Super pumped to share our appearance on Rates and Barrels! We shared some sleeper prospects with @enosarris.bsky.social and Derek VanRiper, talked about Noah Schultz's call-up and fantasy impact, and correctly spelled Jadher Areinamo's name on air. Catch the pod!

Missed my q and a today. Just stupid traveling, not following normal schedule stuff. My bad. If you had a question you wanted answered, I can answer here or in the discord.

Ten pitchers that have changed their arsenal the most, with Joey Cantillo's new tunnel-able breaking ball pair, Jack Kochanowicz's new arm angle, Jose Soriano's new mix, Kodai Senga's new mix and velo... and more. t.co/SNzdmDYrTLht...

Took in a Randy Vasquez gem, saw Brandon, did the fourth inning meetup, had Puesto tacos and a .394 ale, did the San Diego thing.

Eggy at the Belly Up in Solana Beach last night. What a venue.

At the Jeff Tweedy show, insanely jealous that he’s on stage with his two sons

I've been talking to Logan Gilbert since he was in Modesto 7 yrs ago. It’s been fun to watch him grow. Gone is the curveball he had in minors. Gone are the slumped shoulders of his rookie year. Gone is the sweeper. Here is Walter, with a power slider, power splitter, power curve. t.co/YxuBFQ2BMz

"I don't care what kind of equipment you've got..."

Drew Rasmussen didn't throw a single curve today. New version gives me Chad Patrick vibes. Like high-end version, sure, but it's a weird way to come back. Not quite the same guy he was.

Nathan Church baby

Noticed @enosarris.bsky.social raised him a double digit number in his SP ranks in the last week and I'm fully ready to be hurt

New ranks! www.nytimes.com/athletic/712...

who needs cocaine, etc

I am enjoying this WBC baseball game. It's fun when guys like Emmanuel De Jesus -- who has bounced around, to KBO and back -- get huge strikeouts against Shohei Ohtani. It's fun when guys are so fired up.

I'll be in Phoenix, Arizona for the SABR Analytics conference (AL-LABR draft Saturday, panel Saturday) and so we will meet up, if you like, to have suds and talk, at The Whining Pig (downtown one), Saturday night, 6pm-8pm.

No surprise that, given how nasty he looked, Ryan Weathers joined the top ten starting pitchers in spring training Stuff+. Might be surprised by the other Yankee next to him though.

this is so god damn funny
