I assumed I was just old and kept quiet about how little that "are you an athlete?" video resonated with me. didn't seem funny at all, but figured maybe I was missing something

Edwin DΓ­az will be the *second* Dodgers pitcher to wear number 3, sort of

Position player Skip Schumaker was wearing number 3 on April 29, 2013 when he pitched against the Rockies

DΓ­az said he checked with his wife, and chose number 3 because they have 3 kids

Behold! I have updated stadium alcohol sales data from October! Is Nebraska still selling more booze than anybody else? What about Ole Miss? Or Oregon?

good morning

i have updated alcohol sales numbers from across the country, thanks to like, 90+ FOIAs and a bunch of spreadsheet work

surprisingly (to me, anyway), Texas A&M is now our current booze leader. LSU, Nebraska and Oregon (!) close behind:

Brett Pill, who was a minor league hitting coach & coordinator the last six years with the Dodgers (and one of the classic Giants with one HR off Clayton Kershaw), was hired by the Rockies as major league hitting coach

Siani is an actual center fielder and has one option year remaining, having used options in 2023 and 2025. Hasn't hit at all in parts of 4 major league seasons (.221/.277/.270 in 383 PA)
