Does Deshaun Watson look like he can return to his 2020 form, when he passed for 4,823 yards and 33 touchdowns? We saw glimpses of the talent last year, but only glimpses.
Pittsburgh Pirates veteran Andrew McCutchen has been in Major League Baseball for a very long time, which means he’s seen a lot of weird things happen during games.
But what happened before one of his at-bats on Wednesday night might have been the strangest thing yet for him to experience, and he had the perfect reaction to it.
McCutchen was getting ready to make his way to the batter’s box when he realized he wasn’t hearing his walk-up music being played.

It’s a sprint race weekend at Red Bull Ring
Formula 1 heads to the Styrian Alps this weekend, for the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix. Held at Red Bull Ring, this is the home race for Red Bull, and they enter the week having dominated the 2023 F1 season.
Red Bull has won every race this year, and Max Verstappen is in search of his fifth-straight victory.
Can anyone catch them?
Adding to the intrigue is the fact that this is one of the sprint races on the 2023 schedule.
Baker Mayfield went from being the guy with the Cleveland Browns, to an injured player in a Browns’ uniform, to not a Brown at all in a pretty swift downfall. Now entering what will be his sixth season in the NFL, Mayfield has now suited up for four different teams around the league, and one of his short tenures is exactly what the doctor ordered.

F1. teams and drivers might have their eyes in the sky on Saturday
Could the weather add another twist to the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix?
It certainly looks that way, at least for Saturday.
Current weather forecasts for Spielberg, Austria are calling for likely thunderstorms on Friday afternoon, when both the single practice session as well as qualifying for the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix are slated to take place.
The Big Ten reportedly will hold steady and wait on a potential PAC-12 collapse before further expanding.
USC and UCLA will join the Big Ten in 2024, and everyone expects further expansion to happen in the coming years. Could it happen within a year or two, five years or the next decade? A timeline is unknown, but nobody expects the Big Ten or SEC to stop growing.
It’s an arms race, and you never stop building weapons in an arms race.
Big Ten expansion reportedly hinges on PAC-12 implosion.
There is no caveating a perfect game.
Such is the nature of perfection: It does not allow room for but or almost or well, actually… There are only the smooth zeroes of the box score. The feat remains far too rare to argue with. Until this week, MLB had seen just 23, not even two dozen across nearly a century and a half of history. Baseball is full of flukes and quirks and capricious twists of fate. But the bar for perfection is high enough that there is no backing into it. With so few perfect games in so many years? Accidents do not exist here.
New York veteran starter Domingo German authored a perfect game against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night, as the Yankees right-hander allowed no hits and no walks on 99 pitches in an 11-0 victory at the Oakland Coliseum.
The rebuilding Chicago Blackhawks made the obvious official Wednesday night, selecting Regina Pats center Connor Bedard, 17, with the first overall pick in the 2023 NHL draft in Nashville, Tennessee, before the Anaheim Ducks took center stage at No. 2.
