This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/m... I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.

It's possible that this Aaron Judge fellow is good at hitting baseballs...

Call me when the NYT is ready for a "12 Bitches Who Were Right about Everything" piece.

Terminator 2. I was convinced the world would end in 1997.

Don Mattingly is my favorite player of all-time and my boyhood hero. I do not really understand this move by the Phillies.

Fuck off

thinking about the gould quote again

Skenes 2026 Game 1: 67.50 ERA Games 2-6: 0.95 ERA

I love how Skenes has a 2.48 era despite allowing 3 gazillion runs in less than an inning on opening day.

This is a reason to love baseball. I hope he keeps it up!

Meet the best pitcher in MLB right now, according to both traditional and advanced metrics. @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Honestly, Nussmeier to the Chiefs makes sense since I see him as a good backup/spot start type at the Jacoby Brisset/Gardner Minshew level. Chiefs could use that.

When is the last player like Drew Allar (big toolsy mid round prospect who never quite put it together in college) who became a long term starter? Willing to be flexible on long term.

I am kinda shocked since I still expect this team to contend. I wonder what brought this on. Has to be more than a slow start right? I mean they fired everyone!

I coach my son's 7/8 rec team and asst. coach mu daughters tee ball team. I am exhausted...but my son's team won and he had some big hits and my daughter hit an automatic grand slam (last kid up every inning) and I saw kids play baseball for four hours. It's a good exhausted.

I was once asked how I used my love of baseball to make money. I didn't even know how to answer. I was just aghast.

If you’re thinking of monetizing your favorite hobby - don’t. That’s a good way to burn out on your favorite way to de-stress

One of the worst things to happen to America was journalism ceasing to be a middle income career like teaching or accounting and transforming into a bullshit job for precocious rich kids because parental subsidies are required for your first decade in the business.

This but all of America post 1990

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

They think you're stupid.

Bohm, roasted.

This is why I just don't see how you can support Manchester City no matter how good the football (or how annoying the Arsenal).

I got the job! Big career change from mgmt consulting to being a high school history teacher at a private school in Baltimore! Feeling good about the change, esp. the move out of the corporate world.

US elites decided, like a school of fish, that climate concern is old, boring, "woke," square, not hip & popular any more. As usual, it was based almost entirely on internal elite dynamics. It had nothing to do with the actual public, which is more concerned than ever.

I mean...he ain't wrong!

He then went on an (unprompted) 10-15 minute rant about how much he absolutely HATED Schilling, not just as a coworker but as a person. How Schilling was a primadonna and took forever to get ready, but he was a horrible person, and he had no use for him.

Anderson was one of those guys that I would get into arguments online about in the 2000s (I wasn't that impressed, low OBP, etc.). And while I was technically right, I was also wrong. Fun player, Good player, RIP.

"Brushing off these practices as unscientific implies that 'true' science is, and always has been, unimpeachable. It denies us a chance to examine what flaws may fuel our own ways of thinking." A new mailbag from @wbarlowrobles.bsky.social

This is why I watch murder mysteries (which I think are similar), Hallmark movies at a certain time of year, and why I have no problem indulging my wife's love of Gilmore Girls. Too much bad shit around, I don't want to deal with it when I am relaxing.

But its baseball. Its supposed to be slow.

That feeling when you didn't vote for Cy Young for the SABR era team because you didn't realize he was 19th century instead of dead-ball era. 😖

I wrote about Dianna Russini, the constant pressure female reporters face to prove they aren't sleeping with sources (plus the pressure we do get from sources to get involved with them), and why all of this is so uncomfortable to talk about. Gift link:
