I did not know this was allowed in softball, but it is!! Lowary pitched a combined 10.1 innings and 139 pitches; Florida’s starter, Kelly Barnhill, pitched 9.0 and 128. Read more

I called an old squirrel source of mine for background information, it was innocent......... Read more

Yeah, I feel like this is an under-appreciated sad Browns fact. I kept checking the list because I was sure there had to be at least one more! Read more

Hence the important modifier “exciting”! Read more

Missed this section of the statute the first time, have updated to include it. Thanks!  Read more

Thank you for bringing this oversight to my attention, it’s been updated. Read more

Ben Lindbergh did a great piece on it over on The Ringer. (The gist of it being that Joseph has been bad in general, but he’s also had significantly worse + fewer opportunities than the average player.) Read more

Thank you *so* much for disregarding my inability to mention that the dunk accounted for a third of Turner’s points, as this post went up midway through the second quarter and I freely acknowledge that I cannot psychically ordain a guy’s scoring total before halftime. Read more

Correct, updated to make that clear. Thanks! Read more

thank you; it originally was just the last three things tagged “march madness” and then I decided this would be much more relevant + important for readers to remember. Read more

A race organizer told local media that winds on at least one part of the course were measured at 100 km/hr (60+ mph), but I haven’t seen anything official or any other reports confirming that. Read more

...yeah, I have nothing on that. All I can say is that it was after 1 a.m. and I’m sorry. (+ thanks for pointing it out, it’s been fixed!) Read more

Per my understanding of Shelburne’s reporting, at least, that’s not true. Her spot isn’t automatic. With the current structure, three Buss family spots are automatic—and the brothers submitted four names for those three spots, none of which were Jeanie. (See second and third paragraphs here.)

Thank you for pointing this out! It’s been changed. Read more

Not pedantic! Clarified the wording to make it clear that I meant the All-Star game itself, thanks. Read more

Your fault for misremembering what month José Fernández died, but not your fault for calling me a “vapid cunt” because you thought I’d misremembered and hadn’t checked your facts? Just checking—I wouldn’t want to misremember, since you deleted your original comment! Read more

It was September 25. Feel free to check me on that with any of the hyperlinks in the article, any of the fourteen other pieces we have published about Fernández since his death, or a very simple Google search. Thanks for playing. Read more

Good point, and can let my parents know at Christmas dinner that they should be adjusting their expectations here. Read more
