ALCS Game 4, Nick Martinez starts for the Rays vs Shawn Armstrong for the Guardians, who are up 2-1 in the series.
Clean sky on a 9C day after rain washed out the game last night.
It’s over. The Brewers completely outplayed the Dodgers in the NLCS. Better pitching. Better hitting. Better fielding. The Brewers are the best team in the National League. They’re heading to the World Series for the first time since 1982 in search of their 1st ever championship
I am currently revising/updating a 10th anniversary edition of "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" and think Chapter 2 may be the best thing I've ever written in my career.
Chapters 3 and 4... not so much. 😂
Dr. Kelly Starrett has a simple philosophy. We should train to live, not live to train.
He's helped athletes, teams, and everyday people build bodies that can handle the real demands of life.
In this episode, Kelly (@thereadystate) breaks down how to think about pain, mobility, warmups, breathwork, recovery, and movement in a way that is practical, durable, and built for real life.
We even get into youth sports—why so many kids burn out, why sleep and fueling are foundational for young athletes, why early specialization can backfire, and why play, broad movement skills, and better coaching may be the missing pieces in developing healthy, durable kids.
If you want a more practical framework for lifelong performance, this is an episode you do not want to miss.

The Blue Jays bused from Phoenix to Anaheim yesterday because their plane had mechanical issues.
Players voted to bus rather than wait for another plane to arrive, but manager John Schneider said he was still "reprimanded by Max (Scherzer) for electing to travel that way," receiving a formal Kangaroo Court summons.
"We're going to go to trial," said Schneider.
I would get a detention if I was late for home room morning “check in” so I would get marked absent but go to all my classes to avoid afterschool detention.
All went well for Dylan Cease today in a 2-inning live BP
Meanwhile Trey Yesavage pitched 1 inning. With 3 weeks before opening day & the Blue Jays talking about a deliberate ramp-up, Yesavage may be a 3-4 inning pitcher to start

Players on new teams can feel "isolated and lonely."
But whether it's a handshake with Vlad Jr. or Myles Straw trying to speak a little Japanese Kazuma Okamoto's Blue Jays teammates are welcoming him. "Just to get a smile out of him is a good feeling." https://t.co/UVPebgrdf6
ALCS pits the Blue Jays against the Mariners, who beat the Tigers 3-2 on a Jorge Polanco single in the 15th to end a remarkable Game 5.
Lots of attrition for Seattle, which had to use starters Logan Gilbert and Luis Castillo out of the bullpen to outlast Detroit.
