NC Dem primary voters came here to do two things, toss ICE supporters out of office and chew bubble gum. And brother, we ran out of bubble gum in January.

Fantasy Baseball Expert Draft: AL LABR Jason Collette reviews his AL LABR team, led by Athletics slugger Brent Rooker, as he looks for his second title in four years.

My recap of AL LABR auction is up for all to read it’s still surreal to me to play & win a league I first learned about reading Baseball Weekly (RIP) in college back in the 90s.

Shane McClanahan made his debut!

McClanahan has not pitched in MLB since 2023 due to elbow and triceps injuries, but he is back now! The Rays southpaw averaged 94 MPH on his fastball and showed off his trio of secondaries. Hopefully he can find that high 90s heat as he ramps up

"Today is the most difficult day of my baseball career. I am devastated to announce that I have been suspended for 80 games by Major League Baseball and the Commissioner's Office, for testing positive for a banned substance this offseason. This is especially painful for me because anyone who knows me and has seen me play knows I am deeply passionate about the game. There is nothing I love more than competing with my teammates and being a fan favorite.

"I want to apologize to the entire Braves organization, my teammates, and the fans. It is because of my deep love and respect for this game that I would never knowingly do anything to cheat it. I have been tested my entire career, including eight times last season alone, and have never tested positive. I would never willingly take a banned substance, but I take full responsibility and accept MLB's decision.

I guess we can expect a similar boilerplate response like this one from 3/31/2025?

Fun stats with Joey Cantillo:

2025 MLB: 27% K rate. 10.2 k/9.
2026 ST: 18% K rate. 10.1 k/9.

(never use k/9, kids)

I thought the panel went well - the audience was engaged and some of the follow-up questions afterwards in the courtyard and the @enosarris.bsky.social event were great. Glad I was finally able to attend the conference.
