Chickadees and titmice. Let's hear it for the adorable little guys. 😻

They also just called Jhostynxon Garcia "The Password" which is just delightful

Its an excellent day for Remembering Some Guys. Nabil Crismett, Chadwick Tromp, Seby Zavala are also on the All Name Team.

A view of the Polar Park field at a minor league baseball game between the Woo Sox and Iron Pigs.

A lovely afternoon for a baseball game! Woo Sox and Iron Pigs are both top tier minor league names.

Better Call Saul
The Good Place

That second point is one I immediately thought of. No rentals so far.

It's okay, they'll just move him to left field.

Capt: Picard
XO: Saru
Engineering: Trip
Helm: Data
Constable: Odo
Doc: McCoy
Ensign: Boimler

This was much harder than it should be. How can you pick one engineer?? And one doctor?

Nice

Could you imagine two MLB teams having to play in a Triple-A stadium all year after that?

10 writers of whom I have read 5 or more books

Anne McCaffrey, John Scalzi, Chuck Wendig, Michael Crichton, Ian Fleming, David Halberstam, George Martin, Fonda Lee, Martha Wells, Alan Sepinwall.

You're going for the Gusto, I take it

I feel like it would be more frustrating if I hadn't read the books. Knowing roughly where the story had to go let's me enjoy what they're doing without worrying about narrative

Sounds like a southern grandfather nickname.

"Get ready, we're going to see Gma and Pope Pope."

I was thinking of those Million Dollar infields as a possible answer.

Also cannot say enough good things about @gibsonsbookstore.bsky.social. Second event I've been to there this year. The space is warm. The crowd has always been good. Independent bookstores! Can't beat em.

I love Chucks books. But I also really admire the way he thinks about writing. It's always smart, nuanced, and makes me consider new ways to be a better writer.

Finished @chuckwendig.bsky.social excellent new book Staircase in the Woods today and saw him at @gibsonsbookstore.bsky.social tonight. He was awesome. The book was scary, surprising and moving. It has the most vivid, most disgusting descriptions ever committed to the page (complimentary)

Don't count out Caserio trading up here...

...to take Darius Alexander.

Agreed. They need that LT. And Simmons can redshirt for part of the season with Cam Robinson there. Ersery or Conerly could also be there at the top of round 2. But can they roster five tackles? Does Howard have to bump inside? Or is he getting moved?

If they come away with Jaylin Noel, Tate Ratledge, and Charles Grant, I'm happier than any of the options there at 25.

Truly one of your best posts. And that's a very high bar to clear!

Will Cam Smith and Isaac Paredes be more productive than Tucker over the next few years? Odds are yes.

Did Houston get a good deal for one year of a great player? Odds are yes.

Is the deal still negatively impacting this year's championship aspirations? Odds are definitely yes.

Two things are true: the Astros office is in a slump. Top to bottom, basically. No extra base hits, no hits with RISP. No runs.

Kyle Tucker, meanwhile, just homered in four straight games and continues to be one of the best offensive threats in the game.

I've gotten a lot of new followers recently - hello, thank you, and I do intend to do some follow backs once I can breathe - and I thought it might be a great opportunity to spread awareness about Matt's GoFundMe, linked here. Matt lost his home in the Altadena fire. Let's help him get back to work.

Immaculate Grid with all more obscure Astros and Astros broadcasters.

What a cool day at Immaculate Grid.

It's not like they can just conjure up a Gold Glove right fielder instead. Or one who can go 30-30. Or one who can catch the final out of the World Series. Those players are rare.

Don't mind me. Just watching a World Series Yordong to get ready for the season.
