- Is it incredibly easy to overreact to spring training footage? Yes. Am I doing exactly that with this Jarred Kelenic tater? Yes. Will I be accepting criticism for this? No. Also Shoutout 38 Special.

Around the league...
- The Texas Rangers added some bullpen depth by signing right-hander and former Mariner Dominic Leone to a minor league deal yesterday.
- New York Mets star shortstop Francisco Lindor, a mere week after being eliminated from the 2022 playoffs, learned the hard way that abdominal pain is not meant to be ignored.

- Liam Hendriks hasn’t let his cancer treatment change his attitude in the slightest bit according to his teammates.
Lucas Giolito says Liam Hendriks has been his usual upbeat self as he continues cancer treatment. Called him an ‘inspiration’ for the team to have that attitude in the face of that kind of adversity.

- I... sure. Whatever.
Jared Walsh said this morning that he’s “full go” and feels like he’s 100 percent. Still wants to get out there and see, but all signs are good now.

Nick’s pick...
- The 2023 NBA Dunk Contest was last night, and 76ers shooting guard Mac McClung, whose entire NBA career to this point spans roughly 25 minutes of game time, stole the entire show with 4 dunks.
- Jumping over a Vincent Adultman into a tap off the glass two-handed overhead smash (50)
- 360 2 handed smash (49.8)
- Jumping over a man into a double-clutch backwards 2 handed smash (50)
- Showing off the handles into a 540 backwards 2 handed smash (50) straight into recreating the famous Vince Carter celly.
Unreal performance.
