🚨 BREAKING:

​Cristiano Ronaldo:

​"Even if I win the World Cup, I won't be higher than I am, and even if I don't win, I won't be any less.

​Praise be to God, I lack nothing. God has been very generous to me."

Potential lead changing plate appearances—those in which a player can give his team—per-team, per-season, since 2022 (implementation of the Universal DH):

Total PLC plate appearances:
- Batting 1st: 224.7 (+10.25%)

Add to this the fact that the leadoff spot is 15.2% more likely to have an opportunity to make the final out of a ballgame, and there is not a single situation in which a team is better off by hitting their best hitter third.

Stop batting your best hitter third. Stop treating the lineup like a line segment... it is operates best as a circle.

Dawg is that Dillon Brooks playing a game of “Operation” where you have to steal the ball from SGA without being called for a foul 😭

Shout out to Venezuela…earned that from the jump putting on a clinic most of the game and then an immediate response after 2-2. USA just couldn’t get the bats going. Incredible WBC from start to finish 🙌🏾🏆
