Change a baseball player by adding a letter: Stan Musical

World Baseball Classic starts this week! Since you probably can’t watch every game, 24 hours a day, I looked at the top 10 : www.mlb.com/news/world-b...

Wow! This is quite an honor. I'd like to thank SABR and the @baseballprospectus.com editors for giving me the freedom and opportunity to make a bunch of music puns in an article about center fielders.

This is good and you should read it

Our remodeling company meets the level of excellence set by the Rockies

I mean…yeah, you can’t really just steal a logo like that

This could've been such an easy PR win. Imagine if the cops showed up to the snowball fight... and joined in?

Really happy to see this. The Athletic is adding a bunch of great former Washington Post staffers to our roster and greatly expanding our coverage of the Nationals, Commanders, and D.C. sports as a whole. Their loss is our gain, and our readers' gain. www.nytco.com/press/the-at...

George Lombard Jr. looked like an absolute dude yesterday. Hit a 109 mph EV double and made a Gold Glove caliber throw to nail a runner on a dribbler. He might have the best infield arm in the minors.

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets. Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

NYY has the Gas Station, a state-of-the-art pitching lab on the premises. Most other franchises have something similar. THE ANGELS DON'T HAVE RADAR GUNS SET UP TO MEASURE VELOCITY the same big brain org that skips the minors for their top prospects and traded for Grayson Rodriguez w/o a physical

Some team is going to make him an offer he can't refuse

In three weeks he'll be on a commercial for a GLP-1

Holy crap! I just realized Hey Man Nice Shot is the sequel to Do You Wanna Take My Picture!

Baseballs are not perfectly round. At this level, the height and orientation of the seams could clip the zone? It all just seems like something trying to seem more precise than it is.

just got my 2026 baseball prospectus, which means one more plug. i wrote player comments for the angels, a team that has betrayed fond childhood memories and pisses me off badly. @rileybreck.bsky.social wrote the essay. buy it here: www.baseballprospectus.com/baseball-pro...

This boy is 19 years old looking like young ARod

I think my biggest takeaway from ABS so far is that people really, really, really do not give umpires enough credit for how great they are at a truly difficult job

Officers responding to a planned 80s karaoke were Rick rolled Officers responding to a planned roast were asked if they smell bacon Officers responding to a planned murder mystery were falsely accused of stabbing an actor through the armpit with a foam sword

Really having trouble getting past the rage I feel thinking about the same people who use women’s sports as a political cudgel against trans folks also using them as the punchline for their jokes.

Excited for Michael’s book and damn, there are some great ones in this lineup.

My son tried to measure the snow with a ruler. I guess we'll find the ruler again sometime in March.

I know lots about hockey, thanks to Gordon Bombay. The flying V is unstoppable in sudden death overtime.

I don't watch much hockey and I'm shaky on the terminology. What is a cuhChuck and how many does each team get?

Tigers spring road uniforms are at least 70-grade. This is my first take of the 2026 season.

He's accidentally 100% correct.

The end of tariffs is great, but prices for consumers aren't going to come down. They never do. Corporations will keep prices the same and increase their profit margins. The damage of tariffs is going to be at least partially irreversible.

haven't gotten my book yet but just seeing now that i share a byline with riley. this is not how my 13-year-old self would've drawn it up but we'll take it i wrote the LAA player comments. @euqubud.baseballprospectus.com did not know i am a disenfranchised angels fan. i barred no holds.

Well, look at this! @justinklugh.bsky.social

His sister-in-law has been hired to take his place as the No. 2 at the union. (Kidding)

The parity discussion boils down to owners having problems with other owners, then blaming players and using it as false pretense to try to take more money from players, which wouldn't fix the problems anyway.

Why should "keep baseball on the field" be on the players if there's a lockout enforced by the owners? As a reminder, even if the bargaining agreement expires, baseball can still continue without a contract, as it did in 1994 before the strike. Canceling games is the owners' choice.

Co-sign. Trying to predict how and when the next CBA will be signed is like predicting who will be the first reliever out of the bullpen in World Series Game 7 when they haven't started playing spring training games yet.

I've been president of my labor union for nine years, and I've never had a scandal, misappropriated funds, given a job to a mistress (never had a mistress and don't intend to), or resigned in disgrace. Apparently, that's harder to accomplish than I realized. Please clap.

I've been writing about baseball since 2017. Here's a sentence I've never written before: I'm excited about the Pirates. Season preview today @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Anything from Short Music for Short People

It's so easy to just not do this. Has he tried not doing this?

This is the worst thing happening in baseball. It is happening all the time and nearly every team is doing it. And a lot of prospect media is complicit.

This is fun! You should read it. Now I'm even more pumped for the WBC.

I'd be the guy in the 1886 St. Louis Maroons Jack Glascock jersey.

Great day for the 2026 BP Annual to arrive

Olympics have been going on for weeks and they still haven't started ice dressage yet. What gives?

I still think he was safe

This is how teachers ended the 6-7 thing

Was an absolute pleasure to join @lastcallbaseball.bsky.social. Please take a listen if international baseball and rock n roll music is of interest to you.
