I think I’d prefer Alonso to Schwarber but the one thing that does make me feel okay about the latter is that his bat speed is still top class and has remained constant in the time during which bat tracking data has been available

DUKE FOOTBALL ACC CHAMPIONS DRINK THAT SHIT IN

Guys I want to throw up/die

Thank you, CHEEZ-IT, for explaining the overtime rules

Ferrer had a 62.5% ground ball rate (!!!!) last year

Haaland is coming for you Mbappe protect your fucking neck

Even apart from the obvious bullshit this World Cup draw is a microcosm of modern sports. A bunch of rich dudes using celebrities with no moral compasses to create a gaudy spectacle solely to stroke their egos. The sport is secondary.

Drew Rasmussen hive stand up

If I interpreted this correctly and my math is right, Seibu would get a $28.125m posting fee if Imai signs for $175m

One could argue they have much greater breadth to make these alterations because each team can create whatever park dimensions they choose within the guidelines

Push so nice he made the list twice

Did the Blair Witch deliver my package

Taking their ball and going home because they spent money like dipshits on guys like Lee and Adames who were never going to be the middle of the order bats they need

No context needed

The 2026 Angels rotation would go so hard in 2023

Phil Foden you dirty fucking dog you

The dudes who straddle the line between effective zone-missing and complete lack of control scare the bejeezus out of me.

2025 Stuff+ leaderboard (qualified relievers)

DUKE IS ONE WIN AWAY FROM THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF YOU GUYS

Coming off of the worst season of his career but I like the Ryan Helsley signing. Huge stuff. Command can come and go but his home run rates last year feel fluky.

I will not be “sign somebody!” guy I will not be “sign somebody!” guy I will not be “sign somebody!” guy

We clown on Anthony Rendon but getting paid not to work is incredibly based

Mai I suggest a certain pitcher

Be interesting to see how Dick Fitts in St. Louis

If the Yankees were really losing money the entire league would be insolvent and Manfred would be on the phone trying to get Blackrock or the Saudis to buy a majority stake in each team yesterday

Manny Diaz ONIONS

Body parts that you can’t score with shouldn’t be factored into offside calls Change my mind

I thought the Donnarumma signing was unnecessary for City I am an idiot

NOTTINGHAM FOREST

Just when I thought they couldn’t get any dumber they pull a stunt like this

Between this and the Ward trade I feel like the Orioles are going to make a number of transactions that would get Jerry DiPoto all hot and bothered because the team as constituted does not fit

Jonah Heim went from one of the best catchers in baseball two years ago to non-tendered Cold world

I feel like Brady Anderson’s tenure as, uh, whatever he was with the Orioles was almost universally panned by anybody who had knowledge of the situation so yeah hope that works out for you Angels

Angels treating him like a Toyota Tercel

You ain’t solid, ain’t valid, you ain’t Malice open.spotify.com/track/0xaQ86...

Anybody feel like going halfsies on a jamón ibérico

Yeah put me in the “I think Grayson might be cooked but….okay?” camp regarding this trade

Uhhhh dare I say the USMNT vibes are….good?

Part of me thinks Imanaga is smart for taking the QO but the other part worries that he’s on the decline and lost his last chance at a multi-year deal

Totally forgot about this, but 2026 will mark the first significant drop-off in the deferred payments Chris Davis will get, which gives the Orioles almost $6 million more to work with if they so choose

When 10 year old me heard Nelly namedrop Jeff Gordon in EI

I will not be commenting on this matter any further. Thank you.

Genuinely don’t understand how anyone makes it through this time of year without their mental health falling into the fucking abyss I envy you

Look I know how beloved Jim is in our Orioles circle and I enjoy his commentary but this isn’t surprising to me in the slightest

Honestly wish someone would call him out for being corny and unfunny instead of continuing to encourage it

Y’all ever just have a structured settlement and need cash now

They get to write off the losses and we get a good team everybody wins here

You know what? Maybe.

Coaches intermingle between college and professional all the time? In all sports? What the fuck is he on about?
