Could not find the old baseball writing thread, but this is a good read.

The collapse video is good to watch, it almost looks like a different game. Gene Garber in his third inning of relief rolls through the entire collapse. There would have been like 7 pitching changes now.

Sorry. The answer is: "The exhilarating tension between being and becoming." Being and becoming.
An ode to baseball: "One can throw a baseball just about anywhere, and all you need is another willing participant. Few accessories are required—no yoga pants, no air conditioning, no mat. Just a ball, two gloves, and God’s earth." https://t.co/t049C3L9uw— The American Conservative (@amconmag) June 29, 2019

Josh Bell has as many HRs in the last 24 hours than the top 4 in WAR (Mike Trout, Christian Yelich, Jose Polanco & Cody Bellinger) have combined to hit over the last EIGHT days.

In a truly unexpected development, the Orioles, having had to use expected spot starter Gabriel Ynoa in a 16-4 loss last night, go with a committee of recent callups and crappy long-relief scrubs and get a... 3-hitter which they win 2-1? And John Means, the one good pitcher on the team, in to pitch the rubber game tonight.
