This was a fantastic read from a fantastic collection of contributors. Go and give my review and read and if you like the sound of it, go and grab a copy yourself!

Don’t like to moan about umpires, but wow this is poor. Zone has been significantly bigger for the Giants today…

Nice to be on a hot streak going into the first home stand, especially with it being an early game I can watch… Hope everyone enjoys there Friday night watching a HOF pitcher deal

I love stories like Koss, and I felt it was best to wait till after his debut to write about him. Seeing his wife and daughter supporting him was absolutely the highlight of that game for me! lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

Enjoyed writing this one a lot, big thank you to @blandalytics.pitcherlist.com, this really is an ode to Process+ and it’s brilliance!

WILMER FLORES. Some really impressive at bats this innings, long may they continue

Wow what an at bat by Ramos, I’ve missed seeing him do his thing the past few months that’s for sure

GB baseball have released their advertisement to hire a new head coach. Just submitted my application along with my 30 year OOTP save, wish me luck!

Perhaps forgot it’s not opening day today… but on the plus side I have two articles out today! lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202... lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

Roupp vs Birdsong for spot 5 now. Sad to see Harrison struggle but was definitely the right call

I’m a little late to the news but wanted to thank Drew Spencer for everything he has done for British baseball. Whilst it sucks to see him leave, every Brit hopes he can continue to thrive in pinstripes and keep making a name for himself. There is no one more deserving than him.

Hi all, I don't like to be political on here. I'm English and have never been to America so why should I talk about it? I like to focus on baseball and baseball only. It has now reached a point where politics has interfered with baseball in a devastating way. This is my take on it from the outside

A question for a @batflipsandnerds.bsky.social article I’m writing, I promise it’s related to baseball… Would you employ person 1 or 2? Please like the one you would and if you have time comment on why, particularly if you’ve been involved in hiring processes!

Eldridge and Jordan being scratched is really unfortunate. Particularly was excited to get a look at Jordan. Should be fun none the less!

Another article from me, this time of Doval and why last year was not anything to be too worried about. lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

Jung Hoo Lee mentioned! Darius is a big Giants fan so like all of us he knows how good Lee is.

NEW POD! 🎙️ We’re talking 2025 Breakout Candidates, latest news and some silly Spring Training stat lines! ⚾️ Tune in at the usual places or on YouTube at the link below! youtu.be/lia46ibOaMI?...

It's been a really fun spring training so far. Not just because we keep winning, but the competitions going on. Love to know your opinions on all the competitions in camp so far! lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

Yaz is a good baseball player but an even better person. This is my take on those that feel he’s not good enough. Plus a celebration of the great work he does outside of baseball. lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

It is finally time I try and find a way to visit Oracle Park. Any tips from people on getting to San Francisco from England. Plus, on the other side what places to stay at and things I gotta do! Cost is unsurprisingly the main issue so any money saving tips are equally as helpful! Thank you all :)

What a fantastic interview that was with Ramos! Loved his honesty and he’s just a great story of persistence. So many wrote him off at 22, 23 years old

Don’t think it should be with the Giants, but I do hope Villar gets a shot somewhere this year. It will be interesting to see if he gets through waivers or not at the start of the year…

Happy international women’s day to everyone. I’d like to take a second to talk about the incredible sport of cricket and the success it continues to have for women. ‘The Hundred’ has been highly controversial for its radical format but has been amazing for the women’s game.

Wade and Lee setting it up for a Chapman bomb makes me very happy. Love pre-season, so much optimism and excitement

Congratulations to Lawrence Butler for his extension, really like him as a player so nice to see the Athletics appreciating his talent! Gotta keep hold of players like him as long as possible.

Really enjoyed writing this one, so let me know if you enjoy this type of article! lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

Writing a piece on the recent success in international free agency for the Giants. Although we may only have one top-100 prospect, this farm is better than people give it credit for! Wouldn't be shocked if two of the guys I'm writing about are in there at the end of the year.

Interesting bit in the Giants notes on MLBTR. Yankees offered Stroman for Rodgers, which we turned down to later do the deal with the Reds instead. I can’t make my mind up on what I think on this. Think Stroman was probably a good miss, but we did get very little for Rodger’s in the end.

That point in spring where we begin to talk about out of option players. This year in particular there are a couple that could go either way… lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

Looks like the race to be the fifth starter is going to be an exciting one. 7 scoreless innings between Roupp, Harrison and Birdsong last two days is a good sign

Landen Roupp really making a case to be the 5th starter. I think we’ll see him this season as a starter at some point as the minimum. He looked good again!

Can’t believe my eyes, the Giants are on TV today. Free game of the day too for those who don’t have MLB.TV!

Robbie Ray will play a big part for the Giants, and after reading @miguardado.bsky.social's amazing article about his conversations with Skubal. I thought I'd discuss what we can expect from him! lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

The Giants have some impressive young arms, all of which also have their flaws. I thought I'd weigh up who's going to be the fifth starter. Who do you think is set to have a big year? lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

Wow Luciano, there’s that power we know he’s got

Went to go and watch one of the games from yesterday and the WBC qualifiers are on. If that isn’t a stroke of luck I don’t know what is.

Article about Eldridge is live, including that impressive home run. Thanks to one of the wonderful editors for adding that in! I still remain cautious on Eldridge, he’s definitely the real deal. Just please don’t rush him out of sheer desperation. lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

Gonna give the podcast a proper push this year. Would love your help with ideas. The base would of course be ‘the last week in Giants baseball’ but I wondered about other things to make it unique to me. Analytics? Cricket? Feel free to give me any idea you’d be interested in hearing about!

Literally wrote an article today on Eldridge and why we need to be patient. Then he blasts one 450… Don’t jinx it, but I think we may have a special talent on our hands

Words can’t explain my disappointment in being unable to watch the Giants tonight. 8pm start my time too, would’ve sorted out my evening beautifully

Feels good to have baseball back, felt wrong not waking up and scrolling through all the scores that happened whilst I was fast asleep

Had the pleasure of record a podcast with the legendary @javiipeno.bsky.social yesterday for LockedOn Padres. Please go check it out and if you enjoy let me know! It’s available basically everywhere you get your podcasts as well as YouTube!

No Vlad extension. No postseason success. An expiring window. The Blue Jays front office is at a crossroads—how should they handle this season? #BlueJays #MLB @lwosbaseball.bsky.social @ibwaa.bsky.social lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

Another Giants article, a fairly scathing review of the backup catcher situation. Would love to know your thoughts on it all too! lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

I don’t know about you, but Marco Luciano confuses me. This is my take on him, and whether he’s got a shot to make a difference this year lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

Ahead of the new season, I’m now officially the Giants writer for LWOS! My first article in this new role is about Jung Hoo Lee so hope you enjoy :) lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

Another nerd fest, just talking about the best batting stats and then focusing on Arraez and average. There’s a question in there I hope someone will get! I personally would have no clue without Fangraphs… batflipsandnerds.com/2025/02/13/l...

Zaidi back to the Dodgers did get a wry smile out of me. Like he was an undercover agent the whole time. Admittedly, I felt he took more stick than he deserved at times.

That strip sack is my signal to go to bed. Roll on baseball season!

Part of me wishes this was a closer game for entertainment purposes. Most of me is enjoying that Butker has not even had a kick for points.
