Need something, anything, from Acuña if we're going to keep this going and so far it's been nothing.

Amazing what winning game 2 did to heighten my enthusiasm. Now that we've got a series, I'm hanging on every pitch. Playoff baseball is the best.

oh my god that catch from Dubon. Shades of 2021 Rosario for sure.

Chris Sale is dealing. Don't like the approach from the bats. Credit to Yamamoto of course, but we're swinging at junk again.

Now that was a drive. Great response, and some great throws by Hoover. #iufb

@zachosterman.bsky.social You mentioned being at Crafters this week on the pod. Can you share details on that event? Couldn't find any info online.

I don't hate the defense struggling on their first series. This time of year, getting that on tape should only help later. Just hope AJ Harris is okay, injuries are the concern. #iufb

Josh Hoover to Nick Marsh for an incredible TD on the first pass of the season. The newcomers are going to be alright. #iufb

Carolina Crown's Jim Ott is well earned. Definitely my favorite hornline of the night. Immaculate sound with precision and control. #DCI

Love seeing The Cavaliers in aussies. Makes me miss seeing those white dots zip around the field with Gaines at the helm. #DCI

And now, the scores. #DCI

Man. Nobody in DCI is playing with sound like the Bluecoats right now. The shows take a few viewings to click with me, this year included, but they're on another level. Deserving champion. #DCI

Dreaming about the moonlight on the Wabash.

Was going through some old boxes of things and found this gem. IYKYK. #DCI

Playoff baseball is the best. It's just pitcher versus batter, two individuals matched up, over and over. Every ball in play is an epic adventure where anything might happen, and each pitch gives the drama room to breathe. Wish it was my team there again. There's nothing like it.

ngl, still feels a little strange watching #iufb and seeing a #2 over Indiana on the score bug. Feels like a digit is missing.

My wife in elementary ed also explained this well. We recognize kids at one end of the distribution need special services and support. It follows that kids at the other end are just as differentiated and need specialized services as well.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

Indiana up to third (3!) in the whole country by this per play metric. Gets to play 2 and 4 still this season.

Indiana Football spent months being chided for not beating an AP top 25 team, then three weeks into the season you watch an AP voter put winless Notre Dame at 14 and you realize how silly this whole exercise is.

Definitely Last Judge took me longest thus far. But what's great about Silksong, and HK before, the patterns are all there to be learned. My only issues are 1) optimal distance often results with the boss being off screen. 2) hit boxes can be weird, taking hits I shouldn't and not landing my hit.

Mendoza has a heck of an arm. Hoping timing gets worked out as the season goes on because the zip in these balls sometimes makes catches more difficult than they need to be. Can't wait to see it clicking. #iufb

Nice answer drive there. Good to see Indiana stop playing with its food and execute. #iufb

it is always worth remembering that vance made a conscious decision to be a person of low character. he has eagerly contorted himself into evil for the sake of what amounts to a whiff of power.

Ok. Yeah. I was holding a grudge for those wildly unnecessary props and the delay they caused, but this Carolina Crown show is killer. Powerful, aggressive horn book, and the corps is on the move throughout. I thought this was just another Crown BOA show at first, but I'm digging what it became.

@ckunzelman.bsky.social Got him!

Vance is the most inauthentic and disingenuous person I've seen. Politicians lie; he reinvents history to gaslight you. He lies like he's the smartest person in the room. Actual smart people call him out. Doesn't matter. It's the lie that's important. Orwell's Squealer brought to life.

That's right, PlayStation dot com.

I adore the ending to Boom from Boston Crusaders. Just a confident anthem to close out the show. It's a statement that says we know we have something special here, and we're bringing it home right now.

BOOM!!!!! Boston Crusaders! So glad I got to be there to see history! #DCI

And now the scores. #DCI

Last chance. Who takes the gold? #DCI #drumcorps

Damn, Bluecoats with a heck of a performance as well. The way they play with timing still isn't quite working for me, especially out here on the 15, but that performance is undeniable. When they groove, they groove.

Whatever happens, Boston, that was a championship show and performance.

Heck yeah Boston! I'd be thrilled to see them get their first gold. Tight scores across the board. Been a few years since we've had so many slots still competitive. Saturday night is going to be a lot of fun.

I haven't seen any more mudcrabs. Thanks for asking, though.

A week after a statement claiming leadership needed to change so the game could be delivered ASAP, Krafton has delayed Subnautica 2 to 2026 to add more content. Which is not a thing precluded by going to Early Access! But it does mean they avoid a $250MM payout promised to the dev team. This sucks!

Fuck. The leadership team of Unknown Worlds is removed from the studio they founded because the parent company wanted to monetize Subnautica 2 as quickly as possible. One of those games I wish I could experience for the first time all over again and now the sequel is being gutted. What a disgrace.

What athlete's expression will stay with you the rest of your life?
