I’d pay extra for NESN without political commercials.

I had no idea the LA Queens have a one-handed pitcher who uses a specially-designed prosthetic to help her swing a bat It’s really, really cool to see someone with a limb difference playing professional baseball

R.E.M.'s 'Lifes Rich Pageant' turns 40 today. Recorded with Don Gehman in Indiana, the album sharpened the band's sound, brought Michael Stipe's vocals to the forefront, and opened the door to its next chapter.

You can only buy what is being sold and the 3rd wild card has cut heavily into the number of sellers. Some would call this parity, a lot would call it mediocrity.

Duh Cristian Arguelles hitting .400 in back-to-back seasons would be a good candidate for the minor league feats list As would the Mike Sirota 72-game on-base streak Anything else 2021 through 2026?

He did it! Rockies 19-year-old center fielder Cristian Arguelles hit .400 in the Arizona Complex League That makes him the youngest player we could find to hit that well for that long in a domestic Rookie league But there's even more to his story 👇 www.baseballamerica.com/stories/rock...

The Keith Hernandez bunt play that Mark writes about is in heavy rotation on SNY 😆 It is truly impressive but also highlights the downside of reflexive sac bunting by pitchers Pitchers may be better at laying one down than the average position player, but their run times to first are MUCH worse

Mark Simon (he/him)@marksimon.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Today is the 40-year anniversary of a memorable bunt play in Mets history. We remember the 3-5-4 double play that inspired a generation of Mets fans to say "You can't bunt on Keith Hernandez." 1986-mets-rewatch.beehiiv.com/p/23-1986-me...

The Rockies' Cristian Arguelles has a chance to hit .400 in a complete Arizona Complex League season He is hitting .402 through 57 games. The ACL Rockies have one more scheduled game today Arguelles went 3-for-5 yesterday and is hitting .484 in 15 July games 🔥

ACL Rockies center fielder Cristian Arguelles is batting .492/.507/.698 over his past 15 games, covering roughly the past calendar month Also: the minor league row summing feature is back at @baseball-reference.com !!!
