8/23/26 10:01 PM - N-Mart Is Like H-Mart Except He Sells BibimBABIP.
It’s not all bad news that you don’t have Nick Martinez on any teams. If you drafted him instead of Paul Skenes in the 2nd round, your leaguemates would’ve lured you into Patrick’s basement. (Patrick is your leaguemate and the stock broker who keeps trying to get you in his fund, and you’re like, “Patrick, I’ll run it by the missus,” and you never mention it to her, because you know Patrick is an idiot.) Please, blog, may I have some more?

Kyle Schwarber (DH - PHI)
8/23/26 7:36 PM - MLB home run leader Schwarber punctuates Phillies' unlikely comeback win over the Cardinals.

Schwarber then did his part. The MLB home run leader clubbed a 459-foot, two-run blast to complete the 6-4 come-from-behind victory.
