I am an American in Mexico reading a book about Czech baseball written by a ghost @michaelclair.bsky.social

Had a lot of fun with this one: @mikepetriello.bsky.social and I each drafted our dream World Baseball Classic rosters. He gave me a lot of shit for my first overall selection, but I stand by it. www.mlb.com/news/2026-wo...

Denmark's hockey uniforms are 8/10 but I can't stop thinking I'm watching a Hurricanes vs (throwback) Jets game

Name 6 Rockies is fun, let's see 1 Doyle 2 Goodman 3 Moniak 4 Freeland 5 Senzatela 6 Sugano 7 Quintana 8 W Castro 9 Veen 10 Vodnik 11 Halvorsen 12 Tovar 13 Karros, maybe 14 Freeman 15 Feltner 16 Hill

More goals scored than shots allowed is something else

Alex Vesia read from a prepared statement when speaking to reporters this morning, thanking those who offered support after he and his wife, Kayla, lost their daughter during last year's World Series. Vesia's full statement:

A while back I said I wasn't sure if Castellanos would ever play again after 2025, and i think that still feels pretty likely

One thing I'm interested in seeing is if good-framing catchers will also be good-challenging catchers, and while I do get the sample size of "1" here ... Agustín Ramírez, of whom I've read multiple articles exploring how bad a receiver he is, was 15-3 (83%) in AAA challenges. Ah, well. data to come

As curling now seems to be the official sport of Winter BlueSky, I feel like I should go check this out gothamist.com/arts-enterta...

Giggling out loud on the subway because you saw "Joey Loperfido got traded back to Houston" is probably not the sign of a healthy mind

That excellent three-panel comic is also how i feel about baseball fans getting upset about 'running it back' sometimes

The Miami Incident sounds like a really bad 1992 action movie that I definitely would have watched three dozen times

Underrated but welcome 2026 rule change incoming, from @castroturf.bsky.social 3B coaches have to actually pay attention to the coaches' box: www.mlb.com/news/base-co...

"I have done some deer hunting up there, but wouldn't think that would make me the most-searched old, washed-up baseball player in 2025." The full, ridiculous tale of how one man made Kyle Farnsworth @baseball-reference.com's most searched pitcher in Iowa for 2025: www.mlb.com/news/kyle-fa...

Just about nothing on the face of the planet more predictable than "Antonio Senzatela finally trying to add a new pitch" with new leadership www.mlb.com/news/rockies...

🇺🇸How much harder will Team USA throw in this WBC? 🇮🇹 Italy going to slug a lot more? 🇩🇴 The hardest-hitting team may be .. ⚾️What sort of BABIP style do you get here? Using 2023 WBC data to look at the 2026 classic ... --> www.mlb.com/news/what-to...

Hey, cool new thing alert. I'm getting excited for WBC and so are you, so .. @darenw.com spun us up a World Baseball Classic Statcast search. 2023 data is included, and it'll have 2026 updated daily. So: hardest-hit balls in 2023? Yes: baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast-sea...

Just made an unprintable sound seeing the Corbin Carroll news ban hamates

Last year, a lot of the games on Baseball Savant said "no Statcast," as a lot of the spring parks weren't available. This year ... well, fun that you don't see that label baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?dat...

Laughing my ass off at the inclusion of “models” here. True hubris to say the computer will take the job of Being Attractive.

Remembering now how surprised everyone was when Bieber didn't opt out and ..

how long you got

I keep seeing from Yankee fans that lineup was only good against 'bad pitching' so, let's test that. (runs allowed/game, AL teams) Best 5: TEX, KC, CLE, HOU, BOS Worst 5: LAA, ATH, BAL, CHW, MIN As expected, NYY did better against weaker teams. Most do. But .. not by nearly as much as TOR.

This was Detroit's starting lineup the day Justin Verlander made his debut for the Tigers

lots of black ink on that e-ref page

we've known for *decades* that it was the cause of -- and solution to -- all of life's problems

I keep seeing this rumor about PIT wanting Isaac Paredes and I just cannot see this being a good fit. PNC is *the worst* park for righty homers, and him there means just a ton of flyouts to LF baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/...

wild AI story from the Olympics ice dancers were told to use songs "in the style of the 1990s." One Czech pair tried using AI to pump out a song to skate to, but their AI bot fully plagiarized "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals and they had to change it sports.beehiiv.com/p/olympics-d...

The prompt said to post a banger that isn't in English, so .. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0q0...

The Brewers just traded their *entire* 3B depth chart to Boston www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts....

Here's my initial hot take on the BOS/MIL deal: what

Two years later: well, yes www.mlb.com/news/outfiel...

Signing Marcell Ozuna means that McCutchen's career is over and and Ryan O'Hearn is going to have to play some LF? The 2026 lineup is wildly more interesting than the 2025 lineup was, just sort of confusing to see how the pieces actually fit together.

[punting on 4th and 1 is lame there]

well that's cool as hell

I may never be able to watch Star Trek ever again

excited for the Super Bowl Halftime Music Dance Experience

This is how I'm going to feel whenever they show Midtown Manhattan during the World Cup Final

Hey, you want to go see Coldplay with me // sure, I guess so. Hey, no way anyone makes fun of this on the literal Super Bowl, right .. no, definitely

Was that Twice Upon a Time in Hollywood

Hoping that we're all together watching Super Bowl C someday

Do they still flip an actual coin or is this a crypto thing now

The most important fact about this Super Bowl is that *two* quarterbacks from the 2024 New York Giants are rostered for this game

OK, locking in on the Super Bowl .. Seahawks still have Dave Krieg, right

Back in the day I'd have made an entire meal out of two former players not liking or understanding analytics, but I don't have it in me anymore is that growth

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

unsubscribe where is the manager

Dodgers claim playoffs starting catcher off waivers, wow, always finding that edge

45 years ago, the #BlueJays traded for a backup catcher. This is my story on Buck Martinez, all these years later. What a ride it's been. www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...
