize the PRC 🙃

Nobody cares about what you want. Get used to the rest of the world ignoring what Americans think is right for everyone else.

The NFL and NBA have been chasing international markets for years. Meanwhile the WBC just packed a stadium in Tokyo for NINE INNINGS of Japan vs Korea — and nobody left early. They brought Ohtani home. They brought Yamamoto home. They put the best Japanese players in MLB back in front of the fans who grew up watching them — and added Korea and Chinese Taipei to the same pool. That’s how you actually build a global sport. The NFL and NBA are still figuring out what baseball already solved. Give baseball credit where credit is due.

@gonglei89 @OnDisasters While the countries that recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state are in no way hegemons you also cannot truthfully state that no one recognizes Taiwan as a country. China will continue to rattle their sabres, I hope other countries will continue to back Taiwan's fight for democracy

@OnDisasters lol you don’t seem to understand the logic. America can’t impose any terms on anyone anymore. Is that true with China over Taiwan? No. No one recognizes Taiwan as a sovereign state. Cry about it. We can all ignore butthurt crybabies like you 🙃

@j_clem I hope this same energy is here when City haven't won a game (match for you Eurofans) by week five. This season is looking like a repeat of last year to me: key players injured or unavailable so they're unable to fully implement the style they want.

The pendulum swings from reaction from week 1 to 2 have been wild so far. Do I think it was a great #AllForCITY performance? No. Do I think it was a good performance? Not necessarily. But that doesn’t mean it’s time to call for Damet out or to call what he’s building a failure. We’ve heard it consistently since he was hired. There will be “times we suffer” and moments it will not look great. These are growing pains. It takes time to install a system. And it can’t be discounted that there were major pieces missing last night. As the week goes on, and reflection happens, perhaps there will be some positives to build on. It’s fair to be critical. I’m not calling for blindly supporting the team. But one, early season performance with key pieces missing, does not a full picture paint. Perhaps, more than anything last night is a recalibration of expectations. Maybe there was a bit overreaction to the performance against Charlotte that makes last night’s game in San Diego sting worse than it should. I think I’m going to shift how I look at these games a bit. That doesn’t mean results don’t matter. But maybe it’s less game to game and more big picture that needs to be seen during these early days for Damet.

"On an MLS watchability rating San Diego has to be right on the top." I'd put City down on the bottom. It's going to be another long season. #AllForCITY
