Close enough, welcome back Knight Bus

Really having trouble getting past the rage I feel thinking about the same people who use women’s sports as a political cudgel against trans folks also using them as the punchline for their jokes.

I would like to hear Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski call a baseball game

*new* from me: As pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, three front office staffers spoke to me about helping Latino baseball players and their families navigate an America ravaged by ICE raids. They say guidance from MLB has been “minimal” so their teams are getting creative.

The ETFE roof trend is really taking off

No, we have Nick Sogard at home :/

It's February and the Phillies STILL haven't released Nick Castellanos yet?!!!

Refreshed Stuff+ training set, removed 2020-2021 to reflect changing pitch environment. Batters have seen the sweeper, and adjusted, so Stuff+ should too. Biggest Stuff+ losers below, some sweeper-guyers there. Will be on FanGraphs shortly, in meantime on ranks here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/701...

I barely passed geometry in high school, and now I'm yapping about pitch angles with @marksimon.bsky.social on SIS's latest podcast episode!

At @baseballprospectus.com today, I wrote about what it feels like to have whatever barriers you’ve placed between yourself and the horrors shatter, through the lens of Saturday’s murder overlapping with TwinsFest: www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Independent journalist @laurajedeed.bsky.social wrote about being hired by ICE after a 6-minute interview for SLATE. There's a myth that ICE is highly trained (as if that justifies their consistent violence) but truly, they'll hire anyone as long as they follow orders. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This is surreal. I’ve been reading the works of the other nominated authors for as long as I can remember. Honored to be in their company.

From Garrett Crochet to Kyle Harrison, the Boston Red Sox will feature a plethora of southpaws in 2026. #redsox #boston #dirtywater

The young right handed starter has made improvements during his time with the Red Sox, but the writing seems to be on the wall for his future in Boston. #redsox #boston #dirtywater

Salary arbitration plays a crucial role in how MLB players are compensated before reaching free agency. Here's a breakdown of how the process works. #redsox #boston #dirtywater

The United States is one of the four most important baseball-playing countries on Earth. After they launched an attack on another of that Big Four, big questions loom. #mlb

Join us in wishing Sandy Koufax a happy 90th birthday! Some Hall of Fame advice from the legendary lefty: “I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it.”

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer stepped up once again on Christmas Eve as his very shiny nose helped guide Santa's sleigh through the dense fog.. This performance will go down in history for the generational reindeer!

The trade for Willson Contreras solved one problem for the Boston Red Sox, but still leaves a hole at third base. Is it time to buy into the youth movement and move on from Alex Bregman? #redsox #boston #dirtywater

The Red Sox acquired a player with the last name Bennett on the eve of Jane Austen’s 250th birthday?!

The new Ken Burns documentary is on PBS right now.

The Philadelphia Phillies' star first baseman may demand a trade this winter, but he'd be an expensive short-term Band-Aid for a much bigger problem. #redsox #boston #dirtywater
