Linda Tirado was shot in the eye with "nonlethal ammunition" while working as a journalist during the Floyd protests. The resulting traumatic brain injury to her left frontal lobe has caused her body to forget how to operate her organs. She's dying, and that cop killed her.
The weekly team meeting icebreaker was "what is your favorite meme" and I realized way too late they wanted an answer like "Pikachu face" but there i was trying to explain to people who aren't terminally online sports fans what "a drive into deep left field" means
Trevor Bauer is finding out that Mexican League baseball
@LigaMexBeis
isn’t a beer and taco league. My boys
@tigresqroficial
came to bang. Pitchers, it’s extremely important to field your position. You can’t just show up and expect to make plays. You must work at it.

Linda is the kind of person I wish I was. She created a community of people who act joyfully and unapologetically to help people escape abuse and poverty and abortion bans. She opens her phone, ears, and heart to anyone who needs to be heard. She is a hero, in the truest sense.
Let me help:
Trevor Bauer was released and paid his full guaranteed contract. Anyone can sign him. No one wants to.
Anthony Bass is both bad at baseball and bad at PR.
Franco is still under investigation, the result of which will likely save the Rays many millions of dollars.
Trevor Bauer has signed with "Asian Breeze", a Japanese pay-to-play travel ball/showcase team whose sole purpose is to get undiscovered players in front of scouts.
This is insanely embarrassing.
The world is less without her, and it's immeasurably offensive that the person who did this to her - the person she's legally forbidden to name - will not only outlive her, but he considered a "hero" because of the logo on his paycheck.

Being "welcome" in a community only on the condition that one be both sexually desirable and sexually available to other members of the community is not actually being welcome.
Being "welcome" only on the condition that the content is similarly objectionable is not welcoming.

The wild thing is that evangelicals hate Catholics and don't consider them to be Christian at all, unless it's politically expedient in the moment of course
it's wild to me that we're materially changing the way baseball is played and experienced and the only reason anyone can come up with is because it might make people who already don't like baseball slightly more tolerant of the game length.
Hey, cis dudes:
If no one's ever told you this before, let me be the first:
You get to have exactly zero opinions in how a person processes or shares the grief involved in a miscarriage.
Zero. Opinions. None.
If you have any further questions refer to this definition of none:

Many girls and women enjoy gaming. I'm D&D player, a CCG player, war gamer, and video gamer.
Can't tell you how many times I've had to leave a campaign because someone decided to hit on me for no good reason at all, and ruined the entire mood of the group.
We just want to play
@LightInLightOut
ah yes, all the schoolwork and none of the social contact, during a global pandemic they can't even be vaccinated against, constantly being used as political bargaining chips, very restful. good times.

: Shohei Ohtani will defer $68 million per year of his $70 million annual salary over the course of his 10-year, $700 million deal with the Dodgers, allowing the team to keep spending, according to a person briefed on the terms.

We actually don't have to pit professions against each other. Food service is important. Construction is important. Both food service workers and construction workers deserve a living wage.
@batflips_nerds
if the bases are empty the hitter should be allowed to run to either first OR third base. If he's safe at third, play goes the opposite direction the rest of the inning.
@12News
Someone needs to remind the cops that any time we see one of them our day is immediately made worse.
I get it - they want good press. They want the stories we were told in DARE about cops being your friendly neighborhood helpy helperton to be true.
They're not. Go away.
I’m sorry, but Dansby Swanson leaving a game early bc he says he hasn’t ate or slept in 2 days leading up to his wife’s surgery is absolutely wild.. it was a Patella tendon surgery.. like take a nap wake up fixed kinda surgery.. I can’t believe that’s a real story.
Americans will watch 19 nations go insane for baseball in March and call it meaningless baseball then demand their MLB team take them to a world series only one country is allowed to play in
"why should Chicago decide what rural people do?"
Why should people who are so pathologically enochlophobic they can't be within 10 miles of someone who doesn't share their own DNA be allowed to make decisions for anyone?
Me, explaining Seattle:
"No one talks to strangers, it rains 9 months out of the year, there's a 30% tax on liquor so 800 microbreweries have learned to brew 15% ABV beer that smells like weed, and the drive through coffee shops have strippers for baristas"
Periodic reminder that Ryan Braun doesn't suck as a human being because of PEDs; he sucks as a human being because he lied and tried to ruin a wage worker's life because he got caught using PEDs

It's absolutely wild to me that the statement is "the sky looks like" and not "the air is literally poisonous to breathe"
This isn't an aesthetic issue. A third of the population is breathing toxic levels of woodsmoke and you're whining that we're asking for someone to notice
Why are so many pro-owner?
I suspect if they agree baseball players should be compensated in line with the value they bring to their employer they will have to reconcile that belief with the fact that they, themselves, are significantly undercompensated for their own labor.
Once again reminding people that an increase in visibility is not necessarily an increase in occurrences.
Look what happens when you stop letting teachers hit kids with rulers for being left handed.

Once I was at this party and a guy smashed a beer can on his head and this other dude called Chris was like "OH YEAH" and put a can on the table and smashed his head into it but the can just flew off and he hit the table and needed six stitches
He's a better Chris than Pratt.
Umpire Angel Hernandez is retiring, a source confirms to ESPN. One of the most controversial figures in the game, the source of much ire and frustration by fans and players alike, Hernandez has umpired his last game in Major League Baseball. First on news:

I, personally, think it would be very entertaining to watch Trevor Bauer and his girlfriend/agent/lawyer try to explain to a judge exactly how he has been dealt a billion dollars worth of financial harm and suffering when the only punishment dealt was fully union-sanctioned.

Trevor Bauer has issued a warning to the league that he may have to take action. He hasn't pitched in the Big Leagues in 3 years, despite the allegations against him being proven false.

So I've been running around asking everybody if I can take a picture of their jersey. And I saw a guy in a Jorge Soler jersey. And I asked him if I could take a picture... And it was Jorge's dad 🥹🥹🥹🥰

I respect your right to deep throat your own foot as much as I respect the right of the Giants organization to tell you what you can do with yourself for it. 🤷
