Craig Brown

I’m with Coach Self. Think I may eject myself from watching this crap.

That felt large.

* updates

Idiot.

Still not into updated but Jac just laced a double at 120.2 mph.

Ryan Lefebvre’s description of pitch locations so far is NOTHING like what is illustrated on MLB Gameday.

And I heard you drop my name and site on your podcast today. Many thanks!

We couldn’t be more proud. 💙

tweet from lisa desjardins reporting SOTU might be up to 3 hours long

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

I am not into giving spring training game updates, but will make an exception when Jac Caglianone hits a ball 115 mph that travels 460 feet. It sounded as if the ball was vaporized.

I'll echo this as I did it myself a little over a week ago. The only thing that didn't make the trip over were comments. That didn't surprise me. Otherwise, I've been very pleased with how seamless it's been.

Is Luinder Avila a fit for the rotation? Matt Quatraro says Luinder Avila has front of the rotation potential. The Royals pitching depth is insane.

Seth Lugo will be followed on the mound by Luinder Avila in today's Royals Cactus League game against the Cubs. I wrote about Avila and how Matt Quatraro thinks he has "front of the rotation stuff" last week at Into the Fountains. Now on Ghost!

Happy now.

Arsenal are making me angry.

I can hear the duclet tones of John Fogerty behind Jake Eisenberg. We have arrived at baseball.

Amazing! Fantastic! Go Nats!

Love this dude.

Love to hear it! Thanks for letting me know…and for being a subscriber!

The Monday Ramble A trade, a roster move, a free agent signing and a new home for the newsletter.

I’ve moved Into the Fountains off Substack and over to Ghost. Still figuring out a few things, but keeping the usual nonsense. Come join me over there.

Watching live Olympics for the first time in these games and immediately reminded of how terrible American TV is at covering this. So, so bad.

I’m not sure. I’m just an alternate.

Me, seeing today’s curling results:

Bleh.

Arsenal. Bleh.

Congrats on the editor gig! I look forward to picking this up every season and am excited to see what you and the crew have done for ‘26.

We have acquired RHP Mitch Spence from the Athletics in exchange for RHP AJ Causey.

In a corresponding move, RHP Alec Marsh has been placed on the 60-day Injured List.

I kept my wisdom teeth after they were pulled. Supposedly, as I was waking up after the surgery, I said I wanted them for a necklace. Inspired by George Scott who said his necklace was made with the teeth of opposing pitchers.

Remembering Terrance Gore The former Royals speedster passes away at 34.

Today at Into the Fountains, I wrote about the sad passing of Terrance Gore, an amazingly unique ballplayer gone far too soon.

Agree!

Beltrán goes in with a Mets cap. Close call, but I think that makes the most sense.
