“Hello Sharks! Every Mother’s Day, MLB wheels out there some pink bats. Well, this year I have something for the gentlemen on Father’s Day!” [reveals two rosin bags tied to the knob of a baseball bat, dangling, a quick succession of “I’m out”] “So, you don’t want to see my heated ice cream scooper that […]

I did this to myself. I made fun of Walker Buehler and Dustin May yesterday. An off-the-cuff goof saying, “The resurgence of Buehler and Dustin May is one of the more interesting developments this year. It’s officially ranked 15,670th on the interesting development list, right after Troy Johnston has two T’s in his name. It’s not Troy Johnson. […]

The Tigers are pound-for-pound a mess, and that is embodied by Colt Keith (2-for-4, 2 runs, 3 RBIs), as he had a slam (1) and legs (3). First home run and 3rd steal feels kinda unreal. On the Player Rater, we have how much value a player has had over the course of the season […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Royce Lewis sent to Triple-A. Hmm, let’s see the Twins’ top hitting prospects of the last few years: Luke Keaschall, Brooks Lee, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Matt Wallner, Spencer Steer, Edouard Julien, Drew Gilbert, Trevor Larnach, Royce Lewis, Jose Miranda, Ben Rortvedt, and Redfin Smart Shopper, Alex Kirilloff. Quite the track record. It just so happens that […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m only half Jewish — as Henry Hill would say, the good half — but I heard Cade Cavalli went 6 IP, 2 ER, 10 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 3.82, and I started Cade Kvelling. Who is this, do we know his mishpocha? Can we send them some macaroons? Are they allergic to coconut? […]

I should probably listen to the last three months of our Cards & Categories podcast with Jeremy and Mike and their Noah Schultz content to get a better handle here. [does just that] Wow, I should’ve paused at some point, I really have to pee. So, the boys loved Noah Schultz a lot. This is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Unless I’m misunderstanding Easter and the greatest story ever told, there’s a strong indication that Hunter Brown is not Him. As I understand it, Jesus gets his boys blotto on his blood that’s wine — imagine going wine tasting and being like, “This wine tastes irony.” “Like it’s dramatically contrasted to the opposite of what’s […]

The year is 2045. All the years after 2038 have been a blur because, seven years prior, I was hit by a flying car, and now my frozen head is in a jar, and the visibility is very poor through formaldehyde. Something no one talks about! “Hey, Charlie, how well can you see in that […]

“There is ample evidence that the public is getting a wee bit tired of all these ‘pitchers duels’,” wrote The Washington Post’s Bob Addie in late-1968. So after the season, MLB officials lowered the mound to 10 inches and shrank the strike zone to its modern size. Cool, after this year, let’s lower the mound […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’ll admit to a certain type of satisfaction seeing the Rays suck. We should all be rooting against them for what they’ve done to our great game of baseball. The opener? Sucks! Not promoting prospects? Sucks! Pitching guys so far over their limits they all get hurt? Sucks! Platooning everyone? Sucks! Okay, someone help me […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week was one of the best weeks of pitching streamers I’ve ever had. As of Saturday, our pitching recommendations only allowed two runs across 22 innings. We likely won’t duplicate that every week, but some of these atrocious offenses are easy to capitalize on. We’ll be stacking against teams like the A’s, Rockies, Marlins, […]

In his village of Cambio, Venezuela, every family had multiple changes of clothes, had change for a peso everywhere they went and the city’s favorite TV show was RuPaul’s Drag Race because of how well the contestants would change before our eyes, Ronel Blanco was raised in this culture of change from his crib to–Kidding! Come on! There’s no way I’m doing a lede Buy for Ronel. Mr. White’s the biggest sell in history! No, this is a buy about a guy who the doorman to Superstardom says, “Hey, man, I can just hold the door open for you, you don’t need to keep knocking.” That man standing at the door to Superstardom for some time is Alex Kirilloff.
