My Instagram algorithm has become a lot of traditional Italian recipes lately and I decided to make one tonight. A pasta and chick pea stew that I never would have made otherwise. My god was that good. Unbelievable.

Just finished reading my fourth book of the year, putting me way ahead of last year’s pace where I finished my first book on March 24. Maybe this is finally the year I hit my reading goal.

Yankees 2025 8th round pick RHP Mac Heuer is also a champion in raising livestock, winning the 2022 Georgia Junior National Livestock Show's "Breeding Ewe" category:

Ironically, he leads the team in assists

Attention all aspiring baseball broadcasters: Join Jesse Goldberg-Strassler, Shawn Murnin, Emma Tiedemann, Nicholas Badders and me next Tuesday from 1-2 p.m. for a networking forum to help you break into the industry. Email me to RSVP!

A biopic worthy of making.

Probably either Spero Dedes or Stacey Dash

You're telling me Fartcoin wasn't a good investment?

you don't say? at some point we're going to acknowledge what every study ever on this subject has said, right? right? www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

This was a favorite headline of mine to write: www.milb.com/hudson-valle...

Can't believe Lindell TV didn't get the rights to this.

Who was MLB's first Black player? Not Jackie Robinson in 1947, not Moses Fleetwood Walker and his brother Weldy in 1884 … but William Edward White, in 1879. He passed for white for much of his life but, uniquely among MLB players, he was born a slave. ourgame.mlblogs.com/pioneers-wil...

Just saw the MLB Network clip saying Paul Skenes is experimenting with a new pitch called the sleeper, essentially a slow sweeper. Pitch was invented last summer by #Yankees minor leaguer Kyle Carr, and the name of the pitch was coined by, uh, me.

Should go on a permanent vacation

Alumni Day at Saint Peter’s as the Peacocks host Rider for a big MAAC matchup. Join JR DiNallo and I on ESPN+ for the fun at 2 pm!

Looked up JT Massey's minor league stats. He hit .239/.293/.343 across 1,217(!) ABs as a left-handed hitter with Low-A Asheville, where the dimensions are 297 ft to right field and 320 to right-center.

So in the last week the Mets have signed Bo Bichette, traded for Freddy Peralta and Luis Robert Jr, and added bullpen depth with Luis Garcia and Tobias Myers. Pretty solid.

Fernando Mendoza. Onions. Double helping.

Life’s simple pleasures

If you are against trans women participating in women's sports you are either willfully or maliciously denying reality and what study after study after study shows us.

Really, really interesting return for the Marlins in the Weathers trade. I think there’s an argument to be made that Dillon Lewis is the best OF prospect the Yankees had in the org and will be a Top 100 prospect by the end of the year.

A Night at the Opera

Always good to see dril doing the lord’s work

You know it’s a great MAAC Hopps matchup when both @dalydoseofhoops.bsky.social and Sam Federman have spots at the media table. Saint Peter’s (7-6, 4-1) hosts Merrimack (10-7, 6-0) at 2 pm inside Run Baby Run Arena. Join Dom Patrick and I on ESPN+!

I will always have a soft spot for Jay Payton.

Dallas really could've used an elite defender on their team this year. A Micah Parsons type, for example.

Worth noting that there are several recent members of the Yankees player development staff now working for the Marlins. So there is definitely a familiarity with any potential prospects that would be involved in a trade.

After Saturday night's 62-48 road win at Towson, Monmouth made a massive jump in both NET and KenPom rankings today: 🏀 NET 238 to 217 🏀 KenPom 240 to 219

James Madison played a closer game with Oregon than Texas Tech did.

Having Third Eye Blind perform "Semi-Charmed Life" at halftime of the 2026 Orange Bowl is a bizarre choice. One of those really, really dark songs that is masked by it's upbeat melody.

Glad to see Abreu and Wright picking up some steam this year. DW was my favorite player growing up and while I'm not sure that he's a HOFer because of the injuries, I'm happy that he's getting enough support to stay on the ballot.

Excited to round out 2025 and welcome in 2026 with some college basketball: 🏀12/29 - Saint Peter's vs. Quinnipiac WBB - 3 pm (ESPN+) 🏀1/2 - Saint Peter's vs. Marist MBB - 7 pm (ESPN+) 🏀1/3 - Monmouth at Towson MBB - 7 pm (Monmouth Digital Network)

It's really incredible how the @poptartsbowl.com has become the best bowl game by far so quickly because the team planning it just gets it.

If I ever heard a friend say this, they wouldn't be my friend anymore.

Barbaric behavior from those who voted yea. This is not what happens in a country that respects individual rights.

James Nelson has one of the best seasons in Atlantic League history in 2025. He hit .315/.395/.575 with 34 homers and 53 steals in 124 games. In the first 26 seasons of the Atlantic League, no hitter had ever had a 30-30 season He's our 2025 Independent Player of the Year: buff.ly/XMFC1R8

Incredibly disappointed the both New York senators voted to strip a group of their fundamental human right to exist as a member of society.

Can confirm the Red Sox have named Ben Buck director of pitching. Had reported last week Buck was a finalist for the job. Buck was hired last year from the Yankees and has been a key piece of the Red Sox pitching development infrastructure www.nytimes.com/athletic/687...

Fun fact: Vince Guaraldi's soundtrack for this was put on a Jazz record label called Fantasy, and was the highest-selling album the label put out until a few years later when the label signed Creedence Clearwater Revival and became more of a rock label.

Really enjoying watching and listening to Adam Giardino calling Villanova-Georgetown women’s hoops on Peacock tonight. He’s been a mentor and friend since I was in college, and I absolutely am not where I am without him in so many ways. Talented broadcaster and an even better person.

I have the ball hit by Mike Piazza for his first triple as a New York Met (from Memorial Day 2002)

I successfully filed a FOIA request while doing Secondary Lead (actually was denied and filed a successful appeal). I'm not sure how this request would be successful.

Ridiculous. How are they supposed to play baseball when the players can't even fit in the building?

Bob Chesney going from Holy Cross in the Patriot League to UCLA in the Big Ten in three years is a crazy rise. Love that he’s a D3 guy, too
