Weekend winners
WBC. Big picture, it crystallized to me: These are MLB All-Star games in which the players give a dagnabit. That’s cool. And know this: I was up early each day because Shohei Ohtani is peak Tiger Woods-2001-must-see-TV at this point.
EPB/Braves fans. We had this story over the weekend that EPB subscribers with Gold and Silver cable plans will get BravesVision with no price increase. (To be transparent, EPB recently raised their cable rates; whether that was with the knowledge of this or not, can’t say, so there you go.) Trying to get details on more local providers, too. Stay tuned. Or stay streaming, maybe.
Akshay Bhatia. Dude became the eighth player ever to record his first three PGA Tours wins in a playoff. That’s — cue Raftery — “onions,” folks. And yeah, $4 million for the trouble — especially since Daniel Berger had the lead or shared the lead for 72 holes at the Arnold Palmer — doesn’t hurt, either.
