Great stuff from Gonzales and Davis with the game on the line.

Oneil Cruz is back

Broderick Jones getting worked by dudes that are going to be changing professions in the next weeks is not what you want to see.

There is no question Allar has an NFL arm. I just don't know if he has everything else. And it's impossible to know that throwing to these guys and with these guys blocking for him.

Between the uniforms and the punts Wetjen, Dunker and Johnson probably think they are still playing a college game at Iowa.

68 is so cut

If you need two yards, Kaleb Johnson will get you two yards. If you need four yards, Kaleb Johnson will still get you two yards.

I don't care what that pitch lands I'm calling that a strike if I am the umpire. Pitcher could have Nuke LaLooshed that ball over the backstop and I'm making the most emphatic strike call of all time. Any coach that teaches that is a loser.

Squattin' in the batter's box

Next weekend: Red Sox-Yankees on Saturday. Mets-Astros on Sunday afternoon. U.S. Open Sunday night. Let's go.

I want to see the Steelers sign Porter because he's good and even if it's an overpay it's probably going to still be fine. But I'm not the GM or signing my name on the checks so I can understand their hesitation in giving him Witherspoon/Gonzalez money when he's not them.

Here comes a thread of stuff I wrote from this week. Quinn Hughes is probably going to end up in NJ, so B/R asked me to put together some trade ideas to get him there sooner. So I did. bleacherreport.com/articles/254...

Three NHL Trade Ideas for a Wild-Devils Quinn Hughes Deal

Quinn Hughes is going to be one of the bigger storylines in the NHL going into and during the 2026-27 season.

Wrapping up my Better Luck Next Year series for the offseason with the Vegas Golden Knights. Very good team. Lot of high-end talent at the top. But also a lot of questions for a Stanley Cup Final team. adamgretz.substack.com/p/better-luc...

Better luck next year: The Vegas Golden Knights have a lot of questions for a Stanley Cup Final team

The Vegas Golden Knights have some great talent at the top of the lineup, but there are a lot of potential problems after that.

Talking Baseball: Everybody has a theory on what is wrong with Paul Skenes. Some are more logical than others. I look into some of them, including the idea the WBC messed him up. Also: PCA is the NL MVP, Big Dumper's fall-off, and some great jersey spotting. adamgretz.substack.com/p/talking-ba...

Everybody has a theory on what is wrong with Paul Skenes, when the most likely answer is probably the most obvious answer.

A willingness to say, "you know what, I was wrong" is also a positive one.

It’s ok to just say “hey I don’t know,” on something. In fact, that answer has often led to me finding out because people value honesty. Just food for thought.

I've watched that Pete Alonso home run-non home run 25 times and I don't know man. That looks like a home run?

One of my favorite Simpsons guest appearance. George Harrison. Music legend. A freaking Beatle. They got him, very early in the show's run of success, and could have had him do or say anything. They had him showing Homer where the plate of Brownies was and saying "what a nice fellow." Amazing.

Walking out of the stadium there was an old lady in a Magglio Ordonez Tigers jersey and I just said "I'm sorry you saw a loss but that's a great jersey." And in the most grandmotherly voice imaginable she said "oh what a player he was." Shout out to her.

We might not be back but that was still fun as hell

Not good enough.

Better luck next year: The Colorado Avalanche were the best team in the NHL for the first 91 games they played. Then they got swept and had it all end in disappointment. How do they improve on that? Can they improve on that? adamgretz.substack.com/p/better-luc...

Better luck next year: How do the Colorado Avalanche improve on a wildly successful season that ended in such disappointment?

A Stanley Cup is the answer, but do they have the roster to get there?

The Penguins roster doesn't look like a rebuilding team. But their salary cap situation, their draft pick capital, and the type of players they *are* acquiring DO look like a rebuild. So why are there still so many old guys on the roster? Specifically 67 and 17? www.pensburgh.com/analysis/800...

Why haven’t the Penguins traded Rickard Rakell or Bryan Rust?

Are the Mariners okay?

Chance to win back-to-back series with your supposed ace on the mound. It would be a great time for him to pitch like it tomorrow. I have no delusions of them being in the race, I just want to see them compete and not roll over. The bar is on the floor.
