Lane loses. I can’t bring myself to say go Kentucky, but that’s outstanding.

Old Dominion ruined a perfectly good 3-2 football game in the fourth quarter by scoring again

The Braves were streaky all year. They could beat anyone or lose to anyone. They chose the latter.

I’m not even mad. I just wait for the Braves to hurt me.

Team is cursed

Baldwin and Acuña have done less than zero this postseason. Olson is pretty much right there with them. It’s astonishing the Braves made it this far.

They’re making some weird branding choices

Phew. Minor miracle

What if NBC got rid of maga Carrie Underwood for SNF? Wouldn’t that be nice?

Michigan deserves every loss this year

Disgust!

As a Braves fan, despite my best efforts, I still have always loved Kruk as a player and broadcaster

Ozzie Albies' 2-run homer - the Joey Votto remix

Bobby Cambio had him the whole time. 😓

I was yelling at Harris for swinging at such a bad pitch lol. Can’t believe that crept over the wall

So much nervousness. I need the Braves to win for my mental health

I guess I shouldn’t be amazed anymore when I read books from top-tier academic presses that were never interested in my dissertation and the author writes or analyzes in a manner that would have been put on an acetate and shown to my freshman comp class as an example of how not to write.

Hey look he struck out on three pitches AGAIN

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The guy who hasn’t played most of the second half is pinch hitting with the game on the line

Braves should send a free runner out to second in their half of the inning and see if anyone notices

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Pretty much done with this game

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Votto needed to play with Iglesias a few more years to learn how to say his name correctly apparently

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

If the Braves lose this game they’re losing the series

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Dylan Lee had a 1.47 ERA in the first half of the season and was an all-star snub. He’s had a 6 ERA in the second half and should not be high leverage anymore. Give Dodd those batters. Suarez’s changeup makes him just as good against lefties. Huge managing L for Weiss

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Dylan Lee has had the hardest regression ever

000

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

An afterthought guy the Braves picked up off the scrapheap at the deadline is in line to beat the all-star game starter in an elimination game. Beautiful.

Attaboy Harper!!!

You can always count on the Phillies defense for some help

Vasgersian is just going to keep giving Albies’ stolen base numbers for Acuña and no one is going to tell him he’s wrong

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It’s almost like Mahle shouldn’t be the number two starter on a playoff team

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Narrator: He did

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I need Austin Riley to look at a 2023 calendar before this AB

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I hate Matt Vasgersian so much

000

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Vasgersian giving Albies’ stolen base numbers for Acuña. No correction. Sounds about right for playoff baseball.

000

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

There’s that familiar sinking feeling of the Braves in the playoffs. I think they’d lost a record ten straight playoff series before 2020 and are back up to three

At some point football coaches will get tired of hating to score points

Stop playing NFL games in countries where they boo teams for not punting or kicking

000

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

There wasn’t enough last day drama for MLB this year so I assume the commissioner will decide 6 more teams should get playoff spots next year

Cam Ward. Dude.

The Titans and Giants don’t deserve to play on television

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It’s amazing anyone pays Jameis Winston to play football still

Clay Cooper @tclaycooper.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Kicking a field goal first when you need two scores and it isn’t 4th down yet is stupid. I will die on this hill.

It’s so enjoyable to watch sports on delay where I can skip the hours of ads and fast forward through whatever bullshit feel-good/feel-bad story the sideline reporter has been salivating over delivering

If I’d put Troy Melton on my bench I would have won my fantasy baseball league for the first time. Instead I slept too late because I’d been up for almost 48 hours straight taking my dad to the hospital. What a shitty way to lose after 2300+ games this year.

It’s been so morally indefensible to be a Patriots fan for so long
