Gotta practice what having a big boat is like at Union practice

12 goals, 4 wins, beat the breaks off Mexico and pretty much neutralize Canada. Thats a very good window for the USMNT

I do not enjoy watching Canada play soccer. Going to take that as a reflection of its coach

So many moments today where he reminds you just how good he is. What a development story

Can we restage Clint Dempsey's final game I just had an idea

022

Matthew De George @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I really enjoyed this. The full sweep of history is important at what feels like a historic moment. I also think Cavan Sullivan as the hero with a thousand faces from humble roots against a backdrop of prematurely crowned kings is the microcosm for the next 4 years in the USMNT pool

Plenty of times last year that I thought Nurse could've gone to him as an energy sub. The "if youre not going to play hard, I'm gonna bring this guy in" fire-lighter

Ariel Hukporti's first audition to replace the Andre Drummond 3 pointer bit is not going well

Mauricio Pochettino writes the headline on Cavan Sullivan: "He's a fighter. He's a warrior." #USMNT

OK, this photo from the Union's IG is pretty cool

Well that goal erased a handful of ledes, I assume

I'm not saying Berhalter is ahead of McKennie for me moving forward. But I am saying that McKennie doesnt automatically supplant Berhalter when time comes for him to be back in the team

Matthew De George @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

This window isn't over yet. But if you were the USMNT and worried that a prematurely crowned golden generation was complacent despite winning very little, this young talent pushing them from behind is about as damn near perfect as you could script it

Matthew De George @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

It's the defensive work and the complete f-you to back himself to do something with the ball instantly when he wins it

Julian Hall, all he does is score goals

Only 76er out appears to be Dominick Barlow (other than Bona and Fall). Looks like a heating pad/back wrap

Tacko Fall just lost a game of rock, paper, scissors to Franklin This and all the important updates to come

Every day, life presents sentences that on their face make no earthy sense

Matthew De George @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

"Otto Kemp is the Phillies' last chance" is certainly a sentence

020

Matthew De George @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Not absolving anyone of any decisions here, but the Phillies offense tonight isn't enough to overcome 4 innings of 2-run ball by Zack Wheeler tonight, either.

Matthew De George @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Good for Ray Kerr soaking it in coming off the mound. Guy did his job and then some today. A career highlight

The heat death of the universe is near. Matter ceases to exist. Somewhere, a voice: "You know, I like what I've seen from Trea Turner's at bats lately"

The Astros are having a change-the-playoff-format level of bad performance

Realmuto cant hit any more but man is he good at ABS

Bright side: Low chance of Michael Harris grounding into a double play here

Matthew De George @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I don't think the leash should be super long on Andrew Painter here in the 10th ...

010

Matthew De George @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Jesus Luzardo did everything you needed from him. Cristopher Sanchez did just about everything you needed from him. Andrew Painter is doing everything you need of him. Phillies need someone - anyone - other than its starting pitchers to step up. Again. Or still

And for the next 2-3 weeks, he is one groin

The difference in defensive sacrifice play execution between the Phillies and their opponents is roughly 100 percent

Matthew De George @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

You're asking a lot of a kid who has never pitched in relief like this before in the 8th of a tied elimination game

They're calling this the dumbest baseball club in the history of humanity

Only the Phillies can keep inventing new ways to lose like this

Matthew De George @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I've seen this Phillies game before. Cristopher Sanchez has been great to excellent, but anything short of perfect hasn't won many playoffs games with this Phillies bullpen/lineup the last few years

Matthew De George @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

We're 1 1/4 days into the Wild Card and it's a race to see whether I hate adds for Liberty Biberty or The Paper more

010

Matthew De George @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Also, because he's going to bat again in the 9th, just a quick scouting report: Austin Riley is swinging first pitch. Don't, for the love of all that is holy, throw him a strike.

Matthew De George @sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Alec Bohm has been better than I expected at first base. He's actually been quite good there

Cristiano Ronaldo seems very committed to Cristiano Ronaldo and nothing much else

Certainly the first time the guy with the .359 OPS has hurt the Phillies in a big game this season though, right?
