Imagine what toy they put in the box

A poem by Amanda Gorman For Renee Nicole Good Killed by ICE on January 7th, 2026

Sorry to interrupt all the horrors with some good news, but I've spent nearly 7 years working on state legislation to increase accountability and transparency for charter schools, and today my bills were passed by the Senate and Assembly Appropriations Committees.

This is what it's all about folks

Easily the best thing I've written all year

The Braves Built the Ballpark Model that Squanders Your Tax Dollars by Daniel R. Epstein (@depstein1983.bsky.social) www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

I wrote about the rapidly escalating cost of public subsidies to build stadiums and their surrounding ballpark villages, and how much they hurt taxpayers. @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Players with 8 consecutive seasons with 100+ walks: Bobby Abreu Frank Thomas Max Bishop (old-timey 2B who was only good at drawing walks)

This is good and you should read it. By @matrueblood.bsky.social @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

The same goes for the World Baseball Classic. Participating nations should stand in solidarity with Venezuela and boycott.

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

Hello, new Bluesky followers. I write for Baseball Prospectus, usually publishing an article every Monday morning. Here's one of the best ones I wrote in 2025: www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Hi, BlueSky converts. Probably deserves some updating, but here's a list of baseball analytics nerds if that's up your alley. go.bsky.app/GZjLuxK

Is Paul Skenes already the greatest pitcher in the 144-year history of the Pittsburgh Pirates? If not, how much further does he have to go? www.baseball-reference.com/teams/PIT/le...

(I know this is not the point, but) this idiot cooked a nice steak, but made the mistake of cutting right into it instead of letting it rest to let the juices redistribute. That's why it all leaked out onto the plate and tasted dry.

I barely even know who either of them are. People need to find hobbies.

This week at @baseballprospectus.com we're publishing the best articles of the year. Everything is an absolute must read. This was one of the greatest regular season at bats you'll ever see, so I broke it down in detail, pitch by pitch. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

To pay off stadium bonds, Chiefs-related new spending would need to be $2.7B a year — for a team whose total revenue is less than a quarter of that. Each and every Chiefs fan would need to spend an extra $4,000 per game for Kansas to break even.

The Raiders and Giants aren't tanking! Definitely not! As they both scramble to put as many key starters on IR as possible before the game.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains.

BP is raising its price. The goal is to do it once and be done with it. The change goes into effect on January 1. Until then, it's just $46 for a year. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide no escape from reality Open your eyes look up to the skies and see I'm just a poor TINY TIM WHO DID NOT DIE, I need no sympathy Because I'm easy come easy go little high little low Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me

I made a Greek Christmas Eve dinner. One of the finest meals I've ever cooked. Details in alt text.

The American healthcare system considers this a positive outcome

Today is the last day to get BP360, our annual book/shirt/subscription promotion. It's also the last day to lock in our current rates before our price changes go into effect in 2026. It's a great last-minute gift, and a great way to support independent media.

Possibly! He's definitely reaching out to HOF voters directly to speak with them and share his propaganda website. I actually admire this strategy. It's what I would do if I was a borderline candidate. It's just too bad he's such a reprehensible person and a substandard player for the Hall.

another day going to the website where I go to post “holy shit!!!” after an incredible TD catch, and reading about how the most powerful people on earth have perpetrated the worst crimes imaginable with no repercussions, all before finishing my coffee. this is probably good for my mental health

Phillip Rivers makes me think that maybe Uncle Rico deserves a shot after all.

Catcher's inteferences are among the rarest plays in baseball, and no one really knows how to react to them. Here's what it looks like when they do. @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

In other words, the more they pay him, the more screwed their whole season is.

I'm gonna need the Yankees to sign Jeff Innis.

Latkes!

I rarely do this kind of interview journalism, but the moment called for nothing less. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Well, shit.

One of the reasons he's getting so much support is that he's actively lobbying to get elected. A number of voters have said he has contacted them, shared his HOF propaganda website, and tried to set up conversations with them.

It seems easy to say you run a low-cost model for a public school when you don't actually serve all the kids who come through the doors, especially those with special needs

Tomorrow is the last day to nominate a piece for a SABR award. You can even nominate yourself if you're so inclined! Link here: sabr.org/latest/seeki...

Heh, nice touch @baseball-reference.com
