This view of Dansby Swanson’s
diving play is absolutely insane.

We need more of this.

How are they doing that? Drones?

Max Scherzer tells us that his thumb is giving him problems again after hitting the 50-pitch mark.

Scherzer spoke about how critical the thumb is to a pitcher's arm health, citing 2023 and 2024 as examples where a similar issue led to other injuries elsewhere. #BlueJays

Couldn't even make it to opening day before he got hurt

Shows the difference between him and the greats...Nolan was getting a blister his middle finger. He would get it lanced, soak it in pickle brine, and throw 150+ pitches and a complete game in his next start.

There is an even better one about Pete and Nolan told by Mike Schmidt in Nolan's book Throwing Heat. In the book, Nolan was talking about how a few weeks after the season he couldn't even remember what his W-L record was. But he said Pete Rose was a fanatic for stats and so forth. I forget which milestone Pete was going for, but when asked by somebody in the media when he thought he would get it, he said "It will probably be on such and such night, against Nolan Ryan". Well, that day came and Pete needed 3 hits and lo and behold he was set to face Nolan that game. He got hits the first two at bats, and Nolan got determined that there was no way Pete was going to get a hit off of him to achieve the milestone. He struck him out every time he faced him for the rest of the game, and the next day the players strike started. Pete had to wait until play resumed weeks later and the first game they played was the All Star Game. Pete and Mike Schmidt were in the clubhouse when Nolan walked in. Mike said "Hey Pete, your buddy Nolan is here!". Pete turned and looked, then flipped him off and turned back around. He hadn't forgotten for a second who had made him wait to get that milestone.

I want TX to get a 3rd team. San Antonio or Austin could work.

I can't see either us or the Rangers letting that happen. Even with TV stuff being so fractured it's still better than losing the market in totality.

I believe that was in 1981. I remember that. Never gets the recognition like Bird vs Magic and some other great on great duels. If memory serves, Ryan threw nothing but fastballs after the first 2 hits. I think it was to tie Musial's National League career hits record, btw.
