It was #OTD in 2015 that Jake Arrieta no hit the Dodgers, striking out 12 batters, including the side in the ninth, and walked only one as the #Cubs won the game 2-0. Jake became the 10th Cub pitcher in franchise history to throw a no hitter.
Players in MLB HISTORY to have 12+ home runs, 6+ stolen bases & 16+ walks in a single calendar month:
Pete Crow-Armstrong - August 2026
Willie Mays - July 1955
Babe Ruth - May 1930, June 1920
That’s it.
@KYwhitey@AmiriKing Yeah I think people that don't like the acting just don't like the cheesiness but that's how people spoke back then I thought Dutch was as accurate as you could get for a pompous narcissistic guy who thought his leadership capabilities were better than they really were.
@AtomIgnites@dom_lucre Not that impressive, he's just shooting himself with ozempic! I don't give this guy credit for anything cuz rich people just use drugs or surgery to lose weight. Or they take three or four weeks off work with a trainer then gain it back. The rest of us don't get that privilege.
@HaloDarknesss@IGN Stop doing that there's a lot of developers right now making crap games with crap woke nonsense in it and they're making all of our characters uglier and those are all decisions by developers so they don't get a pass either!
@RockstarGames Maybe you guys should take a page out of this CD Project Red Playbook and how they just gave a free update to The Witcher 3 and are giving people the expansion packs for free! Have you ever given anything for free? GTA online doesn't count abd we didn't get any DLC with GTA V!
The Brewers are an MLB-best 81-49 despite hitting the fewest home runs in baseball (120). 😲
So how are they doing it?
They lead MLB in OBP (.337) and chase rate (27%), rank second in walk rate (11%) and third in stolen bases (129) and sac bunts (30).
They get on base.
🚨 I’M DONE SUGARCOATING WHAT I’M WATCHING WITH THE INDIANA FEVER. 🚨
Some people are going to HATE this, but after Fever-Liberty, somebody needs to say it:
1. ALIYAH BOSTON — THIS IS NOT MAX-PLAYER BASKETBALL.
The interior defense has been ATROCIOUS. Bigs are catching the ball underneath the damn rim. Add the missed bunnies, shaky footwork and rebounds slipping away — what exactly are we paying max money for? THE STANDARD HAS TO BE HIGHER.
2. STEPHANIE WHITE’S 2-3 ZONE WAS COACHING MALPRACTICE.
New York puts FOUR dangerous shooters on the floor and Indiana decides to sit in a ZONE?! Then watches THREE AFTER THREE AFTER THREE drop and STAYS IN IT.
SIX THREES AND YOU STILL DON’T CHANGE THE DAMN DEFENSE?! WHAT ARE WE PRACTICING?!
3. THE KELSEY MITCHELL OFFENSE IS BECOMING PAINFUL TO WATCH.
Too many possessions are turning into dribble… dribble… dribble… head down… shot. The extra pass disappears. The ball movement dies. Everybody looks like they’re hunting THEIR offense instead of THE offense.
And now for the part that’s REALLY going to piss people off:
4. THE FEVER ARE TURNING CAITLIN CLARK INTO A ROLE PLAYER BECAUSE EVERYBODY SEEMS DETERMINED TO PROVE THIS ISN’T HER TEAM.
I’m calling what I SEE.
You have arguably the most dangerous playmaker in basketball STANDING IN THE CORNER while everybody else gets to audition for lead guard.
Clark finally hits TWO STRAIGHT SHOTS and starts cooking?
SUBBED OUT.
Indiana is within one possession when she leaves. She comes back minutes later and they’re DOWN NINE.
HOW MANY TIMES DOES THE SAME DAMN LESSON HAVE TO BE TAUGHT?!
And I’m going there: THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE AN INTERNAL POWER STRUGGLE ON THE COURT.
I can’t tell you what Boston, Mitchell or anybody else personally feels about Clark — none of us are in that locker room — but the basketball is giving off a TERRIBLE perception: everybody wants to prove their importance instead of accepting the obvious.
CAITLIN CLARK IS THE ENGINE.
That doesn’t diminish Boston.
That doesn’t diminish Mitchell.
It should make THEIR JOBS EASIER.
But instead of building around Clark’s gravity and playmaking, Indiana keeps finding new ways to minimize it.
THIS TEAM DOESN’T HAVE A TALENT PROBLEM.
🔥 IT HAS AN IDENTITY PROBLEM.
🔥 IT HAS A COACHING PROBLEM.
🔥 IT HAS AN ACCOUNTABILITY PROBLEM.
And until everybody accepts their role and starts playing complementary basketball instead of MY-TURN-YOUR-TURN basketball, the Fever are going to keep wasting one of the biggest advantages in the entire WNBA.
CALL A SPADE A SPADE. THIS IS A MESS.
Everybody complaining about the final pitch, this was worst, easily should have been strike 3 to end the 2nd
Thissen needed 7 extra pitches. Cost the kid a chance at a complete game no hitter
X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST (2014) has one of the hardest openings in superhero cinema. The X-Men fighting for their lives against the Sentinels, Blink opening portals, Bishop going full Terminator mode… the movie knew exactly how to make you want more.
It was #OTD in 1989 that Jerome Walton’s hitting streak reached 30 consecutive games with a soft one-hopper to short that he beat out for an infield single in a game against the Houston Astros. The streak started on July 21st against the Giants and ended on August 21st when Walton went 0 for 4 in a 6–5, 10-inning loss to the Reds. Walton’s streak is still the longest in the modern era of #Cubs history. It surpassed the previous modern-era Cubs record of 28 games set by Ron Santo in 1966.
"I don't think it's particularly close. It's not a legacy debate... This is a regular season award. PCA - speed, power, everything - it all starts with him."
