@jesseagler Bonus question, re: this game: How often have we seen a game where the replay reviews outnumber the ABS challenges?

This is a rocket launch spectacle advisory for Wednesday night. SpaceX launching out of Vandenberg at about the right time for a good show. Keep updated on launch time here https://t.co/8IH4Lz5v7b

@jesseagler I just saw this and immediately thought of your Oriole orange sky comment from Friday's game.

Holy cow! This may be the weather photo of the year.

Double rainbow, orange sky over Nationals Park Friday evening.

Absolutely amazing capture by Alex Warofka

@Ten_Tanker Great to see you guys back in the air, fire or not

[Michael Williams @QuickBurn619]

@andyvsd @AJCassavell Mrs X marked the spot for him..

[Michael Williams @QuickBurn619]

I was taking a passenger home after the evacs were lifted. Turns out his street was in the tanker drop zone. It was...interesting... to drive on a red road. But I bet @FirePhotoGirl has more experience with that lol

[SDFD @SDFD]

#SorrentoFire [Update]: all evacuation orders and warnings have been lifted. Brush Rig and Engine crews will remain in the area overnight to monitor for hot spots and any other needs.

@SlangsOnSports Miller's 103 was the K that ended the game.

[Michael Williams @QuickBurn619]

@DanielFireTruck No such thing as a Ford Pro. Someone messed up there.

[Michael Williams @QuickBurn619]

@HeidiWatney I thought losing Biffle was a shock.. this was so much more.

[Michael Williams @QuickBurn619]

@Ten_Tanker I'd say go ahead and throw it down to SBD... it's getting real here in SoCal.

[Michael Williams @QuickBurn619]

@ReedTimmerUSA It sounded decent on Max's feed as you passed him in KS.. but then on the St Libory storm I heard something very weird. Like maybe trans or a dry torque converter..

[Michael Williams @QuickBurn619]

@RFKracing At least you didn't need the toe truck. I'll show myself out.

[Michael Williams @QuickBurn619]

Here's how to make me listen to more games on the radio. I hope Don & Mud enjoy their days off.

[San Diego Padres @Padres]

Here's how to watch this weekend's four-game series:

@Andy_Masur1 Seems to go right along with another lost art: The CG. Have we had one in '26 yet?

[Michael Williams @QuickBurn619]

@TooMuchMortons_ Griffin Canning also saw a start in ABQ today. 5 IP, 3H, 1 UNearned run, 1 BB, 4 k, gets the win on 68 pitches at 5300'... is it time?

[Michael Williams @QuickBurn619]

@TooMuchMortons_ @MLBdream He's got 3 off Gallen... could be the day.

@YourOtherMom If it's piss, you should probably drink more water.

@SieraSantos Unlike ERA or FIP, SIERA evaluates how different batted balls affect a pitcher's skill, making it highly predictive of future performance. (2/2)

[Michael Williams @QuickBurn619]

@SieraSantos Skill-interactive Earned Run Average (SIERA) is an advanced pitching statistic that measures a pitcher's performance by eliminating factors they cannot control (defense, luck, park effects) while accounting for the quality of contact (ground balls vs. fly balls). (1/2)

@sandiegowavefc Aw there's Naomi. Kinda miss her.
