ESPN Failure Ryan Clark Joins Elle Duncan As Netflix Leans Into WOKE Sports Coverage | Don’t @ Me w\/ Dan Dakich<\/a> <\/p>\n

Is Netflix speedrunning its way into becoming ESPN 2.0? On this episode of Don’t @ Me, Dan examines the platform’s strategy and what it means for everyday sports fans. First, Netflix dropped a bag on former ESPN anchor Elle Duncan to serve as their first full-time on-air sports anchor and lead host for live sports and special events. Now, they\u2019ve doubled down by signing Ryan Clark\u2019s The Pivot Podcast to a multi-year deal. Dan explains why leaning into victimhood mentality will push core subscribers away faster than ever.<\/p>\n

Former Major League pitcher Thomas Pannone threw a nine-inning perfect game Monday night, leading the Triple-A Nashville Sounds to a 3-0 win over the Durham Bulls. The 32-year-old southpaw incredibly retired all 27 batters he faced on just 94 pitches.<\/p>\n

Pannone put together an unblemished stat line, racking up nine shutout innings with zero hits, zero walks, and eight strikeouts.<\/p>\n

It marks the first nine-inning, single-pitcher perfect game across Minor League Baseball since 2017. It is also just the fifth solo perfect game in the 142-year history of the International League, dating back to 1884.<\/p>\n

The Brewers southpaw pitched with total command, but perfection didn’t come without a late dose of drama.<\/p>\n

Falling into a tight 3-0 hole against the 27th and final batter in the bottom of the ninth, Pannone faced the immediate risk of a game-ruining walk. Instead, he fired consecutive strikes to battle all the way back, retiring the hitter to lock up the final out.<\/p>\n

For this left-hander, flirting with baseball history is nothing new.<\/p>\n

During a 49-game run with the Toronto Blue Jays from 2018 to 2019, Pannone carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning<\/a> of his Big League debut against Baltimore. In 2019, he threw an immaculate inning against Tampa Bay, striking out the side on nine consecutive pitches.<\/p>\n

Since leaving Toronto in 2020, Pannone has taken the classic journeyman route.<\/p>\n

Pannone worked through the Cubs, Angels<\/a>, and Yankees’ minor league systems, alongside a pitching stint in the Korean Baseball Organization. He earned a spot start for Milwaukee earlier this summer, marking his first MLB appearance in three years, before returning to Triple-A.<\/p>\n

Another shot in the bigs doesn’t seem far out of Pannone’s future.<\/p>\n
