On the one hand, 11 of 12 is good.
On the other, it’s 1-0 Liverpool

Aaron Rodgers shortstop?

Wait, Abner is up? Oh gosh.

Also maybe ditch the salmon sleeves

TFW you have definitely been following Badgers hockey all year as you watch them reach the national title game

Boston has had two of the best ones even

Jeff Suppan, despite pitching great! Obviously

A good look at the Pratt extension with good reminders that 1) the Brewers love a good defender & 2) they are maybe proficient at developing power.

Also, Pratt's slash lines may not look great but both DRC+ and wRC+ have him around league average in '24 and '25 at age 19 and 20, so there's hope 🤷‍♂️

Well, it's something different

Yes, big purchase means I need big internet

Think I’ll like him in Brewers pen

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty

This sucks for the athletes and is getting painted as a set of conflicts between athletes, coaches, and admin with much of the blame being given to the athletes. Premeditated is too strong but the admin probably was looking for any reason to start a women’s wrestling program & this “conflict” is it

Denny and I have crossed paths multiple times professionally, and the next bad thing anyone has to say about him would be the first. It means a lot to share something personal with his blessing.

Thank you to Denny and everyone who takes the time to read.

MLB Gameday view of Brandon Lockridge's AB. Pitch number 1 was in the lower middle square of the strike zone. It was originally called a ball.

Here's the gameday view of the overturned call against Lockridge. Pitch number 1 was initially called a ball, Salas challenged it pretty quickly.

Ethan Salas wins a challenge on what looks like an egregiously missed call. Spring training for everyone, I suppose

Bishop Letson made his Spring debut!

Wow! I knew Letson was a rising prospect in the Brewers system, but I did not expect his fastball to look that awesome, especially at that velocity. He will be a consensus Top 100 Prospect very soon

Iowa legislature trying for Davenport Bears

Pie chart depicting pitch types for Garrett Stallings in 2025. 4-seam fastball: 30.5% (445 pitches) Cutter: 17.8% (260) Sinker: 14.6% (213) Changeup: 14.2% (207) Slider: 12.6% (184) Curveball: 10.2% (149)

Pitch movement chart for Garrett Stallings

Garrett Stallings hasn't pitched in the majors yet. Here's his pitch types from 2025 with Nashville. Heavy fastball load between his three varieties. His sinker has a little more arm side movement than his 4 seam and his cutter, slider, and curve look similar in horiz. movement.

Yes we absolutely can

Two new Detroit Tiger uniforms. On the left is a dark navy uniform with script "Detroit" in orange letters with both navy and white trim. It also has orange numbers on the front. There are a pair of light gray pants laying on top of them, this is a road alternate. On the right is a bright orange uniform with the "Old English D" on the left chest in navy. A pair of white pants lay on top of this shirt because it is a home alternate. Both sets of pants have thin piping of navy, white, and orange down the side of the leg.

Tigers are rocking some new alternates this year. Navy one reminds me of Baltimore but still looks good

That’s Dan❤️‍🩹🦅

Olympics, Birkie, and Barkley all the same weekend. Wow

Brewers make a trade that moves all their third base playing time off the roster.

My BP annual is supposed to arrive today and it’s ruined!

But the Brewers are acquiring a young pitcher, he’s probably going to be alright

MLB TV will remain $150 a season but look at this BS they’re trying to pull. You cannot “buy” MLB TV without buying ESPN Unlimited, but they give you a one month free trial, and then the hope is you forget to cancel since you don’t need ESPN to have MLB TV, only to initially purchase.

As we head into another baseball season. I am begging people to use alt text on their images of baseball players. I watch a lot of baseball and still don't always know all these dudes on sight. Give a little description. Tell me their name.

Twins had this last year, it was $99 for the full year. In Iowa, we finally got FanDuel Sports Network with Brewers, Royals, Cardinals last year for the same price. Probably not going to be a special Iowa package where you can get all 4 teams for $99.
