Greg explains why in this episode. Enjoy!

Tarik may have had loose bodies removed from his elbow but Patti's pitching flock remains in shambles. Our boyfriends are getting beaned, sometimes by the aforementioned flock member. We don't care for it, and yet what happened to warnings? Pottymouth catches us up on her overabundance of catchers. Shea has Dad Power. JJ hits an inside the park grand slam and laments the running. Patti relates. It turns out, at the one-quarter season mark, that we are terrible about predicting where teams will be in the standings but not so bad about identifying individual stand-out players. Pottymouth digs deeper around the self-deportation of Humberto Federico Cruz-Guajardo. Patti wants you to read this article in Andscape putting the importance of the new owners of the Padres into the context of who has power and what that means.

The World Baseball Classic has been electric - packed stadiums, global stars, and teams playing with a level of joy that Major League Baseball doesn't always capture. So why does Team USA feel like the only team not having any fun? In this episode, Kavitha Davidson breaks down what the WBC is revealing about baseball right now: from questions around leadership and “vibes” on the U.S. roster to the bigger issue of American exceptionalism in a sport that has always been global. We also get into the cultural exchange at the heart of the tournament, why teams like Venezuela and the Dominican Republic feel so different on the field, and what it all says about where baseball is headed. Joining Kavitha today is Clinton Yates, an ESPN columnist for Andscape and host of Clinton & Friends on ESPN Radio, who covers the intersection of sports, culture, and race. Clinton was on the ground at the WBC and brings sharp insight (and plenty of opinions) on everything from Team USA's leadership choices to the tournament's growing global significance. Plus, we get into some of the week's most chaotic sports stories - from the NBA's “Magic City Night” controversy to Bam Adebayo's 83-point explosion - and why they say a lot more about sports culture than the games themselves.

El 5 de septiembre de 1938 se disputó en Veracruz un partido por el campeonato del circuito de verano de béisbol mexicano entre el Águila, el equipo local, y el Agrario del Distrito Federal, liderado por el legendario lanzador Satchel Paige. Esa tarde, Paige tuvo que ser relevado en la octava entrada, y el bateador de los Rojos del Águila, que tenía el mejor promedio en la liga —.387—, conectó un jonronazo con el que desempató el partido y le dio la victoria al lanzador de su equipo, quien terminó el partido con doce ponches. Ese lanzador terminaría la temporada como el mejor de la liga con el mayor número de ponches, el mejor récord y el promedio más bajo de carreras limpias permitidas, 0.92. ¡Pero lo más asombroso del caso es que aquel bateador campeón y aquel lanzador que obtuvo la Triple Corona era el mismo jugador cubano, Martín Dihigo, que con sobrada razón llegaría a ser conocido con los motes de «El Maestro» y «El Inmortal»!1 Once días después, Dihigo se convirtió en el primero en conectar 6 hits en 6 turnos al bate. El año anterior había sido el primero en lanzar un juego sin hits ni carreras, y el año siguiente, en ese mismo circuito, habría de imponer el récord de 34 ponches en dos juegos consecutivos. Sin embargo, lo que le dio la mayor fama fue su versatilidad en el terreno a lo largo de su carrera, que abarcó desde 1922 hasta 1953 como jugador y cómo mánager de diversos equipos de la Liga Profesional Cubana y de las Ligas Negras norteamericanas, además de las de México, Venezuela, República Dominicana y Puerto Rico. Era capaz de jugar en todas las nueve posiciones, de correr como un venado, de batear con ambos brazos, de lanzar con precisión milimétrica, de tirar con brazo de cañón y de ganar campeonatos como mánager.2 Después de haber ingresado a los Salones de la Fama de Cuba en 1951 y de México en 1964, Martín Dihigo fue electo al Salón de la Fama de Cooperstown en Nueva York en 1977, siendo el primer jugador cubano en lograrlo, y a los Salones de la Fama en Venezuela y en República Dominicana en 2010, ¡convirtiéndose en él único elegido en cinco países en la historia del béisbol!   En 1935, siendo mánager de los Cubanos de Nueva York, al darse cuenta de que su paisano exestrella de las Ligas Negras, Cristóbal Torriente, estaba sumido en el alcoholismo y la pobreza, Dihigo lo contrató como entrenador del equipo.3 A ese espíritu generoso se estaba refiriendo «El Cometa Cubano» Minnie Miñoso, quien se crio en la provincia de Matanzas al igual que su ídolo Dihigo, cuando lo describió como «un hombre grande, todo músculo sin una onza de grasa... pero grande en todos los sentidos: como jugador, como mánager, como maestro y como hombre».4 ¡Qué buen ejemplo nos dio aquel «Maestro Inmortal» del béisbol en cuanto a cómo poner en práctica la enseñanza del Maestro Divino, Jesucristo, de que para ser grande, hay que servir a los demás!5 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Enrique García Villarreal, «Dihigo vs. Paige: El duelo que cambió el béisbol», Primer Bat, 29 mayo 2025 En línea 4 julio 2025. 2 Juan A. Martínez de Osaba y Goenaga, «Semblanza para un Maestro Inmortal: Martín Dihigo», Periódico Cubadebate, 7 noviembre 2013 En línea 4 julio 2025; Peter C. Bjarkman, «Martin Dihigo», Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) [Sociedad para la Investigación del Béisbol] En línea 4 julio 2025; y Thomas Harrigan, «Martín Dihigo: Mr. Versatility» [Mr. Versatilidad], mlb.com, 27 septiembre 2023 En línea 4 julio 2025. 3 Bijan C. Bayne, «‘The Immortal’ Martin Dihigo may have been the best baseball player ever» [«El Inmortal» Martín Dihigo bien pudo haber sido el mejor jugador de béisbol de todos los tiempos], Andscape, 13 abril 2020 En línea 4 julio 2025. 4 Bjarkman y Harrigan. 5 Mt 20:25-28; Mr 10:42-45

Send us a textJames Gladstone is reshaping the Jacksonville Jaguars with a bold mentality that fans haven't seen before in Jacksonville. The latest evidence? Trading center Luke Fortner for New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Khalen Saunders - bolstering the team's biggest roster weakness without surrendering draft capital.This proactive approach marks a refreshing change from previous regimes that seemed content to enter the regular season with glaring weaknesses. Whether acquiring Travis Hunter with multiple first-round picks or making strategic trades, Gladstone is sending a clear message that contention drives many of his decisions.Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence looks increasingly comfortable in Liam Coen's offense, which features a heavy dose of the run game alongside quick reads in the passing game. After the first-team offense bounced back impressively from an early fumble against the Saints, there's growing optimism that Lawrence may have "all the answers" within this scheme. This was one of the many topics "Touchdown Jaguars!" host James Johnson discussed with special guest and former Jags Wire co-host Jacob DeLawrence.The rookie running back duo of Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen continues to impress, potentially giving Jacksonville the deepest backfield in the AFC South. This remarkable depth provides valuable insurance during the grueling 17-game season and possibly offers a succession plan when Travis Etienne's contract expires.As the preseason winds down, the Jaguars appear to have established a clearer identity than in previous years, though questions remain about the defense's readiness despite visible improvement from their first preseason game. With a division that appears winnable, the pieces may finally be falling into place for a legitimate playoff push. James and Jacob discussed all of this and more (like Ryan Clark's recent take on Hunter) in episode 117.Want more Jaguars content? Visit touchdownjaguars.com and follow us on Twitter @TD_JaguarsPod for complete coverage throughout the season. Also, follow Jacob's work at Andscape.com, including his recent interview with AEW's Swerve Strickland.Touchdown Jaguars Linktree James Johnson and Phil Barrera bring you the best and most up to date Jacksonville Jaguars news. "Touchdown Jaguars!" is a tribute to the prospective ownership group "Touchdown Jacksonville!" In 1991, the NFL announced plans to add two expansion teams and "Touchdown Jacksonville!" announced its bid for a team, and Jacksonville was ultimately chosen as one of five finalists. In November 1993, the NFL owners voted 26–2 in favor of awarding the 30th franchise to Jacksonville. James and Phil have been fans of the franchise ever since and have had the honor (and sometimes dishonor) of covering the team professionally since 2017. The rest as they say, is history.

Their Accomplices Wore Robes: How the Supreme Court Chained Black America to the Bottom of a Racial Caste System (Doubleday, 2025) takes readers from the Civil War era to the present and describes how the Supreme Court, even more than the presidency or Congress, aligned with the enemies of Black progress to undermine the promise of the Constitution's Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments.The Reconstruction Amendments, which sought to abolish slavery, establish equal protection under the law, and protect voting rights, converted the Constitution into a potent anti-caste document. But in the years since, the Supreme Court has refused to allow the amendments to fulfill that promise. Time and again, when petitioned to make the nation's founding conceit, that all men are created equal, real for Black Americans, the nine black robes have chosen white supremacy over racial fairness. Their Accomplices Wore Robes brings to life dozens of cases and their rich casts of characters to explain how America arrived at this point and how society might arrive somewhere better, even as today's federal courts lurch rightward.

A graduate of Harvard Law School and a member of the New York Bar, he taught law at Villanova Law School and wrote for several years for ESPN's The Undefeated (now Andscape).

The New York Liberty face the Minnesota Lynx for the championship in what has been a remarkable year for the WNBA. Attendance, attention and viewership skyrocketed. But throughout the season, superstar players Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese were dogged by toxic fans and coverage that was often sexist, racist, and just plain wrong from male sports journalists who knew little about the sport. On today's episode of A Word, Jason Johnson discusses the issues with sports writer David Dennis Jr. of Andscape. They talk about how the action on the court was often overshadowed by off-the-court drama, and what the league can do better next season.  Guest: David Dennis Jr., senior writer for Andscape and author of The Movement Made Us: A Father, a Son, and the Legacy of a Freedom Ride.
