I think I'm calling this a swing too.

Pretty hard to imagine the Rays winning 4 of the next 5 against this Brewers team.

This will probably be overturned but I just don’t feel like fast turns at second base were ever meant to be microscopically analyzed like this. 🤷

With one team about to win its first-ever World Series championship, a look at the 121 prior World Series champions (both prior to and since the advent of divisions within the leagues).

Guardians trying the bold contrarian strategy of prioritizing getting their worst arms into an elimination game.

Sirianni is going to be immediately fired, correct?

Already doing my angry-muttering laundry and dishes and general rage-chores. Guards are making me do my usual Browns Sunday routine. 😂

Adell swinging through fastballs right in the heart of the plate is going to make me crazy.

Remarkable exchange from start to finish. He is so good at this.

Incredible 😂 60 carries at 8 ypc!

Who’s having a worse time right now: Rob Manfred or Craig Counsell?

The Dodgers being on the verge of elimination, leaving only the Brewers, Guardians, and Rays, is just about the funniest possible outcome heading into a lockout ostensibly about a salary cap.

PETEY!!!!

Honestly not sure how either of these teams could hang with the Brewers over 7 games.

I wonder how much precedent there is for a player (like Jake Bauers, below) increasing his average bat speed by almost 3 mph from one season to the next at age 29.

Guardians and Rays played fairly similar ball down the stretch - especially offensively. Post-trade deadline: Tampa: .256/.319/.399, 100 wRC+, 230 runs in 49 games Cleveland: .255/.326/.405, 106 wRC+, 230 runs in 48 games The two were 6th and 7th in run differential per game from that point on.

Trying to play it cool but I’m going to be a mess about this elimination game tonight

White Sox have definitively passed Cleveland in vibes this season (aggregate talent too, but most importantly: vibes). A fun, young, hungry squad. I unironically think a reason Detroit and Minnesota's cores in the last few years underachieved relative to the Guards was "the vibes were off."

Great article by @jeffwzimmerman.bsky.social today looking at the year's closer environment in more detail: fantasy.fangraphs.com/2026-end-of-...

Wow Hunter Brown looked stunned walking off the mound. This Sox team can rake.

257 distinct pitchers recorded a Save in 2026; the all-time record by a substantial margin. 41% of leaguewide saves were by pitchers with a total of 1-9 saves on the season. There were only 2 closers with 40+ saves.

Browns can’t even tank properly 🤦

"why would I deceive you?"

hooooooo boy, this got me good 😭

Are these Royals relievers on the take or what?

Crazy looking at how much excellent television there has been this century so far. I wonder how close Search Party was to making it on. That would be in my top 100.

Begrudging respect for the Pittsburgh billboard I just saw over 376-E near the Squirrel Hill tunnel: “What’s worse than CLEVELAND? TARIFFS” 😂😂😂

The Guardians and White Sox both seem determined to torture their own fanbases as much as possible down the stretch.

Can't overstate just how self-inflicted this all is

Rooting for Baker Mayfield to humiliate Deshaun Watson - and possibly end his Browns career - next weekend.

I prefer to imagine the Browns coaching staff are willingly humiliating Watson. But whether or not it’s intentional, I enjoy watching it happen.

This Bold Jumper is giving muppet and alien and diva, all at the same time

"I have invented a term, 'wokeism,' and then I have imagined that wokeism was disavowed. So what do the people who my friends in the newsroom (and absolutely no one else) call 'wokesters' have to say for themselves, now that I have imagined them into capitulation?" www.nytimes.com/2026/08/26/o...

When Democrats win back the House, we will have the authority to fully investigate the corruption coming from Trump, his family, and White House officials. Ranking Member @robertgarcia.house.gov and Oversight Dems will be relentless in holding them accountable. ⬇️

It's only August, but the decentralization of saves in MLB continues: 235 distinct pitchers have already recorded a save this season - more than in any prior season since the save's inception.

For 2022 and 2023, Andres Gimenez was putting up 4-6 win seasons and Guardians fans could squint and say they managed okay in the Lindor trade. But six years after the deal, I think it's a pretty straightforward story that they traded away a star - and lost a star's worth of production.

His 63.00 ERA is probably a little unlucky due to the .727 BABIP, but I'll admit - I'm a little worried about the decline trend in Leo Rivas' fastball velocity. 😉

While mainstream WNBA discourse has been politically hijacked by people who don't actually know or care about the WNBA - the WNBA is quietly: - having its best attendance ever - seeing better shooting, ball movement, and scoring than ever - about to expand to 18 teams by 2030

Denae Benites update: .824/.778/1.706, 5 HR, 15 RBI, 6 SB in 4 games She is leading - and more than doubling up the second-place person - in HR/RBI/SB. The rest of the league has 6 homers combined. Practically playing a different sport than her competition.

Possibly not significant, but Misiorowski’s average four seam velocity dropped more than two ticks in his last start.
