The Kyle Farnsworth-Iowa mystery might have been just been solved 🕵️‍♂️

William Van Landingham, who I thought of as the first "my generation" big leaguer because he wore a backpack and listened to alternative rock

YES! Ryan did it, he validated my hunch! It was an incredible played comment on about ten levels.

Do you think there is a Most Memorable BP Annual Comment, let's say from 2000 to 2012? I think there there is, but I don't know how much those things stick, so I'm testing my hunch here

I need these guys to go away for 10 years so I have time to adjust, this is making me car sick

OK in fairness it was MUCH worse 30 years ago, whatever this is. I feel like my brain just melted. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FaE...

The movie theater is phasing out pennies, so won't give out pennies as change, but still charges $12.99 for popcorn. Literally the lowest-stakes thing possible and I can't stop thinking about it.

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

My sense is "I think that's right" got shamed off the air several years ago, and "what are we DOING here" is the biggest snub from this list.

These guys are all 22-26. I could believe a DM, a Snap and a FaceTime

Dave Dombrowski redesigned the actuary tables on Bryce Harper to “six to nine months” and said “Schwarber can play first.”

This is malpractice. Removed one-third of his blood? Baby stuff. Gotta get to two-thirds before the effects kick in.

Jesse Chavez played 18 seasons for nine teams but his first post-retirement job, as a bullpen coach, is on a different team entirely. That's gotta be really rare.

the good news is the price change doesn't kick in until 1/1, and we're currently running our yearly promotion for a yearly sub, a copy of the Annual, and a t-shirt, so there literally isn't a better time to subscribe or extend a subscription with us:

Dude you are there WAY too early, on a number of levels

I just want to say that "This is the first ever known David Wright-only ballot" is a incredible sentence, I love it

this is absolutely bananas

I can't tell you how happy this makes me (as the guy writing the Orioles' BP Annual essay this year)

Been trying to write about Infield In and buddy this was a mistake

I know he's little but IMO they should still give him the adult procedure

I always like it when PBS says that viewers like me.

I am unafraid to rank the most recent World Series: pebblehunting.substack.com/p/stakes-sto...

I'd really like to rerun this timeline with Aaron Judge trying to stay a two-way player after high school

They'll really rehabilitate anything

Let's go, J-Ram, finish the job!

It's obviously smart for a million reasons that so-so starters don't throw 150 pitches in postseason games anymore, but watching Britt Burns pitch several innings out of gas sounds like it was pretty fun, too:

@cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com This was pre-2016, dang man.

This phrase is simply too sticky, I'm going to be saying "payment for a horse" after severely wild pitches for the rest of time.

A whole bunch of screen grabs of funny pitches? It's like Jeff Sullivan came out of retirement to write this indictment

I have a lot of person favorites but this is one of the lot:
