had a great time talking about my book and some other Cardinals stuff with @dgoold.bsky.social here!

if there are enough good questions, I'll do a Baseball Hall of Fame vote mailbag again this year. Send me whatever questions you have about the Hall, the voting process, my voting process, anything!

IU is just that amazing. At football (what world is this?)

"meaningless" games in pro sports? Nope. No such thing. Today's Soapbox: www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/sny...

🐻 division champs!!

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

MAX AND LUCAS FOREVER! #strangerthings

I'm sure negative things will be said because that's inevitable once something gets to this point in terms of stature and hype, but Stranger Things this season has been pretty amazing imo

maybe i like violence too much bc i think my top Christmas movies are: 1. Die Hard 2. Violent Night 3. Home Alone 4. Home Alone 2 5. Christmas Vacation

Last minute shoppers for baseball fans! Free delivery still gets it to you before Christmas!

On Die Hard when McClane starts looking for Holly's name in the computer, the top left name on the screen .... Martinez, Pedro

Going on MLB Network at 10:45 a.m. ET to discuss!

How'd my day go? Well, it actually ruled. My dad and i saw the Bears dominate in sub-zero temps

just about 10 minutes if anyone is interested in making me answer a question

doing an AMA on Reddit tomorrow! 4 p.m. ET. Get questions in early if you want. www.reddit.com/r/mlb/commen...

Mileage varies and I'll always say to each his/her/their own, but ballots like this are why I've now decided to always vote for 10. I went only 9 last year and I'm mad at myself (sorry, Felix)

Ballot #18 is from Paul White. He submits the first blank ballot we've seen this year and the first one he's ever cast. For context, his last several ballots: 2025: CC, Ichiro, Wagner 2024: Beltré, Helton, Mauer, Sheffield, Wagner 2023: Helton, Sheffield, Wagner In the Tracker: tracker.fyi

That's the scoring record. Lamar Wilkerson free throws push him to 44 points. The most this building has ever seen. He checks out to a standing ovation. #iubb

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

So, against my better judgment, i tried my hand at TikTok to talk about my book. Order here! a.co/d/0ZublhE www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8UWQ26K/

20th century World Series champions with no HOFer (as player): 1997 Florida Marlins 1945 Cleveland Buckeyes 1981 Los Angeles Dodgers Realizing my Sheffield/Fernando/Murphy ballot would have gotten us down to one. Let’s make it Jethroe and/or Trouppe to finish the job.

Three turnovers on one play lol

Christmas Gift for the baseball ppl in your life 🚨

Grich and Whitaker should both be in, yes.

Indiana added a wall outside its team meeting room, when the North End Zone facility opened 15 years ago, for internal players of the game each week. Every year, that wall included a place for the Big Ten championship. This year, it will be filled. #iufb

I have written a book! It is available for sale now. It's a bunch of fun discussions about the leadoff man, including interviews with big names (Johnny Damon, Joe Mauer, John Smoltz, Mookie Betts, Kyle Schwarber and more), fun stories, best moments and, of course, rankings. Pick one up!

if Georgia beat a non-SEC team by 21 in the playoff, there would be hundreds of people on social media having a referendum on how the losing team shouldn't have been in over a four-loss SEC team

"guy running with football, pointing at defender as if his blockers need to see him and then realize they need to block" is the football equivalent of "pitcher points straight up at pop up," right?

my food take: Like what you want. To each his/her/their own. You don't get to tell me that something I like is "bad." It's, like, your opinion man.

😍 the one time i actually like getting mail

One of the most brutal things I've ever watched

yes, the NBA famously never has repeat champs or runs of championships from one team

so, yeah, it wasn't done yet, but this happens sometimes

We live in a tumultuous world. But I take solace in the fact that the 2010 University of Alaska Fairbanks hockey intro video remains the most unhinged thing I’ve ever seen.

And once again you can only shake your head and wonder how a group of people came together and decided it was a good idea to trade a player and person like this.

Forty years ago MLB teams opened their books to an independent economist and were proven to be lying liars who lied. Until they open their books that way again, let that be your default assumption about any claims they — and their media water carriers — make about their finances.

Dodgers spend 73% of their revenue; Brewers spend 41%

Bad teams play bad baseball, pt. N+1: Pirates start 3-5 with a BB and HBP against one of the worst starters in baseball. Sacrifice bunt! Pirates are 1-12 since. I’m sure they just need more revenue sharing and a payroll cap and maybe a pony.

Good morning

pretty much everything, but if i had to single something out, it's Rey being such a badass. One moment? I'll go with her using the force to get the lightsaber toward the end of Force Awakens. When the lightsaber flies by Kylo

Cade Horton with a 1.05 ERA in his last six starts. 0.00 in last four

this RULES

hell yes Bryce Harper!

It is objectively cooler to hit four ding dongs compared to not allowing a hit. Objectively. It is not debatable. bsky.app/profile/matt...

Not only is a 4-HR game far cooler than a no-hitter, I'm triggered at how many people seem to disagree with this opinion. 326 no-hitters vs. 20 4-HR games and look at the reaction from the masses all over social media or anywhere in personal interactions. So many more people care about no-nos. Sigh.

so the Cubs now have the best record in baseball but only a 1-game lead in their division. And the Tigers have the best AL record. Central Strong 💪
