Ice cold to be that disciplined in such a huge moment.

De Paula is fearless and confident and fun and cool and it wouldn’t surprise me if he does something big here.

I never want to see ump cam for live action. It can be a fascinating view but save that shit for a replay.

Proud that you separated yourself again. I reached my point of no return long ago and am much better for having left it.

Football is dumb and we are all dumb for watching it and I’m gonna take a very long sad nap and will be So Back next week like a stupid gullible masochist

There’s a woman here who looks quite a lot like Lizzy Caplan. And it took me like 30 minutes to figure out who she reminded me of.

It looked incredible! Where was it? The bobblehead hall of fame??

I have gotten to the point in life where I’m way too excited for when they’ve added the raspberry flavor back to the sparkling water machine at work

I love that one of them is one of the few that survived the dumpster fire of K-State basketball last year and left with any credit. Poor Abdi was perhaps the only likeable guy on the team imo.

Dan Merker @danmerker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Going to Cade Smith was a curious choice. Pulling him after 2 batters is even curioser.

Great analysis by Ron Darling there to basically predict the game-tying HBP.

Dan Merker @danmerker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

The choices are better now, but many years ago when I first set this up, the American voice was harsh while the other accents are more pleasant. They’re all better now and there are more choices but it’s still fun to change it up.

Dan Merker @danmerker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Wow. As good as Messick is, that feels like a quick hook. But I guess with no margin for error and after walking a run in, Vogt doesn’t have the luxury of patience.

000

Dan Merker @danmerker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Now I need to decide what to go with. There are several choices for various countries’ accents. Leaning toward Irish female…guess I can always change it if I don’t like it.

Dan Merker @danmerker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Got a new iPhone and updating settings accordingly. I’d always had Siri as a British (English) female voice. New one defaulted to American, so I went into settings to try other accents. There’s now a British female that has a (to my ear) Manchester/northwest accent. Hard no!

Just get home and tune into K-State vs. KU soccer right in time to see KU score to take the lead. 😞

I’m not a sports gambler but looked at all the low numbers on the board in the baseball playoffs and noticed that in the Division Series, the under is 9-3-2. 🧐 🤔 ✍️ 📝

Dan Merker @danmerker.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

And one of those two will be eliminated by Saturday.

This Brewers/Padres NLDS is the second series of at least 3 games in postseason history where neither team led by more than 2 runs at any point, joining: The 1915 World Series h/t @EliasSports

It’s a fun night when we can have a Jeffrey Mayer callback and an Adam Jones callback. Shoutout to all the Orioles fans I guess. Their most relevant moments in 40 years. 🫣

Dan Merker @danmerker.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

C’mon crew show the Adam Jones catch!

Dan Merker @danmerker.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

The way this series has gone, there’s no way the Padres go out meekly, is there? Got be more chaos!

who is having a good time tho?

Added bonus of the Rays sweep; I don't have to try to watch an afternoon elimination game tomorrow while at work. I just can't pay adequate attention to the baseball and it's not fair. Excited for Sox/Guardos in primetime.

Bryan Baker's changeup to a lefty is just delicious

I am happy for my friend @wardamnmegs.bsky.social even more than I am laughing at the hilarity of the Yankees getting swept out of the ALDS.

They make it so much easier on us with the graphic -- I don't know how the catchers (or umps, tbh) do it so well.

Dan Merker @danmerker.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Everyone will be talking about the interference call but nobody will be talking about the clutch challenge by Hicks one batter before which directly saved one run and may have eventuallly saved more.

A penny for Orioles fans thoughts...at least those over 40.

I’m working with a vendor partner engineer who often-but-not-always tends to refer to people (not directly, only when talking about them) as “The <their first name>”. I don’t know - he speaks great English. But I find it oddly endearing. So I’m “The Dan”. I kind of love it.

This series is so much fun. We deserved at least one more game of it.

I would very much enjoy if this series ends with the Yankees committing more errors than they have base hits.

Good riddance, shitbag All I can think of when I see any reference to him is the very foundational SNL skits with Phil Hartman & Jan Hooks playing Jim & Tammy Faye Bakker and they were so goddamn funny

I know this is Mike Trout and also golf but the ball gets very small very quickly and this is what it reminds me of

Dan Merker @danmerker.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

it’s weird tragic defense has never cost the yankees in the postseason before especially not in a fifth inning this is so out of character
