Hey, SABR hasn't put both its feet into bluesky yet (I know, a lot of its people have) but this is a good time to remind you that the SABR Analytics Conference Research Awards are open for nominations. When you have a few minutes, please nominate some of your favorite baseball research from 2025.

In an effort to raise money I have catalogued and am selling my comic book collection. Many #1 titles, variants, but still a pretty mixed collection. The price I chose is based on average recent selling prices for ungraded issues; this lot is a great investment for those that will get them graded.

MARINERS FAM: Bee needs some help, and I’ve got some cards I’m willing to give away. If you’re interested in any of these, DM me – we’ll work out an amount, and I’ll mail you the card with proof of that donation to Bee. I’m thinking $50 for Woo, $40 for Bryce, and $20 each for the rest. GOMS

Reposting this 🧵 thread since apparently Seattle is still dying or whatever according to the Washington Post.

We talked this aplenty on the soon-to-drop @meetatthemitt.bsky.social Awards Show. Aaron Judge is a worthy MVP. I’ve no disparagements against him. But Cal Raleigh was worthier. He game-planned each start, called every pitch, had an impact on each game dwarfing Judge & all other non-catchers.

The Mariners look like favorites in the American League. For @lookoutlanding.bsky.social

Many of you know about the struggles my family and I have had lately, and how desperately we need to raise money to catch up to keep from homelessness. In that effort I am selling a somewhat rare signed promotional item of mine, one an article I wrote inspired, Death Cabby For Cutie.

Here is the eBay listing of the item, with the buy out price reflecting the fundraising goal. Signed by Death Cab for Cutie members Ben Gibbard, Jason McGerr, and Nick Harmer, and former Seattle Mariner José Caballero. ebay.us/m/ZxNeb1

The Mariners have reportedly signed Josh Naylor to a five-year contract, accomplishing their top priority of the winter. www.lookoutlanding.com/transactions...

It only took 25 days for @brittneybush.bsky.social to manifest Josh Naylor’s contract. Huge improvement over Cal Raleigh’s extension, which took 135 days.

Good for Andy Pages on getting "championship saving catch" in as a career defining moment before the world heard about "unknowingly foiling gambling plot by swinging at extremely obvious ball"

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

the thing about this is that a) small states do not have any interests that are inherent to their size (no less than james madison understood this) b) the senate is organized along party lines which makes the small/big distinction almost irrelevant and c) the filibuster has never been used this way

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

1) Text 3 friends and offer to help them get their ballots in 2) Ask your state reps to legalize even year elections. Democracy is strongest when more people vote and have their values and priorities shape our governments.

We are just one day out from the Seattle local elections! Only 17.6% of King County voters and just under 20% of Seattle voters have returned their ballots. So far, only 1 in 17 young gen Z voters have voted, compared to more than 1 in 3 boomers. Don't forget to vote if you are eligible and want to.
