petition to create a “show me a random game from the past” function on mlb tv, with filters for season, game excitement (based on wpa or something), division rivalries, day/night, etc sometimes i just wanna get dropped into a random game & enjoy, but it’s too much effort to pick “the right one”

everyone saying that Vlad Jr isn’t worth anywhere close to $600M. but idk, if he has another .323/.396/.544 year and hits 50 bombs and steals 70 bases and plays gold glove defense at shortstop and pitches a couple no-hitters, he could get there imo

proud to say I hit a double in my first PA in high school & stepped off the base afterward & got tagged out & it has only kept me up about half the nights since

highly suggest watching spring training games AS IF they are playoff games. jump to the ceiling on home runs. scream at the tv when the starting pitcher is pulled after 2 perfect innings. wear the same pair of socks until april. don’t be let down by the lack of excitement. create the excitement

love how the red sox players are just creating bad press for the hell of it. like a reporter will ask "do you enjoy playing that position?" and they'll respond "yeah, I'd bang breslow's wife. next question."

love how in spring training we all just get hyped to watch dudes get ready to do their jobs. like imagine if we were all sharing videos of gardeners putting on their overalls with captions like “👀… Garden season is almost here… 👀”

I've made a few posts about my LASR (League-Adjusted Standardized Rating) project, but the screenshots from Tableau were too ugly to show off. I put in a little "graphic design" time & now I'm more confident about sharing the graphs. I explain the changes & show off some examples here:

Since baseball is known to be incredibly predictable and prophecies such as these absolutely never look silly in hindsight, it’s time for me to pronounce the starting pitchers who will prove to be undeniable aces in 2025.
