Yesterday, Arlington played like it never plays. Like a hitters’ park. Well, it played that way for the Rangers, at least. Jacob deGrom (6 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 3.18) had no problem. Took him 260 starts and 13 years to get 100 wins. This was win 101, and now he’s […]

Imma put together a time capsule. Get in there discontinued foods we love — the Pudding Pops, the Viennetta ice cream cake, the beef tallow-fried McDonald’s fries. Get in there stash of Ernest Scared Stupid laserdiscs. We’ve even gonna stash celebrities who we didn’t know everything about like pre-2000’s Hulk Hogan. Finally, in this time […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, a Yankees’ beat writer reported that Aaron Judge was referred to Dallas to see a doctor who specializes in thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). Ya know, the injury that ends careers. This began a series of events that went like this: This is DefCon 1, do you hear me! DefCon1! Cut the red wire! Or […]

Logan Webb finally returns to the ace pitcher you drafted. Or so you thought! Were you thinking that? I don’t know what you’re thinking. Hold on, let me mind meld with you. [pinches temples, wavy lines indicating I’m now inside your mind] I can now read your mind. You are thinking, “Me so dwunky on […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?One thing I want you to know about Noah Cameron is I loved him in the preseason. I wrote a Noah Cameron sleeper. That sorta love doesn’t just evaporate. I’m too invested for that. I’m like the guy who bought $5,000 worth of ButtCoin fifteen years ago, and is like, “I know, by now, it […]

Fantasy Baseball Overlord mainlines O. Henry stories, huh? It’s like, “Here ya go, you peasant,” the Fantasy Baseball Overlord says, “I will give you Edwin Arroyo.” We collapse and genuflect towards the almighty. Then the FBO adds, “And I will take Elly De La Cruz. Bye-bye, suckers!” NOOOOOOOO!!! Not like this! But it’s too late, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I was expecting regression from Munetaka Murakami. There’s just no way he could keep up with what he was doing. You don’t strikeout that much and not slump tremendously. Regression I was prepared for. Regression I could handle. Not an injury! Not like this! Nooooooo!!! I screamed into the abyss and waited and waited. Finally, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Blake Snell had loose bodies removed, which is basically the end of every party in LA. If you’re not having loose bodies removed, and you’re at an LA party? I’m sorry, you got Carvel serving Fudgie the Whale? Because no self-respecting party in LA has zero loose bodies removed. I remember one party where they […]

Yesterday, Ronald Acuña Jr. went 1-for-3, 4 RBIs with a slam (3) and double legs (9, 10), hitting .238. The homer was a grand slam, and his 1st home run since April 24th. Got this text yesterday from my buddy and fantasy baseball ‘pert, Mike Gianella, “One healthy year for 2021-25, his ’22 and ’24 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Cristopher Sanchez had a May. Oh, did he have a May. Yesterday, he went 7 IP, 0 ER, 6 hits, zero walks, 9 Ks, ERA at 1.47.

Names that are verbs are badass. Mark Spitz? Oh, hell yeah. Busta Rhymes? Yes, absolutely. Ben Folds? Okay, I’m with it. When going formal, does he hang out with Jeremy Irons? Hope so! That brings us to the A’s calling up, Gage Jump (5 IP, 4 ER, 10 baserunners, 5 Ks), the fantastically named double […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Eighteen no-hitters since 1962 for the Astros. That’s true. Now, for what it feels like, the Astros have used 89 pitchers in those 18 no-hitters. Astros have no respect for the record books! Alimber Santa (2 IP, 0 ER) finished it off last night. It was his debut. C’mon! Alimber Santa? That’s not a pitcher, […]
