Just an incredible marathon time. How long could you keep up with someone running at that pace? I'd say maybe 400 meters on good day for me.
From the second article:
Scott Jurek, the legendary ultramarathon runner, set a new record in 2015 for running the Appalachian Trail in 46 days. That works out to running 47 miles a day for a month and a half. Since then, his record has already been broken twice.
Now three times, as Karel Sabbe just set the AT record again a few weeks ago.
The amazing thing to me is that the record Sabbe broke was held by Joe McConaughy, who ran the AT in 45+ days unsupported. He carried all his food, handled his own hydration, everything. He averaged ~50 miles a day with a 28 pound pack fully loaded.
"Guys like Jurek and Meltzer run with a fanny pack or a hydration vest. Every ten miles, they come across their crew, who rub their legs while they sit in a chair eating food someone else has prepared. At night, they sleep in a bed and ice their injuries. Contrast that with Joe, who carried a 25-pound pack and set up his own camp and slept on the ground every night."

You're going to hurt yourself SOMEDAY with these catches....
Sometimes you see a good catch that makes up for a bad route. Those are fun, but part of what makes this one so great is the read. In a split second, he was sprinting straight to the spot. Sheesh!

Lately I've grown tired (to say the least) of the dishonesty and cowardice on display whenever many of our elected representatives face decisions in the public eye. To see these people come face to face with a dilemma, and then see many of them reach deep within to find a dignified way forward, well it's very refreshing.

Yikes. I was bummed to have missed the broadcast, but now I'm fine with it. The NFL Network, of all things, should respect a game like that enough to let it stand on its own.
The raw camera footage available with MLB's postseason.tv is such a tease. I'm sure it has to do with exclusive broadcast rights sold to FOX, but it's existence for that week serves as a frustrating reminder that the technology exists for different audiences to watch the action in different ways.
There was an inning or two during last year's baseball playoffs where the broadcast booth audio wasn't making it through to the postseason.tv stream. I picked a camera and heard only the sounds of the game and the crowd. I love Vin Scully, but that was the best 30 minutes of baseball I've ever witnessed through a TV.

Seems like a one-armed extension on the backswing is pretty normal for Machado. Here's another example, but note how he was at least a little bit curious about what he slugged that time.
