Thanks for letting me know. Substack has a pipeline feature where you can see what is going to be published in the future. I sometimes line them up in advance. Sometimes I don't. And Substack pipeline feature isn't great because sometimes it doesn't work right. Sometimes you need to refresh. Sometimes it takes a bit of time to catch up. Sometimes I'm a dope and forget that I already put one in the pipeline. This is a case where Substack failed because I checked last night and it said there wasn't one queued up when there clearly was.
Davis Drewek's white-hot start to the season continues, hitting two more home runs Tuesday evening in a 12-2 victory over the Glacier Range Riders.
Oakland's first day of their road did not have the most auspicious of starts. The team arrived in the early morning of Tuesday after a travel day plagued with flight delays. But it seemed to have little effect on their play as in the first inning, Drewek gave Oakland an early lead with a 2-run shot.
For the second night in a row and the third time in five meetings this season, the Dodgers and Mets needed extra innings to figure things out. Freddie Freeman’s second double of the game absolutely flummoxed Brandon Nimmo in left field, giving the Dodgers a 6-5 win in 10 innings.
The California men's tennis team bolstered its roster with the addition of four new Golden Bears, Peter Wright Director of Men's Tennis Kris Kwinta announced Tuesday, including transfers Lenn Luemkemann, Paris Pouatcha and Tiago Silva and incoming freshman Winston Lee.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Recent Cal graduate Jack Alexy of the California men's swimming & diving team was crowned the national champion in the 100-meter freestyle on Tuesday at the 2025 Toyota National Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana.
California women's tennis graduate Jessica Alsola added another accolade to her accomplished career Tuesday when she was named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-America Second Team in recognition of her standout work on the courts and in the classroom.
Alsola, who graduated from Cal in May with a bachelor's degree in psychology, collected multiple academic honors in her final season as a Golden Bear. She garnered a spot on the CSC Academic All-District Team – a prerequisite to being named a CSC Academic All-American – and collected the Golden Bear Achievement Award for posting the top grade-point average on the squad. Alsola helped the Bears achieve the Newmark Award as the Cal squad with the highest team GPA.
California catcher Alex Birge and righthanded pitcher Gavin Eddy were named to the 2025 Academic All-District Baseball team, selected by College Sports Communicators, and announced Tuesday. The selections recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the diamond and in the classroom.

A's lost to the Twins 10-3.
Giants lose to the Padres (3-2 in extras)
Manny Machado had a game tying 2-run single in the 9th with 2 outs and the bases loaded.
I'm official done with Camilo Doval.
On paper, he's really good. Watching him is an exercise in patience.
Didn't the Giants make him the closer because the previous closer was struggling? Was it Brebia?
Not sure. I barely follow baseball these days but that sounds right. I know Doval lost his job once before.

Who? Sounds like someone home schooled.
As someone whose been a teacher for nearly forty years, I endorse the wisdom of the above quote.
Maybe i'm misreading it. Oh wait, they're saying the least devious...I thought they meant the most devious. That makes more sense.
Reading fail. that's why I'm an engineer
