MLB has been secretly switching to more 'lively' baseballs during specific games

I think they've like secretly been like switching in some good balls. Cause certain games, like on certain times, I don't want to say anything specific, but Or a lot of hard hit balls and they're going out of the park... off your bat... sometimes like there's balls that we hit and we're like, oh, that's gone. And then next thing you know, it's caught.

Later investigations and data confirmed MLB used multiple distinct ball constructions in 2022 without telling players.

Steph Curry is now in the conversation for best basketball player of all time

Steph Curry is now in the conversation for best basketball player of all time, all time, but he still hasn't had the, the MVP trophy handed to him by the commissioner yet because we had the backup commissioner that filled in for silver and did that tonight.

While Curry is generally ranked in the top 10-15 all-time, he is rarely considered above Jordan or LeBron, making this a bold but tracked debate point.

Derrick White was the worst player in the last two games of the NBA Finals

I was going to wear this shirt that we just came out with for Derrick White, who fucking sucks is maybe the worst player in the last two games. So that was just dumb on my part. Cause I thought about it after game three and by the time the shirt was made, he was just an absolute garbage can.

White had a +/- of -26 in Game 6 and -4 in Game 5, justifying the claim of poor performance in that specific stretch.

The NBA Finals moment was too big for Jayson Tatum

Tatum might've just shown his true colors. Like that's, that's who he is under the bright lights. I don't know. But that's a good spin zone Hank.

Tatum has since reached another Finals (2024) and won, partially debunking the 'can't win' narrative, though his 2022 performance was objectively poor.

Facing Jacob deGrom is like going into a test knowing you're going to fail

Yeah, it was a major suck. He shoved it last night. It's like going into a test knowing you're going to fail, like, there's nothing you can do. He's just going to overpower you, and you're going to walk back to the dugout saying, I don't know what I'm doing out here. ... The first pitch I barely even saw.

In 2021, deGrom was statistically having one of the greatest pitching seasons ever before injury.
