Tell me this man won’t get 20+ hr if he gets the at bats this year

#STLCards say they’re certain Pujols will be ready to roll for the start of the regular season. He’s been working out, doing hitting drills. I’ll let you all judge the physique, but here he is.

[Matt Miller @MattyMillz85]

I miss the big putts being holed with Scotty. Get this thing off the shelf immediately please

[Zach Pressnell @zpretzel]

Two things can be true:

1. The fan should NOT have reached over the wall to catch this. We’ll never know if it would have bounced over, etc

2. The Reds lost this game because of their own mistakes (not scoring leadoff 2Bs, etc) NOT because of the fan

There was a time

[Nati Sports @Nati_Sports]

The old man is way, way, way too loyal to some of these guys man

Starting to become the definition of insanity

If you’re going to keep using Emilio Pagan it can’t be in the 9th. Idc what he’s making.

[Brandon Phillips @DatDudeBP]

My career included stops in other cities and I loved my time with those clubs. But for me, y’all know DAMN well Cincinnati is my HOME. I love the city, my teammates, especially the FANS. I can finally say, I’m a RED4LIFE!💯🫡 #RedsCountry

The new ABS system has us wondering…

What if Joey Votto had ABS?

Here’s ten pitches from the Statcast era starting in 2015 that were egregious called third strikes and were out of his zone

From 2015-2023, he had 77 Ks that were on called third strikes outside of his zone

[BigBobsCards @BigBobsCards]

This has to be the most unreal one of these ever.

[Game 7 @game7__]

Gary Woodland is the anti-Tiger Woods in every possible way.

Allow me to explain why.

Gary Woodland just won the Houston Open by five shots.

Two and a half years ago, doctors cut a baseball-sized hole in his skull to remove a brain lesion.

He spent two nights in the ICU.

There was a real chance he would wake up paralyzed.

This is the best comeback story in golf right now and it's not even close.

The full story behind today is insane.

In 2019, Gary Woodland won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.

He finished 13-under and beat Brooks Koepka by three strokes.

At that point, Woodland had four PGA Tour wins including a major, and was ranked 12th in the world.

Then everything slowly fell apart.

After the 2023 Masters, Woodland became consumed by fear.

Not regular nerves.

Actual, debilitating terror.

He was afraid he was going to die.

Afraid something was going to happen to his kids.

Afraid of falling to his death in his sleep.

At the Memorial Tournament in June 2023, he woke up in his hotel room and clung to the mattress for an hour.

He was convinced that if he let go, he would fall.

His hands were trembling.

He had no appetite.

Spasms would jolt him awake at night.

He was losing focus over putts.

Forgetting what club he was holding mid-swing.

An MRI finally revealed the cause.

A lesion was growing on his brain.

It was pressing directly on the part of his brain that controls fear and anxiety.

Think about that.

The thing responsible for every irrational terror he was experiencing had a physical, medical explanation.

His brain was literally being pressed into a constant state of fear.

In September 2023, Woodland had a craniotomy.

Surgeons removed as much of the lesion as they could, roughly half, because it was pressed against the optic tract of his left eye.

They cut off blood supply to the rest to try to stop it from growing.

He walked out of the hospital two days later.

Started putting again two days after that.

He came back to the PGA Tour in January 2024 at the Sony Open.

But he was nowhere near the same player.

In 26 starts during 2024, he had three top-25 finishes.

His best was a tie for ninth at the Shriners Children's Open.

For a former U.S. Open champion, those are survival numbers.

And nobody knew the full extent of what he was dealing with.

Because on top of the brain surgery and the recovery, Woodland had been diagnosed with PTSD.

He kept it hidden for over a year.

He described being hypervigilant on the course.

A walking scorer once got too close from behind and startled him so badly that his vision went blurry and he forgot where he was.

He would go into bathrooms between holes and cry.

He would break down in the scoring trailer after rounds.

He would sprint to his car in the parking lot just to hide it from everyone.

He said he felt like he was living a lie.

Spending so much energy pretending to be okay that he had nothing left for the actual golf.

On March 9, three weeks before this Houston Open, Woodland finally told the truth publicly.

He sat down with Golf Channel's Rex Hoggard and revealed everything.

The PTSD.

The crying.

The fear.

All of it.

He said after that interview it felt like a thousand pounds had been lifted off his back.

Then he showed up at Memorial Park.

He opened with a 64.

Then a 63.

Then a 65.

Then a 67 on Sunday to close it out.

259 total.

A tournament record.

21-under par.

Five strokes clear of Nicolai Højgaard.

Wire to wire.

Led every single round.

His first win since the 2019 U.S. Open.

Nearly seven years between victories.

Brain surgery, PTSD, two years of hiding in bathrooms between holes, and a thousand pounds of weight he was carrying that nobody could see.

This is a guy who was a basketball player first.

He grew up in Topeka, Kansas, won state basketball titles at Shawnee Heights High School, and played a year of college basketball at Washburn before he realized golf was his future.

He won the Courage Award from the PGA Tour in 2025.

The seventh player to ever receive it.

And now, at 41 years old, with titanium plates holding his skull together, he walked into Memorial Park three weeks after telling the world the truth about what he had been going through and played the best golf of the entire field for four straight days.

The full breakdown of Woodland's career, the surgery, the PTSD, and how he got to this point is here:

There is a reason this one hits different.

Comeback stories in sports usually involve torn ACLs or shoulder surgeries.

Things you can see.

Things that heal on a timeline.

Woodland's comeback was from something that rewired his brain.

Something that turned his own mind against him.

And the hardest part of his recovery wasn't physical.

It was admitting to the people around him that he wasn't okay.

Three weeks ago he said the words out loud.

Today he won a golf tournament by five shots.

Min Woo Lee hyping up the crowd as Gary Woodland takes the winner’s walk up 18.

What an awesome moment.

[HubertsBurner @UNCballTalk]

All jokes aside, I truly hope the best for Hubert Davis and his family in life and if he decides to pursue another HC Job.

Nobody can take away a man’s character and morals.

Hubert was a great man, just not the right coach for UNC.

GO HEELS 🩵🐏

[zach @sargentzm_]

i may have wanted him gone, but i will never forget the run in 22❤️‍🩹

[Tate Frazier @tatefrazier]

Carolina beat Duke, Kentucky, and Kansas this season, has reached a national championship game and won one more recently than Duke and Kentucky, and holds the records for most NCAA tournament wins and Final Four appearances

[Andrew Forrest @Andrew_Forrest1]

The real reason the majority (not a faction) of the fan base wants him fired is because…

-20-40 in quad 1 games
-Only higher than a 6 seed once in five years
-A consistent failure to play a full 40 minutes against good teams
-Missing the tournament or losing first round in 60% of his seasons

No matter how you cut it, that’s not good enough at UNC.

[♛Young Simba♛ (A Leaky Black Stan Account) @CrownedPrinceHC]

We were up 19

[UNC Barstool @UNCBarstool]

Don’t want to be that guy, but if we lose, surely Hubert is gone. Right?

[Adam Kessel @Adam_Kessel1]

Siena’s Iron 5 to duke’s $10M roster

[John @iam_johnw]

Duke playing zone against a 16 seed because they can’t guard anyone is nasty work

[PSU Everything @PSU_Strong]

Mason Miller is the best arm in your pen, the game is tied. Venezuela wasn’t allowed to use their closer unless it was actually a save, incredibly good odds you win that game in the bottom of the 9th against some scrub pitcher. Shameful decision by DeRosa. Ruined an epic Harper moment.

[Cincinnati Reds @Reds]

Love this man so much
