The Falcons put 7 OL on the field on 4th/1 to add the beef necessary to win short yardage, and Josiah Trotter simply blasted the offensive lineman-playing-fullback in the mouth and Anthony Nelson shed the extra tackle's block for the stop

Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski says "no update" on Michael Penix Jr. to @squidbilly929, @MPJohnson79 & @AliMacRadio. "We're not there yet," in terms of Penix being cleared for team drills.

It feels almost inexplicable that Corey Heim could win a race as a part-time Cup driver before his rookie season begins, let alone TWO, let alone two HUGE races including a crown jewel!
And yet...he's 27 laps away. But Bell is going to make it very, very difficult.

THANK YOU!!!!!
Where did the athletic ability go?
Clutch hitting in the 8th and 9th inning?
Starting pitching that goes 8 or 9 innings?
Base stealing-hell just good base running and SPEED?!?
Sac bunts-moving runners over late in a game?
Where’s Tony Gwynn? Rod Carew?
Wade Boggs? Ichiro?
Those guys wouldn’t exist in today’s ridiculous HR or K “launch angle” game!
The game has been dying with the youth of America for YEARS and now is losing the core fanbase as well with this ridiculous product we’ve had to digest for the last 7-10 years.
Bring back Small Ball and athleticism…this shit dreadful!!!
JORGE POSADA: “I CAN’T WATCH TODAY’S BASEBALL.”
Yankees legend Jorge Posada, a 4-time World Series champion and one of the faces of the dynasty years, (The Core 4) did not hold back during his interview on Abriendo El Podcast.
Posada said today’s game has become too robotic, too obsessed with formulas, and too accepting of strikeouts.
“The baseball being played today is garbage,” Posada said.
He also pushed back hard on the analytics crowd trying to judge Derek Jeter’s defense strictly through modern numbers.
“You can’t judge Jeter through a computer.”
That line right there is pure old-school Yankees.
Posada came from an era where putting the ball in play mattered. Moving runners mattered. Taking pride in not striking out mattered. He said back then, striking out 100 times in a season felt like you were not doing your job.
Now? Guys can strike out constantly, hit 30 home runs, bat .202, and still get paid like stars.
His message was simple:
The game got smarter on paper, but dumber between the lines. #yankees #repbx

MLB stolen bases totaled 3,617 in 2024 (most since 1915) and 3,440 in 2025. Attendance increased for the third straight year to 71.4 million in 2025. mlb.com/news/mlb-stole… baseball-reference.com/leagues/majors… mlb.com/news/mlb-incre…

Funny and diabolical moment from the Reds game earlier today.
This kid wanted the ball so his dad held him by the feet to try to get it until security quickly said absolutely not.
🤣🤣🤣

This is a non-story for me but Byrdie was upset last night when he found out some took his sign off after his Yaz interview as insulting to the player. He and I were talking past midnight last night working through it. He felt terrible. Yaz wasn't offended, quite the opposite. You'll see that by the sign of affection he gave Byrdie at the end of the interview and what you'll hear Byrdie share in the video below.
Byrdie is a champion of players and wants to bring their stories to you with the greatest appreciation and perspective that he can. That is what last night was. Byride is not on social media but he wanted to share his thoughts with Braves Country. He is a sweetheart of man, friend and teammate, we are lucky to have him.

This Cleveland Guardians fan didn’t catch the foul ball and spilled his drink all over the woman next to him — and her nachos 😭
Not the double error 💀
