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 […]
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?Jacob Misiorowski (7 IP, 0 ER, 4 hits, zero walks 10 Ks, ERA at 2.12) needs to get through a whole season without losing his command like he did in the 2nd half of last year. Still a lot of time for that to happen. Remember, we all thought he might be the best rookie […]

It was time. Scott Pianowski did his corners rankings 11 days ago. Our fine site has multiple rankings per week. Peer pressure is a powerful drug. Here’s my attempt at ranks, and tiered for your pleasure and ease of comparing. This is the order in which I value them. Feel free to disagree in the […]

Elmer Rodriguez will be called up by the Yankees to start on Wednesday, as their rotation gets reshuffled, likely anticipating the return of Carlos Rodon. I believe the Yankees are doing the right thing calling up Elmer to offset the severe lack of Uncle Elmer in the Hogan doc on Netflix. Uncle Elmer drank raw […]

It’s only April 22, but it’s April 22, ya know? We have a decent amount of data here. Sometimes the theme just pops in my head, and sometimes I just look at the Player Rater and see what stands out. This is one of those articles, the hope being that you find it interesting as […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week, we took a look at how infield rankings had shuffled around since the start of the season. This week, we turn our attention toward how things are currently looking in the outfield. While we do have more data to work with than we did a week ago, we’re still talking very small sample […]

I come to you this week with a heavy heart. Part of my childhood has died. For years, I would buy in March some sort of baseball preview. Five bucks, and it would fit ever so snugly in the bathroom drawer. This weekend, on a lark, I saw the previews pop up on the magazine […]
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 […]
