"Blake Snell joined the recent social media trend of gently carrying his dogs toward a wall to see if they instinctively put their paws up to stop themselves from touching it. If the dog quickly puts its paws up to brace itself, it is considered "smart" and passing the test. However, the trend is more about the dog's natural reflexes and trust in its owner rather than complex problem-solving."
"The left-hander just completed the first of a five-year, $182 million contract he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers during the 2024 offseason. He went 5-4 with a 2.35 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 10.6 strikeouts per nine in 61.1 innings pitched across 11 starts this year. Snell then turned in a 3-2 record with a 3.18 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 10.9 strikeouts per nine in six playoff appearances (five starts)."
Blake Snell participated in a social-media trend that tests whether dogs instinctively brace by putting their paws up when carried toward a wall; both of his dogs failed to raise their paws before contacting the wall. The trend relies on natural reflexes and trust rather than complex cognition. Snell completed the first year of a five-year, $182 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He posted a 5-4 regular-season record with a 2.35 ERA and high strikeout rates, and a 3-2 postseason mark with similar strikeout dominance. Shoulder inflammation cost him significant time on the injured list.
