Austin Hedges, arguably best defensive catcher in MLB over an entire decade, on OKD (One Knee Down) catching.
A couple changes within baseball have led to an uptick of — how do I put this delicately — foul balls to catchers' nether regions. "It takes your soul with it." "You have to be a tough motherfucker." Catcher in the Writhe: A deep dive into gonadic grief nytimes.com/athletic/7343059…

Lots about this today, with this photo showing why Muncy cut inside. Vargas, an inexperienced 1B, was on the foul side of the base, then cut back with his last move to get to the base. Muncy went inside as it appeared Vargas was going outside. This happens on over throws too.
The ONE time where sliding into first base would have made sense (for both players) Looks to me like Vargas having one foot in foul territory confused Muncy, who looked like he was shifting his weight back into fair territory The safety-base is inevitable...

PM Carney on Trump's 51st state post impacting trade negotiations: "The president is an exceptionally active user of social media. You probably can chart his usage of it. It's only gone up in recent months and we're not going to respond or react to everything that he posts."

BABIP is often referred to as a luck stat, though sometimes there are players that break the model.
This is one I've been thinking about for a while. Brandon Marsh has the 2nd highest BABIP in history, to Ty Cobb. It's not a fluke. It's a thing he does. A story about being indefensible and how he's more like Freddie Freeman than you'd think.. --> mlb.com/phillies/news/brando…

On issue after issue, separatists just wave their magic wand to wish away serious problems with secession. Myth: “Federal lands and federal building (sic) don’t add up to much” Fact: - Wood Buffalo National Park - Jasper National Park - Banff National Park - Waterton National Park - Elk Island National Park Together encompass 53,860 sq KM, or 8.2% of Alberta’s land mass - CFB Cold Lake - CFB Suffield - CFB Wainwright - CFB Edmonton Together encompass ~12,000 sq KM, or 1.9% of Alberta’s land mass - 138 Indian Reserves encompassing 6,556 sq KM, or 1% of Alberta’s land mass - YEG and YYC airport lands, encompassing 49 sq KM Plus hundreds of other parcels of land, buildings, etc, much of it prime downtown property (eg armouries, RCMP facilities.) So ~12% of Alberta’s land mass, including some of the most valuable and strategically important in the province. The total value would be in the tens of billions of dollars. But don’t worry, the separatists say. No biggie. We’ll just keep saying “Canada sucks” and stuff, cause facts are hard.
Replying to @jkenney @menard_ray
Federal lands and federal building don’t add up to much considering the big picture When Alberta no longer pays for the equalization payments to Canada then the cost for federal buildings and lands will be paid for in no time.

Thinking politically that no one should be making millions of dollars per year but knowing that in baseball that's actually anti-worker of me

Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan. Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.

I know Jays suck right now, but I built this anyway: jays.baby It's a daily stats panel that uses Fangraphs, MLB Stats and Savant data to show a ton of interesting information. I'm constantly adding new things too. I made this for the people, so RTs appreciated.

My hottest sports take is that if your stadium was funded by tax payers your games should be on free, network TV. Yes, I'm annoyed that I have to buy 3 streaming services and cable to watch the Spurs playoff games.

Finds a stupidity meme and uses it himself... Not a serious party. What a clown show!
POILIEVRE: "Oil is high. It's about $100 a barrel. You know when it was last $100 a barrel? In 2014. And you know what the gas price was then? A buck thirty-eight. Forty-five cents cheaper. Even though the world oil price was exactly what it is today."

Patrick Lennox, Former RCMP Intelligence Manager, on Alberta’s election data breach: That data—the full names, addresses, and phone numbers of almost 3 million voting age Albertans—circulated for at least a month in the Maple MAGAsphere, but has almost certainly been captured by state based authoritarian adversaries including Russia, China, and the United States. This poses a massive public safety risk and exposes the October 19th referendum process to profound levels of foreign interference from the global far right. Alberta is completely exposed. All of our elections data is in the far right wind. open.substack.com/pub/plenno…

When my wife and I had our daughter, we were both public school teachers. We had insurance through the school system. We paid about $400 a month for insurance. Our deductible was $14,000. My wife got 0 maternity leave - had to use all her accumulated sick days, then take unpaid time off. These are complaints because we knew our situation and chose to have a child. When middle class families pay for insurance and it still costs over $10,000 PLUS zero maternity/paternity leave - i think it’s fair to assume why “we’ve stopped making babies.”
“We've stopped making babies. We've decided that being distracted by a dopamine hit around Candy Crush might be a good way to spend your time. Not if you're a full human," former Sen. Ben Sasse says in an extended interview. cbsn.ws/4cA1Jrp
