Here’s Yordan Alvarez removing a fan’s teeth in the 2nd deck for a walk off in the playoffs. In India the whole village would turn out for the fan’s funeral. youtu.be/J0Yeb1E9iKY?is=_PtF…
Many American baseball fans disagreed with my last tweet so here's an open challenge to all baseball fans Can anyone name even ONE clutch baseball player who has hit a ball travelling at 90mph ? I can name 4 to 5 clutch cricket players who have done it multiple times
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
MLB four-seam fastballs averaged 94.8 mph in 2026 with thousands of 100+ mph pitches thrown and routinely hit by batters including in World Series and other clutch situations. nbcsandiego.com/mlb/mlb-pitche… espn.com/mlb/story/_/id… sportingnews.com/us/mlb/tampa-b…

Bo Bichette will be staying with the Mets.
Bo Bichette is exercising his $42 million player option for next season and staying with the New York Mets, league sources tell The Athletic. Bichette, 28, holds another player option worth the same amount for 2028. nytimes.com/athletic/7736936…

A lot of comments today about the Brewers not “celebrating enough”. What do y’all want them to do, whip it out and hump eachother?

Completely changed the course of direction for the 1990s @Yankees. Also, one of the best interviews on @ESBPodcast (EP #91) with @therealjleyritz breaking his full at-bat down! #RepBX

Step in the box then guy. Go ahead. Bat is half the size and you can’t move your whole body. Do it
In baseball you know the chucker will throw it exactly in that box (predictably max) Now in cricket just imagine the ball being bowled anywhere from the centre of the pitch hitting your head to your toes with the variables of the pitch.

So Chapman hits 105 MPH stationary, you give him a running crow hop to throw how fast do you think a Chapman or Miz is throwing? They will throw so hard it will literally kill the batter. With protection. It’s not a contest.
I worked with a group of pro cricket players from India a couple years ago Cricket is very very very hard, completely different swing mechanics (duh) and bowlers are legitimately insane Those guys also struggled with 50 mph fastballs that were standard BP for my HS guys/girls

LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cricket fans call this one of the greatest catches of all time but tell me how I’ll see the same shit happen by a dad in the stands of an MLB game with a beer in one hand and his 4 year old toddler sitting next to him 😂

Do people not think that every baseball player who’s ever played stick ball with a broomstick and handball in an asphalt school yard would absolutely dominate cricket?
Average baseball player will piss if they had to catch the balls with their bare hands without gloves
