Sports guy. Likes golf. Radio: PM Team on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh. https://www.audacy.com/podcast/the-pm-team-wponi-mueller-d7019 TV: KDKA and KDKA+ Nine Straight Threes is now on Ghost: https://nine-straight-threes.ghost.io/
Couple Ben Cherington quotes about Skenes from his radio show today on The Fan: "There's no indication, no information to suggest that he's hurt or that there's an injury. He doesn't believe that. We don't see that based off the information we have." Then why the velo drop and worse command? (1/2)
Now we see if that new-look bullpen can hold a lead.
Unironically good light beer. Sorry if this offends.
Here are the details on why Pearce is being suspended for those who don’t know. Pretty harrowing stuff, and it seems obvious he would’ve been cut if he wasn’t a top draft pick who played well: www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
Rickea Jackson, 'in fear of my life,' filed for protective order vs. James Pearce Jr.
WNBA player Rickea Jackson filed a petition for protection against her ex-boyfriend, Falcons player James Pearce Jr., saying she was "in fear of my life" and, if the court didn't intervene, she believed "James will kill me," according to court documents.

Which of these four Steelers helped themselves the most last night? Will Howard Drew Allar Lew Nichols Germie Bernard
Mason Rudolph: A Will Howard: A Drew Allar: A+ Hard to ask for much more from any of them. Allar looked way more talented than anyone else on the field with him, and he should have.

Baseball should have a mercy rule, btw. There is no reason for this game to continue. Other than to see if Ashcraft throws the Maddux.
Ashcraft gonna throw a Maddux and no one will remember three weeks from now.

Riley Bruce@rileybruce.bsky.social · 4d agoWhat’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?
My continued employment, and that of my co-workers, suggests that there are at least 3 of them.
grapedust@grapedust.bsky.social · 4d agowait...there are good sports talk radio shows?
Good sports talk radio shows do not just "let the caller talk," as so many callers insist they should.

On the flip side, if you want to see a man win a fight in dominant fashion using the same punch over and over again, I offer you this: Winky Wright jabbing Felix Trinidad to death for 12 straight rounds. youtu.be/xsitcGuk-g0?...

Aaron Rodgers is obsessed with his own privacy. His neighbors? Not so much. After moving to a new town, Rodgers used a cutout to secretly fund the local police department’s Flock-style surveillance program. www.foiaball.com/p/aaron-rodg...

Carmen’s gotta dance off that mound a lot quicker to cover first.
“Southeastern” is still such an absolute banger of an album.

If you were guessing at the cause of Paul Skenes' velo/performance dip, which would you pick? -WBC/Dead Arm -Elective mechanical change by Skenes
On another note, is there a kid under the age of 18 named Butch in the United States.
Chris Mueller@chrismuellerpgh.bsky.social · 5d agoCaller named Butch: "Guys, I think the issue for Skenes is that when he was at LSU, he was a hitter, too. And now that he doesn't hit, he's suffering the effects. I think the work he did as a hitter helped him as a pitcher."

Very happy to be able to stand in line and snag one of these for my son, who just likes Pokémon in general and has no idea about concepts like “resale value“ and “making a lot of money off of card collecting.” Especially because it took one away from the people behind me trying to do just that.
Imagine if that baserunning mistake was made by Man—*I am pulled pulled offstage by a shepherd’s hook*
