@RedSoxYapper As a Melby Sox fan I’ve been streaming for free off sportsbet. Do you think the $200 is worth it for mlb?

Tell ‘em, Connor 🥹 ⬇️

At the end the game, as fans were leaving the Tokyo Dome, starting pitcher Connor MacDonald was the last to leave the field.

He was standing there alone, staring at the scoreboard, soaking it in. He looked proud.

This social media writer went to ask Connor how he was feeling. This is what he said.

Thought it may be appropriate to post the whole quote. Take it away, Connor…

“Oh, I don’t really even know how to describe it, mate.

I’m just proud, proud of all my teammates. I’m just proud to be Australian.

[One of my] brothers bought a flight yesterday to come over to see this. And, like…my family’s everything to me. My wife and two boys are here, my mum and dad, my brothers are here, my uncle, my sister-in-law.

It was so close to a fairytale. So close.

I’ll tell you what, mate. I’m sick and tired hearing back home that when you tell someone that we play baseball, that people are shocked and say ‘Oh, we play baseball in Australia?”

I mean, we do.

Look, we freaking out-hit the best team in the world. We led through 6 innings and we still get asked if we play baseball in Australia.

My freaking teammates, man…I’m just so proud to be a part of the Australian baseball community. You know, we punch so much about our weight.

So just tonight, I’m going to remember for the rest of my life.

And tomorrow’s the day, right? Like that’s the big game.

It’s bittersweet because we lost by one run to the best team in the world but we also should take pride in the fact we could have beat them.

So, I think the boys are just going to take that punch and use that for confidence tomorrow.”

COOPER WOODS!! 🥇

The 25-year-old gets Australia's first medal of #MilanoCortina2026 after an epic day on the Moguls and it is GOLD.

Finished equal first with a score of 83.71.

Matt Graham finished 5th and Jackson Harvey in 8th!

@AustralianOpen @newbalance @NewBalanceAU @Jomboy_ this is right up your alley

[Matt Bevan @MatthewBevan]

Australia: Spends 6 months debating who’s going to open the batting in the Boxing Day #Ashes Test

Also Australia: Travis Head and Scott Boland opening the batting on Boxing Day

[Jimmy O'Brien @Jomboy_]

Fixing the Snicko problem in cricket is very simple

[Hugo Carson @HugoCarson5]

@White_Adam Surely home deck gives him a slight advantage over rocchiccioli? Another Victorian playing on Boxing Day would be fantastic.

[Hugo Carson @HugoCarson5]

@RicFinlay going to be a big match for Nathan Lyon.
Given the progression of Australian pitches over the last few years I’d love to know his average overs per match before and after the previous ashes series in Aus. Bowling average as well would be great!

[Swamp @sirswampthing]

ENG improve from trailing by 44 runs at the close of day 2 to only trailing by 43 runs at the close of day 3

#AUSvENG

[Jarrod Kimber @ajarrodkimber]

Scott Boland faced 72 balls today.

No England batter has managed 60.

[Hugo Carson @HugoCarson5]

Based on how tired Starc was and knowing his propensity to fatigue in long series here’s my series bowling map:

Adelaide: Cummins, Lyon in - Boland, Neser out
Melbourne: Boland in - Starc out
Sydney: Starc in - Doggett out

Hazlewood plays when fit.

Always gonna happen

[Hugo Carson @HugoCarson5]

The Joe root hundred drought is over, this is a road and he’s too good a bat to not convert. #Ashes
