this rules the italian shortstop diving and acting like it’s a grounder was both hilarious and incredibly effective

I missed that the Italy HR celebration also includes putting on a chic little jacket

As your friendly local Chaos Whisperer I feel it's important to point out the little note at the bottom that going to extra innings changes everything

My favorite part is the little note at the bottom that going to extra innings changes everything

This but also a less secret fourth thing (Jac Caglianone's thighs).

I don't see the problem

Chart that shows the secret third thing. It's a grid that uses flag emojis to show who advances based on scores from 1-0 to 11-10 and I've highlighted a limited scenario where Mexico beats Italy in a low-scoring game (scores ranging from 1-0, to 4-3) which allows both these teams to advance.

I yell a lot about how players should not play through, but yeah, playing hurt is valorized when they succeed. So they keep trying it even when resting and healing would be better.

I think there is something to explore that many nations at the WBC have come showing what they love about their country (dancing, celebration, tradition) to represent the people while the American team has shown up representing and only celebrating the military

Re supposed end of the Target boycott: it’s 100% bullshit. See statement below from an *actual* leader of the initial DEI boycott.

Even if true (to repeat, it’s not!), it’s not up to any small group. Target has fixed nothing + compounded its DEI sins with ICE complicity. People are done with it!
