Just about 10% off average NFL wildcard numbers. Big, big numbers.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have quickly become Japan’s favorite team. This was worth $100 million last year — the Dodgers ran out of ad inventory so fast that Japanese brands started buying ads for away games — and could be worth billions long-term. WATCH: youtu.be/3_lgDOPrM6M

who cut the onions? 🥹

Ryan Pepiot had an abbreviated outing today as he was named the Rays Opening Day starter He flashed his full mix as he struck out 3 in 2.0 IP

Will Warren has made the Yankees opening day roster! Warren dominated this Spring with a revamped arsenal and better feel for his changeup and sinker. He will slot into the Yankees rotation and provide some well needed reinforcements. He has a stuff to be solid this season!

Lol

The call up. #BuiltForThis

Shelby Miller looked incredible today as he struck out 3 in 2.0 IP Miller revamped his pitch shapes and they all look stunning. His fastball had a ton of ride from his low slot and his splitter exhibited incredible separation. This is the blueprint for an elite RP!

Lawrence Stroll recently built a new yacht in the Netherlands and it was a TIGHT squeeze getting it out to sea

Yes, the Yankees have a literal genius MIT Physicist, Lenny (who is the man), on payroll. He invented the “Torpedo” barrel. It brings more wood - and mass - to where you most often make contact as a hitter. The idea is to increase the number of “barrels” and decrease misses.

my physics simulations confirm, jazz’s sweet spot is in fact shifted down from normal, but it’s nothing crazy! certainly not game breaking.

⚾️🌬️ I’m genuinely interested in the outcome of the Yankee game today. A lot of talk about the new bat shape led to an explosion of Yankee HR’s yesterday (and maybe it did), but it was also 10/10 hitting weather. If they pop off again today in THIS weather, IT’S THE BATS!

That boy Geno locked in 🔥🔥🔥

*The* Adam Ottavino hopping into my substack to talk ball (literally). 👀 Great nugget on the ball's inconsistency in 2023 below. Have had multiple people speculate to me the 2025 ball is different in the last 24h. Others skeptical. Data ... doesn't support a difference? 🤷‍♂️

JUST IN: The D-backs have revealed their new City Connect uniform 🐍
