As I watched Willy Adames single home Grant McCray against him to give the Giants a crucial July win against the Rockies, I thought "Oh, but Antonio Senzatela will have the last laugh. In the World Series! Which he'll play a part in deciding!"

On a serious note: I'm so thankful our city made the right choice tonight. What a relief. There are a number of wonderful, progressive candidates who also won this evening, and I am thrilled for them and their ridings. Okay we now return to our scheduled programming of making fun of Brad Bradford

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

Unbelievable loss. An amazing talent, and just a really, really good person. www.instagram.com/p/De8RFy4pyov/

No-brainer addition to next season.

Ignorant, uneducated people are, by design, easier to control and manipulate. That's a consistent factor in human history.

I really hope the WPBL takes off and destroys this sexist line of thinking in the public consciousness forever

It always makes me sad when I see men say they want sons because they want to have a kid to play catch with (and yes, I STILL see them saying this despite it being the year of our Lord 2026). I'm so lucky to have a dad who loves playing catch with me. The ways misogyny prevails boggles the mind.

MLBAM produces a professional, high-quality broadcast free of AI and free of a colour commentator who hates baseball, and the rights work out so Americans are not allowed to legally watch it despite both broadcasters in the booth being American Thankful to be a Canadian baseball fan for this

i'm sorry, who thought that Yandy Diaz graphic was a good idea?

It's the fourth straight year Fox has objectively not had the best TV broadcast for the World Series. MLB International and then Sportsnet last year just have given the consumer a consistently stronger product.

Dave Flemming and Ryan Spilborghs noting that Rodon's slider has been completely taken away from him and why (bleeding blister) right before the Dodgers get a couple homers and a double against him because of it - really great read.

lol they're rendering the scorebug at the wrong size. Look at the comparison between the regular one and this year's; way too big

Speaking to media at the World Series about an expected MLB lockout, MLBPA executive director Bruce Meyer said “none of this has to be happening.” Meyer said MLB’s push for a salary cap is about increasing franchise values and capping costs, not competitive balance.

AUSL Players Association@auslpa.bsky.social

Professional softball deserves a fully professional union. That's why an overwhelming supermajority of AUSL players have signed union cards to form the AUSLPA.

Also good luck to mlb as they try to force a lockout under the “small market teams have no chance” narrative on the heels of the Brewers, Guardians or Rays winning the World Series. Whoopsies!
