Two minutes for hooking

One thing I do want to stress with the WPBL is there is going to be some aspects that seem unpolished or rough compared to other recent women league start ups, or even compared to early days nwsl / wnba. And that’s because there has been very very limited opportunities for women to pursue baseball on any level, and even less to play baseball with other women. The most traditionally organized women’s baseball that I know of exists in Japan with the Venus league, which is a large amateur baseball league that has tiers involving high school, university, and club teams (Japan also used to have a pro league that folded in the pandemic.) there are national team programs, but the women’s baseball World Cup only started as recently as 2002 and has not been held 9 times. Most of the women’s playing experience comes with playing for indie ball and vasity teams or programs where they’d frequently be the only women (and many of them faced being pushed out / giving less opportunities + focus from coaches because of that) and their national team opportunities opportunities.

Danny, when you make these decisions, do you think about Charlie having a slow news week at all, a little time off to himself? Danny do you even think of Siobhan's workload. C'mon man.

Question time for hockey fans!

I love your "they ring the same bells for weddings and funerals" tag bc I work as a bell-ringer at one of the few churches in my city where you still have to ring the bell manually. and we do ring the same bell whether it's a wedding or a funeral! but ☝️ we also ring it if the local sports team wins at sports (the secret third thing that is neither a wedding nor a funeral)

ah yes the lone survivor of the 22-23 cuda. it's exactly who you think it is. on the count of three .... one two three
