Maxey ties it with 22 secs left but Nic Claxton's putback gives the Nets the win

The ABS challenge system is a beautiful thing. Everson Pereira rung up for an inning-ending strikeout on a 3-2 pitch. But wait! A challenge! Overturned into a walk, then Spencer Jones hits a home run.

Chris Bassitt is this year’s Tim Mayza

I thought we were already doing this for Roger Goodell?

Bill Voiselle! The 3rd starter on the “Spahn and Sain and pray for rain” 1948 Braves, he was still pretty good! Wore #96 because he was from Ninety Six, South Carolina.

Aaron Boone said Chase Hampton underwent Tommy John surgery today. Brutal blow for the Yankees’ No. 2 pitching prospect.

We are on the air!

Yankees/Rays lineups for the spring training opener! We'll have it on YES at 1:00 with Michael, Jack & Meredith on the call!

Happy Heat vs. Raptors Day (last one of the season!)

Mattingly, you’re off the hook

Connor McDavid wins it in OT

I can’t believe they made a marble version of the Gummy De Milo. Who knew?

Paris for the All-Star break! Let’s goooooo

Yes! This is such a great *baseball* movie (even if the guy passing notes to John Gordon is a horrible stereotype of booth statisticians)

[gestures at everything I do]

Where the heck is Patrick Bailey? Good question, me: Led MLB in Framing Runs (16) 11 CS Above Average (2nd to Will Smith's 12) But -1 in Blocks Above Average It's hard to be great at everything!

2024 average or better in: Framing Runs CS Above Avg Blocks Above Avg (Statcast) Victor Caratini 3 | 2 | 4 Austin Hedges 6 | 1 | 4 Carson Kelly 1 | 4 | 3 Alejandro Kirk 10 | 8 | 3 Gabriel Moreno 2 | 4 | 1 Tomas Nido 0 | 3 | 2 Jake Rogers 9 | 1 | 8 Austin Wells 12 | 0 | 4

Van Lingle Mungo died 40 years ago yesterday. I'll bring over this thread from the other place that I never came close to finishing...

Annual "Everybody Needs Pitching Depth" update In 2024, MLB teams used an average of 12.9 starting pitchers for the season And they averaged 38.6 starts by pitchers who weren’t in their top 5 in starts

Happy Pitchers and Catchers Report Day! We have Aaron Boone’s presser live from Tampa starting right now on YES!

Kenley Jansen to the Angels is a good pickup. 1-year/$10M and still going strong (3.29 ERA, 28.4 K%, 3.00 FIP). 447 career saves, so two good seasons away from 500. What a great career. Plus a 2.20 postseason ERA in the 2nd-most playoff relief innings of all-time (65.1, Rivera 141.0).

Eric Bruntlett! Turned a game-ending unassisted triple play for the Phillies against the Mets on August 23, 2009. There have been only 15 unassisted triple plays in MLB history, rarer than perfect games and 4-homer games. Hasn’t been one since, when’s the next one coming? youtu.be/DviV7CYrc-E

THE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW IS UNION MADE! Shout out to Kendrick Lamar, and all the performers and behind the scenes workers that made this go off without a hitch!

Eagles 40 Chiefs 22 is not a Scoragami...one other game: www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/20...

Eagles have run 50 plays for 253 yards. Chiefs have run 25 plays for 38 yards.
