[Nola was not in fact built for this]
The Phillies will see how far they can push Aaron Nola on two days’ rest, Don Mattingly said. He could throw 40-50 pitches. Maybe more. Maybe less. “If anybody’s built for this, it’s probably Nola,” Mattingly said. “He is a guy who is more old school than anybody.”

This will get you right in the feels
This angle gets me, where he’s just kind of standing there soaking it in, then sees his daughter and smiles, then instantly melts into tears … whew. Hell of a run, 35.

There is a scenario where: - Phils win tonight, rainout tomorrow - DBacks win tonight and tomorrow - Red Sox beat Cubs tomorrow Phillies play Rays on Monday, if they win they’re the 4-seed, lose and they’re out of the playoffs

Hey @MLB I thought I was the only person allowed to fuck @JustinVerlander ?! What 2 writers didn't have him on their ballot?

In this clip he sounds like a smug 20-year taking his first political philosophy class convinced he’s come up with a brand new flaw in the argument a philosopher made 200 years ago - which makes him very smart In fact the exact opposite is true Thiel’s argument is asinine
Peter Thiel is always three steps ahead of everyone else. It’s actually crazy!

nobody is buying cooper Flagg rookie cards for 8 million dollars at market organically in the year of our lord 2026 the bid is obviously coming from folks heavily invested in selling you Topps pack rips, hobby boxes, stream slots, convention tickets and autograph sessions at all time high prices and mass market scale the carnival only works if there’s a Willy wonka golden lotto ticket out there everyone is chasing

Unless Philly wins and Arizona loses today, Philadelphia has to use Wheeler Sunday which means they don’t have him for the wild card round.
The updated NL Wild Card race with 2 games to go after the Diamondbacks win their 6th straight game. Arizona also owns the tie-breaker over the Phillies.

Since August 1st Cleveland’s bullpen is just stupid (yes Cantillo’s 0 ERA is really a starter behind an opener - so ignore his zero ERA)
I don’t give out betting advice but take a look at what Cleveland’s top-2 starters and top-5 relief pitchers have done since August 1st And ask yourself yourself how many innings will be thrown by anyone except them in the playoffs Then look at their odds

I’ll confirm this Sunday but I think my call for the World Series is Cleveland-San Diego I want to pick the Cubs but I don’t think they have the guys to get 27 outs. Padres can bullpen 2 games a series if they have to, and with Pivetta I’m not sure they have to

Milwaukee is a great team. But nobody understands how or why or if it will ever work in the playoffs. Dodgers are juggernaut A damaged juggernaut MacGyvered together by duck tape and thousand dollar bills right now Every other playoff team is flawed in different ways

Two very flawed teams…who happen to be the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the AL
The Red Sox and Yankees will face off in the AL Wild Card series.

Somehow Pablo is doing more sports journalism than every other outlet in North America combined?
UPDATE: Tim Tebow announces he is “pausing” his relationship with Life Surge following our @pablofindsout x @MotherJones investigation. Our previous request for comment from Tebow, in reply to our detailed list of questions, still stands. More to come.

Vote Silver for Pope
If I were the Pope I would TOTALLY take credit for sports teams I cheer for doing well ‘Look, I’m Jesus’ spokesmen on earth. I’m not saying this was God’s first priority but ya we chatted about it. You’re welcome. And no - the Yankees don’t win again until hell freezes over’
