This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Dikembier Sanchez pitching alert.

@benlindbergh.bsky.social “Next topic: floor to ceiling windows, I don’t like them” sounded like a Dana Carvey doing John McLoughlin on SNL lol

Letson is done after throwing 60 pitches. Ran into a little trouble in the 4th, walked his last two batters faced. Before that he was quite good, striking out 4 and allowing just one hit that was promptly erased with a double play. #Brewers

Records show the entire Illinois men’s basketball team reported just $9,100 in NIL deals during the 2023-24 season. Meanwhile, the average earnings reported for a male basketball player in the four biggest conferences were more than $145K/year. By @stacystclair.bsky.social & @jodiscohen.bsky.social

Fooling around on Ump Scorecards and it would appear that the #Brewers hitters are doing just fine in terms of the zone they're getting (+0.17 runs) but have gotten the second worst zone (-1.81 runs) on the pitching side. Trying to think of any other explanation for this other than bad framing?

Well that's unfortunate

With the #Brewers starting pitching situation largely compromised through April, but looking much better after that, if they can just stick around .500 for the next few weeks it'll be a solid outcome.

the brewers haven’t lost a game since

Legit question whether you’d rather go through what the #Brewers did last weekend giving up the HR barrage or what the Reds are going through right now, I think.

NEW -- President Donald Trump skipped the return of four soldiers who died in a training exercise to Dover Air Force Base Friday and instead spent $4.2 million of taxpayer money to attend a dinner for one of his business interests and to play golf. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Alright, glad that bunt/contact play sequence can now be a more theoretical discussion rather than a reason to grab the pitchforks and torches. 3-4 ain't bad after that start.

After crashing the stock market, Trump is now in FL for the rest of the week hosting the Saudi-owned LIV golf league at his course.

Not saying the Yankees are cheating, because they’re not, but an interesting thing I heard on the Dodgers broadcast last night is that Victus only had player-specific measurements for the Yankees, so other players are sorta guessing where they want the barrel. Start getting that data, other teams!

One of endless number of delightful quirks of baseball is how any player can go from looking utterly incompetent to being completely dominant, and vice versa, within incredibly short periods of playing time.

Not sure what's worse, the reporter asking a softball "do you want to weigh in on that" [Signalgate] or the reporter immediately moving onto another topic when Trump demands, like a little baby, that she doesn't "bring that up again". Our media is failing us. Again. zeteo.com/subscribe

there have been three major economic collapses in my adult lifetime and guess which party has been in charge each time? it's almost like their policies don't work.

Nasty pitch from Nestor

The bleachers? Really?

being raised in a blue collar family from the midwest, I've heard a LOT of "everything was worse after they sent the factories to China" tirades from people who are vocally anti-union, anti-immigrant, and pro-child labor who believe they're a good hard day's work away from becoming millionaires, so

Fox News has cooked so many people's brains

Dirty Everton gonna dirty.

This is almost as encouraging as the result of the race itself.

Between Musk offers of cash and Trump's AI slop porn, its a wonder the MAGA vision did not inspire voters in Wisconsin

@rdtopp.bsky.social - pulled that one!

Yelich pulled it. @badgernoonan.bsky.social @rdtopp.bsky.social @jaymesl.bsky.social

Don’t want to make a habit of using Megill to protect a 5 run lead, but given the circumstances…

Interesting.

fitting given that Thurmond's Mickey Mouse filibuster record happened before integration

A lead!?!?!?

#Brewers will not trail at the end of an inning for the first time this year!
