elbow hanging on by a thread?

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?

Here Are Some Fun New Pitches From the Early Spring Fifteen guys to keep an eye on in Arizona and Florida.

there is so much baseball happening these days — who will find all the weird pitching stuff? it's me. i will find the weird pitching stuff for @fangraphs.com:

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)

and we are the bookends in the draft order

first points/bestball league I've ever done too

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.

saw that! First one for me, so I'm certain to finish 13th in a 12-team league

Sleeper & the Bust shirt

I'm on one of the shirt designs - that's the best commission :) May need to be re-run with "multi-time award winning podcast" label

Whiffabatter T-Shirt K’s are what a pitcher craves. This t-shirt features an original RotoWear design and is perfect for any pitcher or baseball fan.

I have too many t-shirts, I really need to cut back

Thanks for putting this together. That was a fun way to wrap up my weekend before heading to the airport. Great to meet some new faces and see some folks I hadn't seen in some time.

Very low percentage usage on immaculate grid

Was able to use two of my top three most frequent players along with the fellow UCF Alum today. Good grid
