I was a theater minor because I wanted to learn about and write screenplays. It was pretty fun.

I dreamed last night I was in a production of something resembling Wicked (no idea; I’ve never even seen it) and I was bad at memorizing lines so someone took over for me after the first scene. Reminded me I was a theater minor and I took an intro to acting class. I was not bad! So πŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž to that dream

Roki Sasaki's next team will likely break pre-existing verbal commitments with a number of Latin American players to sign him, writes @ken-rosenthal.bsky.social.

Depriving those players of life-changing money isn’t right. And baseball should not allow it to happen.

What is your least favorite chore and why is it laundry?

Breaking my social media silence to share this Ned Yost classic. Guess which Royals pitcher he was talking about:

β€œThe way that he goes out and competes, he does it kind of like a dead fish.”

This is from when I covered the team in 2018.
