Placeholder for once the full details of the Dylan Cease signing are released. Here's what it looks like if there were no deferrals:

Incorporating opponent skill into WAR estimates for pitchers. In lieu of league average I am using a batters twOBA against that pitcher's hand in 2025 as the comparison for each plate appearance to calculate wRAA. Sum that, add in replacement ((20/600)*PA) and divide by 9.7. Includes playoffs.

Zootopia 2 was anti-Canadian copaganda

Just realized Pete Fairbanks and Kyle Finnegan were the same guy last year.

$41M for a guy in decline who is likely to break badly at any moment. No wonder he didn't cost anything of note in return.

On April 12th, the team that went on to win the World Series used the guy who hit their biggest homer of the year to face 14 batters. Don't get bogged down in any individual game no matter the perceived stakes.

My favorite part of Landman is when Billy Bob says, "I am the Landman."

Teams coming off bye weeks should play the Thursday night games. 10-day break, game, 9-day break.

Mama there go that man

Teams coming off bye weeks should play the Thursday night games. 10-day break, game, 9-day break.

Grok's posture is getting so much better. Work on that eye contact a bit more and we might have a star on our hands.

The 9-1-1 shows are just Paw Patrol for adults who just want some background noise while they scroll their phones.

Moral of the story is you can do whatever you want as long as you profit so excessively that you can pay for the consequences.

If the Os are prioritizing the present (rightly?) perhaps they would have interest in a little dealski like this:

Orioles mindset on Grayson Rodriguez reminds me of this scene in Bad Santa

Tanner Murray has yet to debut, but we have lukewarm offerings from Everson Pereira, Yoendrys Gómez and Steven Wilson thus far:

Sometimes you have to be honest with yourself about how much a guy is actually going to contribute. Bird in the hand worth two in the bush.

I would expect some interest in JJ Bleday even if not as a CF.

I finally saw @theonion.com's Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile and you should, too. Better than I expected with a mostly tight 20 minute runtime. The Spirit of ZAZ was alive and flowing. This part cracked me up and it wasn't alone:

I was surprised to learn that, per Wiki, there are nearly equal amounts of Jews and Muslims who call New York City, and the greater metropolitan area, home.

Put it in the Louvre

LMBO that there was an ICE recruitment advertisement directly following the most recent episode of @kthalps.bsky.social and Aaron Maté's podcast "Useful Idiots".

Too big too fail

GMs during sell season ticket season: YOU would not believe how HARD we’re going to go after the BEST free agents available. We’re gonna plug SO many HOLES GMs in March: I know the market was a bit pricier than we anticipated, but I like the upside and bounce back potential on all these guys.

Full season MLB Team Performance and Cumulative wOBA comparison:

Seeing a lot of James Bond talk, and I just want to put out there that he's half as interesting and a quarter of the man known as Sherlock Holmes. Never settle for marketing.

Hot coffee on a cold day >>> cold coffee on a hot day

When negotiating with someone who constantly lies I would trust their promises.

People who have never had to suffer the agony of a Pete Fairbanks appearance sure are ready to learn.

Day by day WFP gets stronger and stronger. No zealot like the convert, old guard. I would be scared, too.

I think Emmanuel Clase is reffing this Bills game in case he has a warrant out for his arrest or anything.

Lookit this dum bish

Seeing Cole Bishop come into his own has been a real treat these past few weeks. Having Maxwell Hairston eliminate that third of the field has to really help.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle proves the condition of the modern athlete is not so modern

Running Man was a perfect film that did not need a modern reboot.

Reminds of the producer charged with replacing the iconic Alex Trebek who thought he could do better than the guy born to do the job @kenjennings.bsky.social

Will Nancy get residuals on all that under the table money she has been able to amass over the years? Retirement isn’t easy for most.

Who lasted longer, Bob Kraft's son (unsure if he has a name) in this race or Bob Kraft on video getting a hand job from some desperate soul who had been trafficked into a life of sexual slavery?

Get ready

Where Trump won in 2024 really tells the tale of the tape

Seeing a disgusting loser get his ass kicked all over New York City really makes me miss the Mets

If you want the granular look at how the NYC mayoral candidates perform in neighborhoods across the city, you'll want to watch this precinct-level map, which will update as results start coming in.

For some folks, it must be awfully tough when people who know what they're talking about start to chime in.

Folks who have never voted in a NYS election before really showing their colors this morning. If you don't have a vote you can probably also keep your opinion, and ill-gotten gains, to yourself.

Finally watched The Substance, great flick, and while it wasn’t hard to grasp messaging, I kinda liked watching it through the lens of a single mom not knowing what to do with her insanely hot daughter who is finally going out in the real world for the first time.

This Rachel O'Donoghue writing at @honestreporting.com person seems like a real piece of shit. Viewing the world through a very narrow lens and rejecting anything that goes against that worldview should not be the mindset of an author. A propagandist, sure, but not someone to believe.
