I spend too much time googling which college baseball team is in which conference now. We need to RETVRN to the 1991 conference structure.

Extremely normal 2026 Mets preview over at For All You Kids Out There

They know you get on base by walking or hitting the ball hard, right?

“Piazza, New York Catcher” now

No idea who picked the playlist for the kid’s indoor playground today, but have heard “The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades” and “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” among the last few tracks.

I don’t really go in for the constant sugar rush in this state, but I may be addicted to Normal soft serve.

Lot of made up suburbs here so people don’t have to say they live in Salt Lake City (many of which are also trying to secede from the county)

That really should have been Daniel Palencia for four outs but

Yeah about that

Apparently it’s Saul Garcia who should not be allowed to pitch back to back with Luis Garcia while I am making dinner. And also shouldn’t face Yordan Alvarez with runners on.

Spring Training is all about learning things about your roster. Things like “Luis Garcia shouldn’t face Yordan Alvarez with runners on.”

Year 16 (yeah it’s a nice view)

Obvious Child is a good pull. I think mine would be See No Evil or I Zimbra

It’s always funny to see that picture pop up because one of my good friends has his picture right next to him (I bowled a bunch of tourneys there before it closed).

A pitching prospect could only be the best prospect in baseball once they are no longer a prospect. Nolan McLean might come the closest for a while though. www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

Tearing up what I was writing for tomorrow to do 1500 words on McLean. Vacation is over.

Iron Chef drinking game but take a shot every time Fukui describes a dish or part of a dish as “simply superb” when they review the menu.

I can’t use a bigger font

GOOD GOD, SPURS

Good god, Spurs.

I uh stand corrected.

Best player on the field this weekend in West Lafayette has been Oregon’s Maddox Malony. Strong defender at SS with the ability to hit for average and some sneaky pop at the next level.

People learning just how many sports things in this state have America First on them. (It’s a credit union. Uh founded in 1939)

I don’t know if a single pitch in the history of baseball has ever been shit on more than Junior Caminero right there.

The fastest I have ever bought anything

I can’t go to the Tony Leung retrospective, but you really should if you are in driving distance to NYC www.filmlinc.org/daily/film-a...

Also not helping

If I have heard of this many bands on it, it’s probably not a good lineup.

I am probably going to see Ben Folds play with the Utah Symphony for my birthday.

Real oil on canvas 19th century landscape painting kind of day

UCSB announcer talking about Utah getting out of the cold and buddy it was 65 degrees here today.

Somehow Utah has become incredibly baseball relevant since I moved out here.

Oh boy that “Surrounded” patch is great

Absolutely no idea what the Dortmund keeper was thinking with that pass. As bad as the foul was, it never should have gotten there.

I feel obligated to get a hat I guess.

Oh for sure man.

Could have used that for a few Yard Goats doubleheaders

Let’s. Fucking. Go.

Juventus just played the worst half of football I’ve seen from a non-Wednesday team this year, and it might have been worse than a couple Wednesday halves.

Every year I see some college and draft guys go gaga over someone who obviously has huge hit tool red flags and then they go like 23rd or something because teams can all read a TM printout and then they usually have bad contact rates in the pros too.

Did not know I needed a Jessica Pratt cover album, but it’s really good. music.apple.com/us/album/jes...

Can’t wait to wager on Kalshi which beer Nick Castellanos has in the dugout

My favorite February tradition. Getting the Annual before Craig even though he lives an hour from the warehouse.

Had a long discussion on Five and Dive about what hand Jon Garland threw with.

Kind of want the Uniqlo Sweden curling polo
