This should go without saying, but yesterday's ninth and 10th innings in NY ...
Don't strike out. Take a walk. Put the ball in play. Advance the runners. Throw strikes. Make the plays.
I don’t care what team you root for, when the camera pans to the family of a player making his MLB debut, it’s incredible stuff every single time.
Alec Gamboa tossed a scoreless ninth inning for the Red Sox tonight, striking out two in his big league debut.
"I saw something on Instagram that someone took a video of me on my phone saying I was locked in. But I was just doomscrolling on TikTok and Instagram reels."

Cam Schlitter's average velocity freshman year of college at Northeastern was 88.8mph. By his junior year, it was 90.4mph.
Last night, it was 98.9mph.
So maybe don't worry if your 15-year-old son isn't already committed to a SEC program?
Jose De Leon in Game 162:
6.2 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 8 Ks
What a cool moment for the regular season finale. The 33 year old had a 6.93 ERA in AAA. Comes up for his first big league action in over two years. Gets a big standing ovation on the way out.
A young man from our state emailed me last night asking if I can help him get used gloves and baseball equipment donations for kids that need them. He has no idea who I am or how many followers I have (not a flex) but I told him I think I’d be able to do that. It’d be nice if the baseball community came together here to pass along any no longer used gloves or equipment to grow our game. This is the young man’s flyer that he and his sister made. I also have his home address if you want to dm me for a place to send items directly. I’d really appreciate you retweeting this for them, I’ll owe you a favor.
