Rougned Odor Slaps Walk-Off Dinger, Stares Down Edwin Diaz
Rougned Odor spent the Rangers’ game against the Mariners tonight messing with Dae-ho Lee, hitting the ball over the field, and futzing around on the basepath. He capped it off with a walk-off home run, and because he’s Rougned Odor, he capped that off with a stare down and a little tiny baby bat fl...

Yoenis Cespedes Punctuates Extra-Innings Walkoff With Tremendous Bat Flip
Since Yoenis Cespedes returned to the Mets from the DL, his team is 7-2. He’s had a hit in every game but one over that duration, and tonight, he rocked a tenth-inning homer to give the Mets a walk-off win over the Marlins. ...
Diving Scorpion Kick Goals Are The Best Goals
Normally, the uniformly terrible music soccer highlight makers afflict upon their videos detracts from the action on display. However, this metal track accompanying a video of Dmytro Ulyanov’s scorpion kick golazo in the Ukrainian first division really gets the feeling of badassery conveyed by Ulyan...
High School Player Scores Insane Front-Flip Goal, But It Doesn't Count<em></em>
A key part of the majesty of sports is watching the human body confront unique problems and, within the confines of the sport’s rules and the constraints of what is physically possible, solve them on the fly with a feat of athletic genius. This is what makes Columbine high schooler Dylan Prichett-Et...
RG3 Hits Josh Gordon For 43-Yard Touchdown
It’s 2016, and forgive us for being amazed to witness a connection between Robert Griffin III and Josh Gordon, a 43-yard touchdown bomb, or simply that the Cleveland Browns managed to do something competently—even if it’s just the preseason, and even if it’s just against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers....

Jason Kipnis Messes With Rougned Odor, Delighting The Rangers Bench

Billy Hamilton Can Fly, Maybe
Billy Hamilton is one of the very best defensive center fielders in baseball, and tonight he went all out to make one of his best catches of the season. He’s really fast, man. Fast enough to get asked jokingly about racing Usain Bolt, and fast enough to chase this Carlos Beltran hit down....
Andrew Benintendi May Have Just Made The Catch Of The Season
David Price pitched a gem for the Red Sox this evening, striking out eight men and only giving up two hits in eight innings of work. His night would have been a lot less spectacular, had Andrew Benintendi not flown across the outfield to leap up on top of the wall to rob Steven Souza of a dinger....
A Truly Devastating Juke
The Chargers, who suck, are staring down a whole host of problems this season. Joey Bosa is only nominally a Charger, their offensive line is injury-prone and bad, and they are still owned by Dean Spanos, who manages to be both cruel and incompetent.
