If your response to someone posting about being a fan is to bring up the cheating scandal, you will get blocked, but I want you to know that it's only because you're not interesting and you provide zero value to the internet.

They're not.
They never were.

Being an Astros fan is discovering a really exciting prospect and wondering which of the 29 other teams he's going to play his entire career for.

Imagining Tom Browning coming to my bar mitzvah, getting sloshed on Manischewitz and hitting on my aunt Karen the entire time.

This rules.

Cal State Fullerton's offense has had a hard time getting it going this season, but the bats are alive today. After an opposite-field home run by Paul Contreras is their third of the day and puts them up on Xavier, 8-0, with just one out in the second inning.

He has never suffered a single consequence in his life. It's insane to think he's just all of a sudden worried about it now.

Honestly tired of everything being called a distraction. People dying is not a distraction. Trump is killing people because he wants to kill people. He does not give a fuck about the Epstein files.

5-0 Runners after Morisaki hits the third home run of the top of the first.

Cal State Bakersfield has brought three hitters to the plate against Texas Tech and they lead 3-0.

The same thing you should always be doing: Root against Ohio State.

Too much variance in baseball dads. You really have to divide them into the ones who will and the ones who will not hate-crime you.

Baseball moms > WAGs

You know it's woke because it's USA Today not USA 1950.

Leftist sleeper agent Bob Nightengale has been activated.

My focus may be California and particularly the Big West, but I grew up as a Michigan sports fan, and it is always exciting to me to get a chance to see the maize and blue in action.

This starts a nice, extended west coast swing for Michigan — ten of their next eleven games will take place in the state of California — during which time I'm hoping to get multiple looks.

Wait until they find out what happens if everyone buys the "cheaper cuts" of meat.

How is it that the only way I can do deep work is to hike up the side of a mountain? Annoying.

This is offal advice.

It is profoundly annoying that I have to move this stupid lumpy body every single day for my entire life just in order for it to function properly.

Usually, I would just track the two starters, and I'm sure that's what I'll end up doing, but friends: Woof.

When I go to games, I usually pick two hitters and two pitchers across both teams to track, and then I take notes on anyone else who happens to catch my eye.

Finding a pitcher to care about in tonight's CSUN - Western Michigan matchup - much less two of them - is proving difficult.

It's okay. The Yankees haven't opened a bottle since 2009.

I want to be clear that I don't think there's anything inherently wrong about not wanting guys to chase velocity in spring, but coming so close on the heels of the anti-analytics push in the pitching department is worth mentioning.

Troy Percival wants pitchers to care more about eyes than iPads. The Angels might agree (Published 2023)

If you need an owner to jettison years of hard work because of the advice from one guy, Arte's your guy.

After the 2023 season, Troy Percival – bored after getting fired as UC Riverside's head coach, where he was 111-177 – visited the Angels and concluded they were too reliant on tech. Shortly after, Moreno fired the pitching coordinator, pitching performance coordinator, and a chief analyst.

No one should have expected eleven of anything from them. That was their first mistake.

Having Scherzer active during the next round of negotiations is a good thing.

There is no level of having it good that is enough for them.
