The Rich Hill Experience is not to be missed. blogs.fangraphs.com/rich-hill-is...

This dude plays as hard as anybody out there. Love to see him getting a shot.

Nobody in the game is doing it like @davyandrewsdavy.bsky.social right now.

You won't find a more detailed recap of Kansas City's 2025 draft class than what I've put together here.

The depth of amazing players in women's tennis right now is a nice contrast to the way Sinner and Alcaraz are absolutely dominating the men's side.

Kansas City may be known for BBQ, but our taco scene is arguably just as strong. KCUR's Up To Date wants to hear from you: What Kansas City restaurants are serving the tastiest tacos in the metro?

I can't do the whole top ten albums thing because I'm currently obsessed with PUP and would have their entire discography in there because I'm the king of recency bias.

Stadium leverage ends up being a long game of chicken, where the two (or more!) sides issue ultimatums and hope no one calls their bluff. And while sports team owners aren't always good at this, all evidence is that elected officials are much, much worse.

Leaked footage from the Associated Press, shows United States security contractors, firing on unarmed Palestinians at food collection stations in Gaza. But they want you to believe, Palestine Action Group, Bob Vylan and Kneecap are the problem

I wrote up Cam Cannarella, who has been one of my favorite college baseball players to watch over the past three years despite playing injured for two of them.

Evergreen post.

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza. Truly an atrocity built on atrocity. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

"Where I was stationed, between one and five people were killed every day. They're treated like a hostile force – no crowd-control measures, no tear gas – just live fire with everything imaginable: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars. ... Our form of communication is gunfire."

Buy my book! It kind of is crucial to understanding the moment we’re in, if I say so myself:

Fear of the New York City subway is a mark of low moral character. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-subway...

Come for serious analysis of the Rafael Devers trade, stay for equally serious analysis of absurd Christian baby hypotheticals courtesy of Quora.

Compton seemed like a potential first rounder coming into the spring, had a down year but could still be a good get for somebody later on day one.

I wrote up Ethan Conrad, an outfielder for Wake Forest that could have played his way into the top half of the first round if not for a shoulder injury that ended his spring early.

In which Tom Walter (homophobia) and Kevin O'Sullivan (bullying) are added to my shit list.

Guys, you know that buying a mortgage isn't the same as buying land, right? Unless of course you're just looking for ways to get "Royals" and "Kansas" into a headline to throw a scare into Missouri, in which case, nice outside-the-box thinking there.

Happy Regional day to all who celebrate. Everything you need to know for the opening round of the baseball tournament is in this episode, have a listen.

tired: people AI-generating rando images of themselves as anime WIRED: AI’s energy use already represents as much as 20 percent of global data-center power demand, new analysis has found

Dealing in the desert. 45-year-old Rich Hill retires all 12 batters he faces, striking out 7, in his @Kansas City Royals organizational debut! Every single ACL Cubs hitter he faced was not born when Hill was drafted by Chicago in 2002. #RaisingRoyals👑

This is excellent. newrepublic.com/article/1947...

With Hyde out in Baltimore, that's three managers axed before Memorial Day. This feels like some sort of record but I can't find historical managerial firing data anywhere.

Missouri Senate Republicans invoked a rarely used rule to repeal the abortion rights amendment and the paid sick leave law approved by voters in November. On both counts, the state GOP overturned the will of the people. missouriindependent.com/2025/05/14/m...

Very fun episode for you all; we break down every big series coming this weekend, discussing postseason implications ahead of conference tournaments and we wrap with our softball regional picks open.spotify.com/episode/4f5U...

I'm not rooting for Royals pitchers to get hurt, but Rich Hill needs to pitch in the majors for them this season.

Poisoning the air of a Black community for a fucking chatbot.

I restarted my computer recently and now every time I wake it from sleep mode I have to run the automated troubleshooter to make the audio work.

In my first prospect analysis of this cycle, I took a look at Wehiwa Aloy, who is putting together a heck of a season at Arkansas but has some questions around his hit tool and glove work.

One of my finest alliterative headlines yet.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Relatable.

Placing the stop before or after a signalized intersection both have pros and cons. Generally far-side is preferable because it reduces conflict between buses and right turning traffic and it allows pedestrians to cross behind the bus instead of in front.

It's never too early to start thinking about the MLB draft - here's what you need to know.

Missouri House Republicans gave initial approval yesterday to a proposed constitutional amendment that essentially repeals the abortion rights measure that voters just passed in November. It would make abortion illegal again, with limited exceptions for rape, incest and medical emergencies.

My thoughts from a few weeks ago in the wake of Jackie Robinson's removal from the DoD website.

This is our most unhinged episode of the year, in part because @brendanstepek.bsky.social drank an entire handle of bourbon over the course of the recording.

Missouri voters constantly voting for people that actively want to make their lives worse.

Case in point.
