High N Tight Sunday

👍 THE GOOD — League of Their Own?

We all remember A League of Their Own — Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Madonna — the story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League that thrived during WWII before folding in 1954.

Now, more than 70 years later, women’s pro baseball might be making a comeback.

This weekend, 600+ players descended on Washington DC chasing the dream. The four-day showcase, run by the Women’s Pro Baseball League, wraps with a live game Monday at Nationals Park.

From there, 150 players move on to the league’s first draft — with Opening Day set for 2026.

Here’s hoping it’s the start of something bigger than a box score. And if they need a motto? Still no crying in baseball.

👎 THE BAD — The Zombie Giants

What the hell happened to the San Francisco Giants???

When Buster Posey slid into the front office, there was hope. Add Willy Adames, then swing a blockbuster for Rafael Devers — it looked like San Fran was finally ready to trade punches with the Dodgers.

But after a flicker of promise, the wheels have fallen off. After dropping 6 of 7 to the Padres, their season is circling the drain.

Yahoo Sports called the Giants, a ‘Zombie Team.’ And they look it — staggering toward October with no real pulse.

🙈 THE UGLY — Victor Robles Suspended

The video is wild.

On a rehab stint, Mariners’ Victor Robles took a pitch to the chest — his fourth hit-by-pitch in five games. This time he snapped, hurling his bat toward the pitcher and charged the mound. Fortunately, teammates jumped in and steered him off before things really exploded.

MLB didn’t wait around, handing down a 10-game suspension.

The irony? Robles was rehabbing a separated shoulder — and judging by the way he launched that bat, the shoulder looks just fine. Anger management, though? That’s a whole different rehab assignment.

Robles later apologized, citing the recent passing of his mother and the frustration of rehab. But he said it was no excuse.

⚾️ ONE FOR THE ROAD — “I’m Human, Too”

Pro athletes are easy targets. The cars, the money — heckling feels fair game. But sometimes it crosses the line.

In Boston last weekend, Miami’s Dane Myers heard it all game from the right-field seats. He finally snapped, jawed back, and security tossed one heckler.

Ninth inning? Myers had the last word: a game-tying homer. Scoreboard.

Afterward, he kept it simple: “I’m a human, too, so I want some respect as well.”

Trash talk if you must — just remember, these guys swing bats for a living.

Quick heads-up: We’re adding The Brushback to the lineup — a midweek rant where we swing hard at one hot topic. Catch it Wednesdays at 8 a.m.

Let us know what you think, and as always — enjoy the weekend!
