Realizing Jeb! Bush did the Sam! Seaborn and having a good time

Every so often we have a post at BP that gets someone to ask, exhausted, why we can't just stick to sports. That thought is based in an idea of how something oughta be instead of how it is. It would be nice to be devoid of politics, whatever you think that looks like. It's also wildly impractical

Deeply embarrassing for a major outlet to hire a disgraced former executive. What's next, ranking the best sites for sports gambling?

Getting jacked up for baseball season

just a quick note on PECOTA: Super-premium subscribers can access it right now, via the spreadsheet Tim mentions, but also leaderboards which update daily, and player cards (daily), and fantasy tools like The Ax (daily). Premium subscribers will get PECOTA access starting 2/10 during PECOTA Week

Today at BP, I wrote about having modern thoughts on baseball while listening to a record from 1971 that would never get produced now. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

I think sending out a robo-call about school having regular hours tomorrow is uniquely stupid and cheap, especially if noting neighborhood roads could cause delays (and exceptions) for students

We're into the third week of draft season coverage at BP. Today kicks off second base week, which, if I do say so myself, is just a neat position: www.baseballprospectus.com/fantasy/arti...

Philadelphia area constituents incensed at "bobo" td leading to devastating playoff moment that doesn't include the Eagles

Gronk focused so much on football he never realized or cared that his speaking voice is the same as a patient who escaped from a Weird NJ-style sanatorium

Packers never have to worry about Gannon tuning out during the Super Bowl if they keep committing to never making it. Smart

Imagine being this big of a fucking loser

I'm positive I'm not the first person to note it but the government murdering people named Good and Pretti feels a little on the nose

We don't even need to dunk on the guy with the Just A Question immigrant post, we just have to make fun on him

Ben Davis is a turbo-charged Delco doofus. However,

I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.

The Brewers enjoying the scent of their own farts leading to fueling the Mets' relevance just means my hater heart expands in a 2-for-1 deal. This is the kind of consumer-friendly action America needs

A revenue-sharing recipient possibly trading away an ace who costs a measly $8 million is a much bigger problem for MLB than anything the Dodgers are doing.

I also wrote on the state of catcher at large, through a fantasy lens but also generally. It's pretty healthy, relative to past years www.baseballprospectus.com/fantasy/arti...

I wrote something that felt pretty straightforward about the Phillies re-signing J.T. Realmuto, a team and player many people have many opinions about. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

My mom's healthcare got more expensive and much worse, so she can only afford 7 houses

Man I just need people to stop saying JT is still good and his defense is still strong cause it's just not true

No wait not like this

Phillies cooked, huh

The last time someone posed like this was Hamlet, and we all know how that ended. So there's hope yet

I was trying to go to bed

Any season the Dodgers don't win the world series will be hilarious

Steve Cohen is a hilarious good-for-nothing owner

The Dodgers told the Ricketts they didn't have to pay Tucker cause they'd just let them hold a World Series ring and the Ricketts thought yeah that's all we really want anyway

Honestly, Michael, what could a Kyle Tucker cost? $60 million?

40-Samad guys on a roster, someone's gotta go

It's here, and so is Nick Kurtz doing a Joe Pesci face looking up at you: www.baseballprospectus.com/fantasy/arti...

"[Surprise Factor] is another window to look through, and every room is different" The Arsenal Metrics are both analytical tools and storytelling tools, and Tim does both excellently here. @timjacksonsays.bsky.social www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Happy for Ranger. Better the Red Sox than the Mets.

Hope everyone is having a hydrated Water Wednesday

I've got Bob Dylan's Don't Think Twice stuck in my head right now and don't have time to do anything but share that with you all, here's hoping everyone sleeps easy into Monday

First state of the position for BP's fantasy season is filed, for first base. Draft season coverage at the site kicks off tomorrow. Come join us: www.baseballprospectus.com/subscriptions/

I have a Rick Steve book to listen to on the way to work tomorrow, you should too

two plays ago: wow they're gonna do, gonna score easy. now, two plays later and -1 yard: ha ha ha

it'll be a miracle to win this game with this many killer penalties. just absolutely blowing themselves up

arms around a receiver before the ball is anywhere near him, I don't understand what pass interference is at all

lmao at Brady saying he rolls his eyes at a quarterback getting a flag

watching this game makes my brain feel like it's going to go down my throat and splurt out my ears

i feel like trying to pick on quinyon early to try to jar him worked the first drive but won't last for long

the Sirianni and AJ thing is gonna get blown up but I don't think it's that big of a deal. a coach getting on the guy who insists on having the ball for not being able to catch it feels like a thing that should happen

did someone tell AJ that it's the middle of the season again

oh HELL yeah i am HERE for this bumper music

would really love Jalen to just pocket one of these handoffs and take the first down himself

Saquon running like the Niners told him Bosa likes Trump more

i feel like trying to pick on quinyon early to try to jar him worked the first drive but won't last for long
