WNBA superstar Clark on Judge: ‘He’s pretty swole’

Caitlin Clark donned the pinstripes while visiting Yankee Stadium and snapped a must-see pic with Aaron Judge. “He’s way bigger than people even think,” Clark said. “… He’s like double my height.”

Ok, let’s do it the hard way.

Rafael Devers is one of the most annoying players in MLB for me. His leadoff double is yet more proof.

Ok, two down. No one breathe…

Ponche!!

The only 2 pitchers to strike out 38 batters in any 3-game span of the last 4 MLB seasons are Jacob deGrom and Spencer Arrighetti.

I know it’s a pride point for people to say “it wasn’t easy”.

But that doesn’t mean it would hurt to try easy and see how it suits you.

Methinks Abreu needs a day or two off.

Well, of course. Who else could it even be?

Just deGrom, actually. They mistakenly spotted Spaghetti an extra five strikeouts there. He’s only (only!) had 33 over his last three starts.
