WBC broadcast about to restart The Troubles

Life, death, and Tadej Pogačar ending a classic with a long range attack before I am out of bed on the east coast of the States

rooting for this Judge guy is fun

I'm sure the new Harry album is for someone but it is not for me

I wrote thousands of words about that and other Cristopher Sánchez and Curtis Mead fun facts (did you know they faced each other in Australian winter ball the year before the trade when they were both anonymous?) for @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

that's a good partial flip I didn't think of

This never *really* flipped. It flipped from looking horrible for awhile to nobody really winning. The Mets took on a crazy amount of money for the so-so value they got back in Díaz’s control years, and then re-signed Díaz to a contract that returned about 60 cents on the dollar

The Phillies were considered the top sabermetric example of horrible trade process for a solid three years over this deal. And it turned out they actually traded a Quad-A utility guy for the second-best left-handed pitcher in baseball, eventually.

Cristopher Sánchez for Curtis Mead is the only trade I can think of that looked like it was trending as a Fregosi-for-Ryan type deal for *years* one way and is going to end up being a Fregosi-for-Ryan deal *the other way*

An interesting, thoughtful take on the current discourse from the left

I have been writing this on and off for 18 months and I think it's finally good to go

I would like it if significant members of the democratic coalition looked at a guy who is clearly antisemitic and said “that’s bad, we don’t want that,” and not, “well obviously he’s not conservative so it doesn’t matter.”

I don't know if this was flagged on the enhanced international testing or not, but the hubris of pissing hot last year, staying on the gas, and then signing up to play in an international tournament with more restrictive drug rules is *chef's kiss*

the Braves projected really well in large part because projection systems as they currently exist basically only consider good cases for your playing time distribution, and they were extremely top heavy, and now things are already falling apart

If you make excuses for Planter while constantly ranting about Chuck Schumer I'm gonna raise a few eyebrows

the seemingly inexorable march of antisemitism into the very heart of US politics from both the left and right is pretty depressing

The best therapy on the planet is finding someone to play catch with. I still own 5 gloves and take my kids (now in their late teens) out for a catch every few weeks. Just toss the ball and have a talk.

every American on this website is in the leftmost ~5 percent of the country—that number may be high if anything—and a high interest consumer of political information. Go out and talk to real people, form a community that isn’t about politics, touch grass, things of that nature

dozens of people will think this is about them and most of them will be right

your toxic internet posting to your tiny circle of likeminded people (because your antisocial behavior has driven everyone else off) isn’t activism and your assumption that others aren’t engaging in actual activism because they aren’t doing toxic internet posting to your liking is bullshit

perfect timing for the incredibly deserving @rjandersonwrites.com (who should have a mantle full of these)

congrats to all the winners but especially R.J.

And legal. People ask me sometimes why I don’t go harder or deeper into stuff like IFA corruption and the answer is that I don’t have as robust liability protections as someone writing at The Athletic or a major paper

I’m in deeper than you are (traded Chourio for him in scoresheet)

Cuellar got a pardon of out doing it, that's the other one I can think of

Phil Murphy of all people was really good at it and it never really whipped back on him
