There’s an interesting article on the resurgence of the use of bunts not just for sacrifices, but for base hits in MLB and the Rays of all people are leading all baseball with bunts. The article asks the question if the disparagement of bunting common for many years is making a comeback for sound strategic and statistical reasons. I would provide a link but mlb.com doesn’t support posting something directly to Safari for some reason and I’m not interested in going directly into Chrome or anything. And if you can’t look it up yourself, you’re pretty remedial.

There is something...completely normal...going on.

All we need is one good pandemic and MAGA would cease being a problem.

You can take the science out of a MAGA, but you can’t put the science back into a MAGA.

That’s MTG and Massie. We can use them to dispatch Trump like the Allies did with the Soviet Union, but we still have to reckon with them.

I would if he is freer to spout this kind of nonsense on Fox Business than he would Fox News?

Russini resigned from The Athletic.

The thing about Edmonton is you have three fantastic players in McDavid, Draisaitl and Bouchard and a lot of "meh" after that...Nugent-Hopkins and Hyman had decent production last year but they're getting old.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Pat Caputo today after a battle with cancer. Pat was not always my favorite sports personalities, but he was one of the first I remember listening to growing up on WDFN and Team 1270. He was iconic here in the Detroit spots media market and was one of the very first all-sports radio shows in the market with his Book on Sports show. RIP Pat Caputo.

Grain of salt from Heyman, who basically runs PR for Boras...

Sad news on the Detroit media front. RIP, Book

WaPo story to the effect that the CIA says Iran can hold out longer than Trump can, still has much more than half of its missile and drone capability remaining. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/05/07/cia-intelligence-iran-trump-blockade-missiles/

that's the thing - some folks are mad at DJT, but are 100% still with the program, so they aren't particularly useful allies for the other side.

The CDC came up to Boston a few years ago to train us on some new software for data on diseases. As an example, they asked us to search for the hantavirus. So, a lot of us typed in Hunter virus and couldn't get any results...

I think if that was the case she would have quit and gone underground so to speak. She’s still capitalizing basic views. She’s also pissed because Trump didn’t endorse her when wanted to run for Senate. I think to most folks, she’s still has Trumper values, just anti-Trump

Good ole horse paste…smh

Is this a fireable offense for either Russini or Vrabel? For Russini, as a journalist, this clearly compromises her journalistic integrity sleeping with a source. So if she is still with The Athletic, I think it is a fireable offense. For Mike Vrabel, it is unfair and hypocritical to say Diana should be fired and he should not. I think he'll probably survive and not get fired, nor have to resign. But I think this clearly compromises his integrity as a coach and his ability to build a culture in the lockeroom.

Hmmmm

I'm sure he's confused looking at the roster for the mere fact that he probably can't read

I wonder if Tkachuk is looking at this roster and wondering what he got himself into.

Super cool to see Max Plante on the list. Faulk is there too.
