Gabe Hughes is leaning heavily on a fastball (55% of the time coming in, 57%+ so far tonight) and he’s survived by basically never letting guys hit it very hard. But tonight guys have hit it pretty hard. Rip

Nolan Arenado's grand slam (18)
when ur crush breaks up with her bf but then tells u she’s not ready for a relationship
Woke 1 this, woke 1 that. How about instead of imagining a debate on old posts you think about this: it’s a 1-2 count, righty at the plate, you’ve got a fastball, slider, change, sweeper mix. Guys watched all 3 pitches so far. Whatre you throwing
white guys will say things like "i don't like the cut of his jib" which means he wants that guy dead
every home schooler tiktok turns me into nikita khruschev
combining my two thoughts of "the dodgers are annoying but people are being dramatic" with "everyone is dramatic about pretty minor annoyances these days" to formulate a nuclear level take
The height of COVID was an incredibly stressful time with a lot of individual & ambient cultural trauma attached to it and, also, at the same time, many of the people who are most vocally Not Over It and never going to Get Over It were basically asked to care about other people & be bored for a bit
The Odyssey was good, I think comfortably one of the better Nolans. I’m hoping we don’t think Tom Holland should keep getting work outside the MCU or like, buddy comedies from here on out though. Jeez.
They got Dr Steve Brule out there on the mound for the cardinals and he’s dicing the Rockies up
Well Willi Castro keeps dropping the ball and getting eaten up by ground balls but that’s just the eye test you can’t trust that. If you check his range he’s also not good. So checkmate
just remembered when tiktok convinced a bunch of people they could get free money by going to the ATM and intentionally overdrafting their accounts. that was awesome
Extending Moniak was a silly roster move, now getting worse with how much Jake McCarthy shows an ability to play on the road and against lefties. Not sure you can keep both AND Carrigg/Veen/Condon. Neither Jake or Mickey are anyone I’d keep around but seems like the Rockies chose the wrong one.
American culture has just become soulless nostalgia plays disguised as innovation but hell, sometimes that works
They say the munitions are unlimited, but then your waiter starts slow-walking the refills and gives you just two at a time until you give up.
TRUMP ON MUNITIONS SUPPLY: WE HAVE UNLIMITED SUPPLY
Designated hitter Tyler Freeman…but the game doesn’t matter…
Sometimes I think about this post and it makes me laugh and laugh and laugh
NYT stating this like it’s normal when it’s absolutely berserk.
the last two episodes of charging the mound are gonna be all about the absolute legend himself

In the 90s, Seinfeld, the number one show on television at the time, had an entire episode where they make fun of how stupid the NYPD is and how worthless cops are for property crimes. If you made that any time after 9/12/01 you would be thrown in prison
Every kid sluggish at t ball today. Lotta dirt piles getting built. No hustle. Long season. Need Billy Beane to smash the speaker
It’s hard to #rewire my brain but this Diamondbacks team is genuinely fun and you just know Tim Tawa is hitting some monstrous home run in game 3 of the NLDS
