“Just keep his head up. He just got caught up in the moment a little bit. Coming down the stretch there, he pitched so well for us. I feel for him because he's putting it all on his shoulders. But we win as a team and we lose as a team.”

[Josh Reynolds @JoshReynolds24]

Legitimately, what are we doing here @MLB?

This no call is the single reason the Dodgers even put a run on the board this inning. Not even exaggerating it changed the complete trajectory of this game. An absolute joke.

[Brendan McHugh @bmchugh427]

The reasons the Phillies lost are many and bountiful. They include, among others, intentionally walking Shohei, swinging at pitches that were balls, and failing to generate offense. Will remember the Kerkering blunder, but I actually thank him for putting me out of my misery.

[Brendan McHugh @bmchugh427]

@Kevin_Coghill Yupp. With some caveats about how long you can be underwater.

[Brendan McHugh @bmchugh427]

@Braden_Keith Why would three versus two change the accessibility? It would, in fact, make the best meet in the world more accessible. Not sure I follow the intensity argument either. I think the 100/200 finals are most intense and majority of final makes the team.

[Brendan McHugh @bmchugh427]

@JamesSeltzer or a guy named Phelps. But that would be under slightly different criteria for dominance.

[Brendan McHugh @bmchugh427]

@JamesSeltzer look up the top 50 times in the women’s 1500 free - I think Ledecky has the top 25 and, as a percentage from 2nd fastest woman ever, is pretty grossly dominant. As a big sports fan, only better answer I can think of in my life is Tiger Woods.

[Brendan McHugh @bmchugh427]

At 35, Kimbrel can’t go on long walks on back to back days anymore, let alone pitch. That one is on Topper.

[Brendan McHugh @bmchugh427]

@thomasolik @TheGreatCapsby He’s actually pretty legit from what I saw playing the past few years.

Someone get Joel a little pre-workout at halftime!

I hope my 5-month olds first words include an expletive followed by “Scott Foster”

[Braden Keith @Braden_Keith]

Did you know: in 1924, 1932, and from 1934-1962, most of the NCAA Championship meet was raced in yards...except for the 1500 meter free, which was sometimes in long course and sometimes in short course.

The NCAA Record holder in the 1500 long course free is George Breen, who was a regular commenter on SwimSwam before his passing in 2019 at age 84.

@AppleTVPlus really? Mid-episode if Ted Lasso and I was done dirty. #fixit #now

[Eagles Nation @PHLEaglesNation]

Good Morning to everyone except Juju Smith-Schuster.

[Merrill Reese @mreeseeagles]

Frustrating. A painful end to a great season. The holding call was marginal but the scoop and score and the Chiefs’ 65 yard punt return were killers. The Eagles have a bright future with an elite young QB, an excellent coach, and an owner who provides the right
kind of support.

[Brendan McHugh @bmchugh427]

That grass and that call were just . . . Bad.

[Brendan McHugh @bmchugh427]

I really can’t wait until @JalenHurts has this taped on the inside of his locker tomorrow. Poor taste ESPN. You paying the refs too?

[Richard Sherman @RSherman_25]

They ruined it again

[LeBron James @KingJames]

His hand on his back had no effect on his route! This game was too damn good for that call to dictate the outcome at the end. Damn! By the way I have no horse in the race. Just my professional opinion

[LeBron James @KingJames]

Sorry but I don’t like that call! Not for the Super Bowl man! 🤦🏾‍♂️
