At 1:34 AM Trump called for DOJ to investigate Kamala Harris, Beyoncé, Springsteen, Oprah and others for crimes, he then made another deranged post about it at 9:11 AM, and the lead story of the day on MSNBC and CNN continues to be Joe Biden in 2023.

It’s a Happy Fuckiversary to #TheThickOfIt, 20 today!

RHP Trey Gibson was one of the top strikeout artists in the system last year, putting up a 30.3% K rate in his first year as a pro. Through 29.2 IP this season, Gibson owns a 35.6% K rate after striking out 10 across 5.1 IP (1 ER, 3 H, 1 BB) last night.

Welcome to Double-A, Nestor German! German tossed 5.2 shutout innings in his AA debut, with 6 strikeouts and 6 groundouts.

After RFK posted this pic and declared the Caps "my new hometown team," Washington lost 3 straight and have now been eliminated from the NHL playoffs.

Samuel Basallo since returning from his IL stint: 14 games 4 HR/4 2B .910 OPS 142 wRC+

30 years ago today Frank Shamrock and Allan Goes had a terrific fight in Pancrase. Engaging groundwork, interesting striking (even on the ground), and just a lot of fun that holds up well today. Thanks to @jonathansnowden.bsky.social for recommending this back in 2002 on a message board.

Kiley McDaniel’s updated Orioles Top 10. And we thought we were bullish on Trey Gibson 👀 t.co/6eKVSm1zbo

First match announcement for DEAN! A Lucha Cibernetico with DEAN, AEW and CMLL luchadores!

Mayo and Basallo showed out tonight. Mayo - 3-4, double, 2 HR, BB Basallo - 2-5, HR

Brandon Hyde on Félix Bautista: “He is back to being Félix.” Hyde said the stuff from Bautista tonight was “exploding” out of his hand

We are doing a big thing!

this is like every 80s movie about the teenage son of the town richie who actually thinks everyone likes him

Tomoyuki Sugano, 94mph Fastball and 88mph Splitter, Overlay.

Michael Forret (BAL) is a rapidly rising arm in the Orioles system! He is off to a hot start this season with a 36.6 K% backed up by a lively mid 90s high-riding fastball and a pair of strong breaking balls. The command has also looked improved! Video: @oriolesontheverge.bsky.social

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult

152 good gravy

He’s right

UWA and IWRG legend Black Terry (Esteban Mares Castañeda, 72) passed away earlier this morning. Terry and his family have been especially kind to me over the years. I will miss him greatly.

This was so good! Never seen Nakamura before and he impressed as a kind of Alexander Otsuka type guy…..pro wrestling stylings (springboard dropkick!) w enough shooty elements that made it all work. Aoki was also great.

I've been working on a film study about Jiri Prochazka's grappling so here's a teaser about his fight against Vadim Nemkov in Rizin youtu.be/Nn1S3Fc3vYM

O'Hearn: “As far as my baseball career goes, this is without a doubt the best thing that has ever happened to me. You guys know this. I was thinking about Japan. I was thinking about what am I going to do next. ... I don’t take it for granted. I love showing up for work every day.”

Michael Forret with a dominant outing tonight: 5 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 9 K Forret has 19 K through 14.2 IP this season with a 0.61 ERA

sports.yahoo.com/wrestling/ar... My debut for Yahoo sports!!

Bonkers. This is a great example of why I keep saying that no one should just accept the government's word as fact. It is run by flawed people who aren't inherently trustworthy—which is something conservatives used to understand. Once again, due process matters.

Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman blew a kiss toward the Orioles’ dugout after his save. A medical issue prevented his signing in Baltimore this winter

An umpiring blunder costs the Orioles at a critical moment www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/oriol...

RHP Kyle Brnovich struck out 6 across 4.2 IP yesterday, giving him a 32.5% K rate through 2 starts, with a 7.5% BB rate and 3.55 FIP. Wrote about Brnovich last week and how what was once considered a weakness of his is now one of his strengths. oriolesontheverge.substack.com/p/kyle-brnov...

Fabian BOMB 406 feet to left center, 107 MPH off the bat. Now hitting .250 with an .847 OPS.

Orioles starters down on the farm tonight: Brandon Young: 5.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K Zach Fruit: 4.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K Michael Forret: 4.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 5 K Eccel Correa: 4.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 5 K

Did not disappoint. Not a run allowed and 17 K between the three of them in 14.2 IP.

Excited to arrive at an Indivisible protest in Clearwater this afternoon in my @BobCesca t-shirt. Turnout on all 4 corners of a major intersection was jaw-dropping, stretching for blocks along 2 6-lane streets. I had the honor of holding that "Hands Off our Books" sign for 1 hr & 45 minutes.

Can't be emphasized enough how this literally never happens when you elect Democrats.

From @mlbpitchprofiler.com Baker has been gross, and that smattering of fastballs with ~10 inches of horizontal break is a new development. Adding run to a pitch that already has a great deal of ride could help unlock a new level for him.

gonna record today's @intothecast.bsky.social episode soon but my one immediate take is that it's incredible how sony handled bloodborne so poorly miyazaki went and made a spiritual sequel exclusively for nintendo. i jumped off the couch.

the last two years of Switch were so bonkers (new Pikmin/Mario/Zelda/a bunch of other things) that i expect this thing really won’t start cooking until fall of 2026 (still getting one if/when i can find it, tho)
