Execution livestream? Did they look at the Roman Colosseum and think "Great idea, lousy broadcast?" Hegseth must think the difference between civilization and barbarism is steady wifi and a comments section. Make America Great Again? Apparently the year they have in mind is 1863.

@benlindbergh.bsky.social I'm 44 and the number of carbon copies I have seen or done myself in my lifetime, I can count on one hand. Memories are fuzzy, but I think they were all at my K-2 elementary school before it was torn down and rebuilt.

Imagine a very dumb, incorrect Barstool tweet is how you find out that Acuña wasn't talking about Snitker, but Contreras was talking about Fasano, who convinced the Braves Contreras was a defensive liability which led to trading him to the Brewers where he became an excellent defensive catcher.

And while running a bullpen game we still used fewer pitchers than they did.

100% agreed. Braves first, but after the Braves, I am entirely behind (in this order) the Brewers, Padres, Rays. If the Braves lose the NLCS, I am entirely behind the team that beats us. Only the best shall win, so if you beat us, you better win! Unless you're the stupid Dodgers.

Re: EW 2531 I think intra-division matchups in Sept are a stronger driver of attendance than more playoff spots. That said, expand to 32 and we no longer need constant interleague. Bring back late Sept rivalry weeks. @benlindbergh.bsky.social @jazayerli.bsky.social @sheehannewsletter.bsky.social

Pete Crow-Armstrong has the 12th 39/39 season in MLB history. Before he joins the 40/40 Club, let's recognize how close Jose Ramirez, Matt Kemp, Vladimir Guerrero, and Bobby Bonds came... and how close Alfonso Soriano came to doing it twice! 💻 @stathead.com Batting Season Finder

12 pitchers traded at this year's trade deadline have pitched 30+ innings since. Here is how #Braves Tyler Mahle ranks among them: ERA: #1 WHIP: #1 K/BB: #1 BB%: #1 K%: #3 BAA: #3 FIP: #2 fWAR: #2 RE24: #1 WPA: #1 Barrel%: #2 Run Support: #11 Wins: #1

Unlikely, but if… * White Sox lose all 6 (Royals, Rockies) * Rangers lose 4 of 6 (Mets, Twins) * Astros lose 3 of 6 (M's, A's) * Blue Jays lose 3 of 6 (O's, Reds) * O's lose 1 of 6 (Blue Jays, Yankees) …two sub-.500 teams would make the playoffs.

With the Braves win and Astros loss... The #Braves have clinched the NL East title. The #RedSox have clinched a wild card berth.

So the Braves can clinch the NL East for themselves and a Red Sox playoff berth today.
