Try to tell me college baseball isn’t the best, I dare you

Oregon State's Gavin Turley walks off Louisville with a double

Not sure there are adequate words to describe what just happened to Oregon State but you need to see it - a throwaway followed by a whiffed throw

Marcelo Mayer's two homers in the first couple of innings tonight

And look how well it worked out for those three!

115 MPH, 497 FEET ROMAN ANTHONY GRAND SLAM

This is one of the worst calls I have ever seen

“I’ve done that before … in Mario Kart” Lando with the quote of the year so far

I desperately need Max’s engineer to tell him “he didn’t bump you, he didn’t nudge you, he RUBBED you. And rubbin, son, is racin”

Also in the notebook: The Red Sox have 5 walkoff losses in May, their most in any month this century. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/28/s...

Go Deacs

Since the start of last season, Rafaela has a 77 wRC+, last among all major leaguers with at least 700 PA. While there are some signs of improvement, results have been even worse this year. 2024 → 2025 BA: .246 → .226 OBP: .274 → .281 SLG: .390 → .335 wRC+: 79 → 68 Chase: 46% → 43%

This was the 5th inning. College baseball is truly the sport of kings cc: @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social

I’m starting to wonder if Cora is just going to have everyone take a turn doing 1B drills until Raffy starts to feel left out/guilty. Look forward to seeing Crochet take his turn next week.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AN ASSISTED HOME RUN ROBBERY?!

I wrote about how Star Wars finally made a property without even one lightsaber and was all the better for it. (Seriously, this has never happened before unless you want to dive deep into 1980s cartoons or made for TV Ewok movies.) www.indiewire.com/features/com...

Red Sox pitchers have blown 13 leads in the 6th inning or later this year — including 3 tonight — most in MLB.

On the bright side tonight, with another HR, walk, and 3 more hard hit balls, Abreu's pace numbers now read: 43 HR, 107 RBI, 16 SB, 6.7 WAR
