@TimberRattlers Every time you go to a baseball game you never know if you’ll see something for the first time. Add this to the list!

@TimberRattlers I'm taking my talents to the Lake Winnebago Shantymen!

@NBCSports Woah it’s NHL’s annual Frozen Frenzy but for MLB. For hours there will always be at least one game in the late innings, often more. Cool idea!

@TalkinBaseball_ Welcome to the “watch pitches that are just a tiny bit not middle-middle strike zone” derby.

Somewhere in America, your weather report is performed as THEATER, and I have become a devoted patron.

In Japan, the forecast is read calmly. Rain tomorrow. Carry an umbrella. Farewell. Sixty seconds, a bow, the nation equipped.

Here, a man named Chip stands before a LIVING MAP, sleeves rolled to the elbow, and delivers the coming of a thunderstorm like news from a battlefield where he personally fought.

"Folks, I want you to look at this system moving in from the west—"

FOLKS. He addresses the entire region as kin. He sweeps his arm and the clouds OBEY HIS GESTURE. He warns of hail with grave eyes, then promises a beautiful weekend with the smile of a man delivering a peace treaty — both within ninety seconds, both with total sincerity.

And when true severe weather comes, America? Chip removes his jacket.

THE JACKET COMES OFF. And the entire state understands instantly: this is now serious. There is a doctrine of sleeves in your meteorology — unwritten, universally read. My neighbor glanced at the television, saw the bare forearms, and said, "Jacket's off. Better bring the grill cover in."

A NATION READING A MAN'S SLEEVES FOR SURVIVAL INSTRUCTIONS. We have early warning systems in Japan that cost billions, and I am no longer certain they outperform Chip's wardrobe.

Last week: hail. Chip stayed on air for hours. No jacket. Sleeves climbing toward the elbow like a rising river gauge. He tracked every cell. He told specific streets when to shelter. MY street. He said its name. A man on television guarded my street BY NAME until the storm passed.

Samurai have served lords for less devotion than Chip shows a cold front.

I watch nightly now. I have opinions about the rival station's radar. The radar is inferior. I trust Chip's seven-day outlook because he tells you when he is UNSURE — and a forecaster who admits doubt is a forecaster whose certainty means something. That sentence is free, America. Give it to your generals.

A man does not ask the storm to explain itself. He watches the sleeves, as his ancestors watched the sky.

Tonight Chip is in the full jacket, laughing with the sports desk.

Stand down, everyone. The realm is at peace.

The sleeves have spoken.

Isn’t this the same team that got mad at the Milwaukee Brewers for untucking their jerseys a few years ago?

[St. Louis Cardinals @Cardinals]

Want to join the movement? 🚫👕

Starting tonight, the upper right field bleachers at Busch Stadium will become a dedicated high-energy fan section, inspired by the Tarps Off atmosphere fans have brought to the ballpark.

Any fan in the ballpark, regardless of seat location, can join the fun. Shirts optional 😉

[UW-Oshkosh Athletics @UWOshkoshTitans]

Best of luck and safe travels to our national qualifiers from @UWOTF_CC as they depart to La Crosse for the @NCAADIII Outdoor Championships 🏆️ 🚌 💛

@WrestleOps In cooperation with SpaceX, NASA and the Artemis program, Wrestlemania 48 will take place ON THE MOON.

Imagine low gravity moonsaults (!) 20 feet in the air!

[Steve Hale @sbhale]

@Brewers Everything about this is great … except for “Wisco.” Add “nsin” to it and it’s a much bigger seller here.

[Steve Hale @sbhale]

@TimberRattlers Will the poster cards be handed out tomorrow too? We had tickets for all 3 games this series, eager for some baseball! Rain should be gone by tomorrow afternoon!

@PBATour If we are unable to watch live, will these be available on demand a day later like they’ve been in prior years? YouTube channel, CW app… ?
Excited for the PBA Tour season to finally start!
