Hi. My name is Crit.
I am tired. I am true of heart!
Fix your heart or die.
I love baseball and emotional rock.

- This is crazy. The kid is special.
- In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Across the world, we’ve seen democracy in retreat,” writes A.G. Sulzberger, the publisher of The New York Times. “This anti-press playbook is now being used here in this country — and it could not come at a more difficult time for the American press.”
- You truly have become a parody of yourself and the rest of us will suffer forever as a result.
- I wrote the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover story on NIL entrepreneur Livvy Dunne. Photos by Ben Watts. I don’t think the story is online but it’s in print! ❤️
- Go Molly!!!
- Stat of the day: 19 pitchers in MLB history have had multiple career starts with a negative game score. Tanner Houck of the Red Sox just did it twice in 28 days. Only 3 other pitchers have done it twice in the same season: Colby Lewis, 2015; Jason Marquis, 2006; Jaime Navarro, 1997.
- 35 pitchers in MLB history have given up at least 11 earned runs more than once. Only 12 have done it twice in the same year, only 11 since WW2 ended, including Tanner Houck this season. Not great.

- Pete Rose sucks. There’s a 50% chance Trump hears the news and tries to call him up not realizing he’s dead.

- responsibittity lol
- Down down down go the Rockies. Brutal season. They are last in run differential at -128 which is 59 runs worse than anyone else.
- Now do WAR per dollar for Kris Bryant since he was traded here
- Thinking about him just makes me sad. I'm glad he got a ton of money but the deal made no sense for the team, and he just can't stay healthy. It's scary when you hear the word "degenerative." You guys deserve a better team.
- Trump on getting a free luxury plane from Qatar: "I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer."
- That's exactly the problem, he can be bribed by anyone! He's completely transactional. All he cares about is "can this person do something for me? can this person give me money?" That's the whole game!
- Mass state law is concerned that I might be influenced by small gifts, but the NYT says it's fine for Trump to get a $400 million plane

- Yesterday in Kansas City, the Red Sox scored 3 runs and the Royals scored 1. This raises questions about which team should be credited with a win.
- TODAY the NYT publishes an investigation into the Trump memecoin $TRUMP and how it has turned into a extraordinary venue for foreign influence campaigns. What we are seeing is potentially corrupt attempts to change US policy by paying the Trump family money. This is no "Russian Hoax" nyti.ms/4kkv7D7
- The "Russian Hoax" was also not a hoax.
- *robot voice* At the next light, take a left on Main Street. Another child is laughing at you. That's 28 today.
- Lucas Giolito is going to need a third pitch if he's going to have success this year. In two starts, 95% of his pitches have been 4-seam or change. That's all but 9 pitches. He's given up a lot of hard contact as a result. In 2023 (he didn't pitch last yr) he threw 42% 4-seam 28% change 28% slider.
- Lucas Giolito obviously read this post and he had a great start against a very good team today: 6.2 IP 2 H 1 R 1 BB 5 K. The run was unearned. Nice mix of pitches today. Very promising. All 19 sliders were against righties, all 9 curveballs were to lefties.
- The Padres scored 34 runs on the Rockies over the past two days. The last time a team scored 34 or more runs in a two-game span was the Cubs in 2023. It's only happened 14 times since 2000. (In 2003, the Red Sox scored 34 over two games and lost one of them! Won 25-8, lost 10-9.)
- Red Sox stat of the day. It feels like Jarren Duran keeps crushing the ball into outs this season so I looked it up. He's tied (w/ Aaron Judge) for 10th in hard hit balls. But of the top 30 players in hard hit he's 24th in hits, 27th in avg, 29th in wOBA. Feels like it should even out.
- While looking at these numbers I discovered that the real kings of hitting the ball hard into outs: Alec Bohm and Andrew Vaughn have a much lower wOBA.
- “There is a real irony here, by the way: Mookie Betts is the best right fielder on earth, and he’s playing shortstop now because that’s where the Dodgers need him. I wonder how the Red Sox could find someone like that.”

- This whole thing sucks and no one looks good. Communication from the team hasn’t been great, farm system has no one at first base, and I get why Raffy is reluctant to move. Feels like they could lose both him and Bregman after this year. Worst case scenario.
- Crying is cool www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_kS...
- Trump issued a weird as shit proclamation about Mother's Day.
- This was written by ChatDJT.
- there are 30 mlb teams are there supporters on blue sky for every team i mostly see about half a dozen teams mentioned regularly
- Go Red Sox. Go Cubs. But truly, go baseball.
- "Advocates with the LUCE Immigrant Justice Network of MA tell GBH News that they’ve identified more than 50 ICE arrests since Sunday." Our useless governor: *shrug emoji*

- Cubs stat of the day for you... Pirates (118) and Rockies (115) have scored the least runs in MLB. If you combine them, they just barely top the Cubs. 1. PIT + COL - 233 2. CUBS - 223 3. DET - 208 4. NYY - 206 4. LAD - 206

- We should dig a mass grave for these just like they did with the game.
- They told us "abolish ICE" was an unserious radical position but there's no way that's worse than unaccountable anonymous chuds ripping families apart and disappearing people off the street.
- A report from the scene of a horrifying kidnapping on the streets of Worcester, MA today by @billshaner.bsky.social www.welcometohellworld.com/they-dont-ne...
- As someone who can't always handle it when plans change I get it but I don't get paid 31 mil a year to play baseball. This is still a team sport. And this comment is stupid, the #1 prospect in MLB is ready to come play outfield any day.
- Congrats to @littlelowband.bsky.social! Their new record is out today and it rocks. littlelow.bandcamp.com/album/sunshi...
- Incredible combination of people. I will have to figure out what MUBI is at some point I guess.
- New playlist, new post. 17 great songs and a whole lot of bad news. www.anecdoche.com/p/may-2025
- Today we're listening to my new playlist. 17 new songs for you. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...
- Every day I think about watching Andor S2 but I keep not starting it because I don't want it to be over, and yes I know that doesn't make sense
- Chicago Pope do you like Midwest emo?
- MLB stat of the day: Shohei Ohtani put up 50 HR/50 SB last year and is ahead of that pace this season through 35 games. He is one of 15 players with at least 5/5 this year.
- "New American Pope" sounds like the title of a Hold Steady song.
- Huge Knicks-style comeback for Prevost
- The rich guy who does very little work and golfs all the time thinks you have too many days off. He also thinks your kids should have less health care, less toys, and less food, pay more for what you do have, and say "thank you, sir!" for it. So savvy. Man of the people. Political genius.
- [pretending I didn’t see the Celtics game] wow the Red Sox actually won, what’s everyone so mad about

- I’m right there with ya. Two rough ones in a row.
- Chief Justice John Roberts tonight spoke about how an independent judiciary has to "check the excesses" of the president: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...
- Are those excesses in the room with us right now, John?
- A pro-Trump heckler failed to notice the spit on his neck.
- Protesters + a punk band drowned out Charlie Kirk at SF State, the far-Right CEO of Turning Point USA. "Numerous mosh pits broke out [with] chants of “Free Palestine” + appeals for working-class solidarity." Member of violent neo-Nazi group was also in attendance. sfstandard.com/2025/05/06/c...
- I know this is crazy but I really need THREE jets. Any chance you can help me out?
- Mel Kiper can’t believe they’re going to day two and Shadeur Sanders wasn’t named Pope
- No that means the smoke monster from LOST is the new pope
- Wow. The Pacers.
- The NBA playoffs have been crazy. This is a three game overlay: Pacers/Cavs game 2, Knicks/Celtics game 1, Nuggets/Thunder game 1. Thunder led by as much as 14, Celtics and Cavs each led by as much as 20.
- Is anybody missing two jets? I found two jets. I will leave them on the lawn until noon, otherwise they're going OBO on Facebook marketplace.
- Would you say it's lightly used or moderately used? Is it full of fish or half full of fish?
