There is a player on the LA Queens, Brittany Apgar, who has a limb difference and traveled back to Illinois from receiving her first ever batting prosthetic *today* and is 3-for-3 in her first game playing with one. Incredibly cool.

Remember this morning when we were all happy?
The MLB Shop commercial that is running right now gets me with the "Where were you in '16? Where were you in '23?" Because I think they should have a version with Pittsburgh and Cleveland fans asking "Where were you in '79?" and "Where were you in '48?" Because pain lol
The Liberty Biberty mascot is what happens when a McDonald's Fry Kid grows up and has to get a job.
I know a lot of people have noted this before, but I'm currently reading "Meet You in Hell" about the Carnegie-Frick partnership and subsequent fallout, and it's just really striking how familiar the labor and social situations of the late 19th century feel to our present day.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9h agoLombardo on Trump: "When the press and media runs him down, they think about 'he's taking care of his billionaire friends.' But those billionaire friends provide jobs. And unless you take care of them, those jobs are absent."
Nothing is more boring than who will play Bond unless they do Across the Bond-i-verse and have multiple Bonds: Bond Woman, Bond Noir, Punk Bond, Indian Bond, Bond 2099, etc. And there can be a bit where they all say "The name's Bond" at the same time and everyone laughs
Harold Reynolds is currently on MLB Network blaming the Pirates poor defense for Paul Skenes' troubles this year. He's not entirely wrong. The oops all 2nd basemen infield (and oops all DH outfield early on) is an ongoing issue.
Found this guy on Instagram and Facebook who does a "Star Wars What If" series where people can comment their What If-style scenarios and he writes a quick little fic to show how the scenario could still work in the movies/established universe. Really cool and I enjoy those videos when I see them.

Once again, #24 is cursed for the Pittsburgh Pirates. They really should have the guys who ask to wear it sign a waiver.

Don't ask me why this just popped in my head right now after seeing this image, but: When the 2026 Pittsburgh Pirates inexplicably win the World Series, they're going to need to cast Matt Damon as GMBC in the movie.

New Phillies Order sounds like the name of a death cult lol
Matt Gelb@mattgelb.bsky.social · yesterdayDon Mattingly indicated everything is possible in New Phillies Order. Harper could be lifted for defense late in games. He might not. Stott and Bohm could end up back at their normal positions if subs are needed. Arraez could play first if needed. There are no rules.
The Yankees latest Derek Jeter heir apparent just dropped

sorry but "dont educate kids and dont give kids health care and let poor people die because theyre not rich" are not legit stances.
What were all the Boomers thinking naming their Millennial daughters Caitlin? Now it's 30+ years later and we all work together and get each other's emails by mistake.
They have Lindsay Lohan marketing the Reese's Oreo cups now? That's genius!
Henry's face was literally "I can't believe that fucking worked" lol
Maybe the Brewers really should have gotten more pitching help today?
Pirates acquired Kirby Yates and Lake Bachar at the buzzer for "prospects" and I'm still waiting for names...

Honestly think it's a toss up if the Pirates trade Lowe in the next 45 minutes. I can see arguments for keeping him and trading him, so it really wouldn't surprise me the way moves are being made today.
