@Phil_Lewis_ To all the people claiming she didn't give props to her opponent, go back and watch the whole post-match interview. It's one of the first things she said. She said Ajla was just too much for her and she just had a better match. Y'all criticize without even knowing the story.

Add this garbage to the file 'Reasons MLB needs an automated strike zone.' The Twins' Griffin Jax strikes out Shohei Ohtani in a tie game in the bottom of the 7th—but the home plate umpire decides that the inning must go on. One batter later, the Angels take the lead. Garbage.

This Chargers team is just never prepared for key late-game situations. Such heavy coverage on the right side here, but a clear gaping hole on the left. The slot corner OR the LB could have blitzed there and Justin Herbert would have had 0 chance to escape. Adios, Brandon Staley.

You have Freddie Freeman “available” but give the bat to Chris Taylor down 3-2 with 2 on and 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th? I’m continually exasperated as to how Dave Roberts is allowed to be the manager of the best team in the universe. A competent manager has this team 85-46.

Is Joe Mazzulla the Celtics version of Steve Belichick minus the nepotism? Not just the eyes/sometimes downright-confused looks. It's also the boss having irrational confidence in them despite having 0 experience—and it somehow all working out because they work with the players.

Ladies and gentlemen, the worst base-running play of the MLB season. With 0 outs on a ball that hit the centerfield wall, the Nationals just ran into a double play. They should’ve at worst had runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Unacceptable for the Yankees to lose to this team.
