Why is the appeal to first base necessary for a check swing ruling? If the batter went, call him out
BTW, Dodgers and Padres both have losing records on the road

Giants win on a little league HR that was grounded to the pitcher, on their last of 17 straight games without a day off.
The comeback kids are in sole possession of 1st place in the NL West.

I just read the King novella and was amazed how closely the movie followed it. Main difference being that the book keeps going after they return to Castle Rock, and describes how Ace and his gang make good on their threat and kick the shit out of all 4 kids.

Wild stat (and enjoyable for me as a Brewers fan):
The last time the Cardinals finished 2 consecutive full seasons under .500 was 1958-59; the latter was Bob Gibson’s rookie year.
Sure looks like they’re gonna do it again this year.

Check out these home-road splits in the NL West. Giants have played way more road games than LA and SD and are still piling on the wins
Judge hit a double today that was reportedly the hardest hit ball of the season. I timed it at 3.7 seconds from his bat to the CF wall 😳

The Giants have a .800 winning percentage and they’re in third place in their division
I went to high school with Brian Scalabrine. This video of him beating a loudmouth streetball legend at his own game was so satisfying.
Don’t mess with Scal https://youtu.be/BvTEKEulcOQ?si=Z2f_6K0O5nRz3S4M

The Reds just lost their 3rd straight game 1-0. Hasn’t happened since 1960.
Can’t imagine how frustrating that’s gotta be for Reds fans

1/ I’m excited to announce the cohort for our fourth Crypto Startup Accelerator program (CSX 04), starting this week in San Francisco.
CSX helps early-stage startups building on blockchain technologies to accelerate development and product-market fit. It is an intensive program that provides the expertise, mentorship, and support that startups need to build ambitious products across industries.
Over the next two months, the founders of these companies will get firsthand guidance and support from a16z crypto’s investing and operating teams. We connect founders with capital, industry experts across the a16z network, and a cohort of leading web3 teams. a16z CSX also invests a minimum of $500,000 in each company that’s accepted.
The founders in CSX 04 are coming to San Francisco from countries around the world: Canada, France, Germany, South Korea, United Arab Emirates, and across the US.

I know Spring stats don’t mean shit, but it can’t be a *bad* thing for us Brewers fans that Chourio’s hitting .477, Contreras .455, Yelich .320, and Hoskins has 6 HRs

I'm curious: any other industries where the top 3 companies didn't change in 55 years while also growing at least 111x?
