Social media star Paige Spiranac ripped critics on Saturday afternoon by pointing out what she saw as a glaring double standard.
And she might have a point. A pretty solid one at that.

That’s a weird sentence to write about any other baseball team, but that’s par for the course with the Savannah Bananas.

Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred is doubling down on making fun of Oakland A’s fans.
The A’s potential relocation to Las Vegas has been a contentious subject over the past few weeks.

Manfred responded afterwards, sarcastically referring to the 28,000+ fans as “almost an average Major League Baseball crowd.
Rays shortstop Wander Franco missed the past two games after being benched by the organization for disciplinary reasons. Sidelined on Thursday and Friday fro the first two games of Tampa Bay’s four-game series against the Royals, Franco returned to action on Saturday.
In his first at-bat of the game, Franco launched a solo shot off Jordan Lyles in the bottom of the first inning, smacking a hanging breaking ball out to deep center field, clearing the wall to open the scoring for Tampa.
It was a loud return to the lineup for Franco, who was penciled in as the No.
