BREAKING: As expected, MLB proposed a hard salary cap to union officials today as part of the next CBA, sources tell ESPN. The salary floor for teams beginning in 2027 would be set at $171.2 million which includes player benefits with the ceiling at $245.3 million.

The New York Knicks just played the most dominant 10-game stretch in NBA history, and it's not even remotely close

This was a good day.

5/22/1998 The Mets acquire Mike Piazza from the Marlins for Preston Wilson, Geoff Goetz, and Ed Yarnell. Piazza hit .296 with 220 home runs, won five Silver Slugger Awards, and was a 7x All-Star with New York. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016.

🚨The days after the 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth were probably the worst of the campaign, all the more so because it was before that huge trip to Manchester City that had been weighing over the team for months; the great nemesis that had to be overcome.

A growing problem at that point was not just psychological, though. It was physical. Arsenal’s players looked and felt exhausted.

That was partly because of the schedule, but also Arteta’s own training demands. The Basque’s response to any setback was to work even harder on the training ground. It was an ethic that could be construed as admirable in other circumstances, but not with finely tuned athletes. The effects could be seen in the injury crises endured every April.

So, Eberechi Eze, one of the newer players who was also among the most laid-back, went up to his boss.

In so many words, he told Arteta, we can do this, but we need a bit of space.

The manager listened.

Days off were increased. The intensity of training sessions was lightened. In the week before they claimed the title, he gave them three days off followed by a barbecue.

It all worked out.

Bat tracking - A.J. Ewing's 1st HR

Exit velo: 110.5 mph
Swing length: 6.4 ft (MLB avg. is 7.4 ft)

Since bat tracking started in 2023, only 2 other players have hit a HR that hard w/ a swing that short:

Oneil Cruz, 9/9/24: 113.7 mph/6.4 ft
Corey Seager, 9/4/23: 111.2 mph/6.4 ft

[NephewsPod @NephewsPod]

@_mcameron44 @OleTimeHardball @MLB Why no? Without steroid implications or positive tests, 500 HRs seems pretty bulletproof. Just curious about your opinion!

[NephewsPod @NephewsPod]

@OleTimeHardball @MLB Yes. Same with Stanton and Alonso.

[NephewsPod @NephewsPod]

@notgaetti Agreed when it comes to the gambling. However the statutory rapt allegations may have (and should have (and have)) sunk him.

10 years ago today, the impossible happened.
