@PavlovicNBCS In my opinion, the previous year, or at least the 2nd half, should also be considered, not just the first half of the current year. Webb led the league in innings & Ks and won a Gold Glove last year. He’s deserving.

@EvanWebeck @AndyKHLiu @capostsports Relievers “walked or hit the first batter they faced 46 times”—wonder what the stat is if you add giving up hits to the first batter. I remember Erik Miller recently giving up a 3-run homer to the first batter, Hentges a bases-clearing double in Roupp’s game this week, and so on.

@BethMooreLPM @nyknicks I’m old enough to remember when we dressed up for church, and I understand that ship sailed long ago, but I still find myself a bit surprised when someone wears their 49ers jersey (or whatever team they prefer) to church on gameday (=Sunday).

@Tr1plesAlley “No regrets” and “it’s Monday morning quarterbacking”—about not getting a closer or bolstering the bullpen.

[Dr. Dana Ferris @leftydana]

@BaseballJeff1 Buster was gaslighting when he kept saying “Edwin Diaz” to @knbrmurph. There’s a lot of space between Edwin Diaz and “nothing.”

@PavlovicNBCS Don’t forget shut out twice and held to one run twice

[Dr. Dana Ferris @leftydana]

@BenKaspick I’ve been at two games myself where Bailey had the walk-off hit: home opener in 2024, and on Brandon Crawford Day in 2025. Along with the two big homers, he had three walk-off hits just last year.

[Dr. Dana Ferris @leftydana]

@GiantHotTakes He’s caught Ray’s last two starts, both wins—I guess it’s not that surprising, but I’m happy about it, too.

@slubman59 I’m booing here in my living room

[Dr. Dana Ferris @leftydana]

@SentThisAlready @trumanation_ I was at that game, too. Figured the umpire’s bar bill was high last night after going 0-7 in front of 40K people. 🤯

[Dr. Dana Ferris @leftydana]

@PavlovicNBCS Was just saying that. He’s been optioned. Does he have to stay in AAA for
10 days even though the season hasn’t started yet?

[Dr. Dana Ferris @leftydana]

@mattnightingale It’s fantastic.

[Dr. Dana Ferris @leftydana]

@PavlovicNBCS I didn’t see this until I was in the park and left the book back in the room. I’ll catch up with you another time. Thanks!

[Dr. Dana Ferris @leftydana]

@PavlovicNBCS Hi Alex! Are you back in Scottsdale? I’ll be at the games today and tomorrow and would love to get my book signed…

@jamestalarico Full interview. https://t.co/ERcShQOC4Q

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

@russhjelm @mattnightingale @downi75 My 84-year-old mom hates football but wanted us to text her when to turn the TV on for Bad Bunny. 😂

[Dr. Dana Ferris @leftydana]

@keelyismyname Was there. Wearing my shirt today for Sam and the others. ✌️

[ᗰᗩƳᖇᗩ @LePapillonBlu2]

Did you know that Bad Bunny has a nonprofit foundation called Good Bunny that empowers underserved children and youth in PR through music, arts, and sports?

Cause now you do!

Talented and kind? The real deal. 🐰

@TrojanFBx I’m wearing my Pac 12 Championship shirt from 2017 in honor of Sam today. We were at the game, and it was at Levi’s. ✌️
