You can tell this is a product that's in high demand because they keep hiding the ways to turn it off

Why Hitters have Trust Issues. 🤣

Why Pitchers have Trust Issues. 🫤

My third platinum of the year is Dangerous Golf. An indie game I've started and stopped multiple times over the years, it finally hooked me a couple months ago until I finished it. Its buggy, but a lot of fun. Biggest gripe are the multi-player trophies that are basically impossible now.

One of the few remaining free agents who made ANY sense for the Royals

I have a relative in government and can confirm that Musk did do this. Worth noting this was how Musk started his term at Twitter, a company that was valued at 30% of what he had paid for it as recently as December

It's long past time for 4 day work weeks and 12 hour sleeps

The gaming industry is so completely screwed up. I can't believe NetEase has this huge hit on their hands and they're laying people off and dropping titles. What is even the bloody point? It's just so disheartening.

Ben Rortvedt apparently thought ABS stood for: Angel (Hernandez) Ball-Strike system 🤣

Statement from Blue Wahoos Principal Owner Quint Studer on the maintenance of Blue Wahoos mullet policy:

I love that my USPS tracker says that my package is tracking to arrive by the anticipated arrival date but says nothing about what that date is. I anticipated it arriving today, but it was still in New York as of this morning. So I feel like we've got a disconnect somewhere...

Marshall Garvey, author of INTERSTATE '85, recently appeared on the Royals Rundown podcast with @jmilhamkc.bsky.social. Listen to the appearance here: open.spotify.com/show/2lnvHFK...

The first Royals' lineup card of Spring Training! Looks like Salvy, Maikel, and MJ all lost their starting jobs!

I don't think my copy of Pirate Yakuza of Hawaii is going to make it today. :( Hopefully it will at least be here sometime tomorrow afternoon

Yahoo Mail is pissing me off again. Upgraded me without warning me again, but now even when I switch back to basic mail they've changed stuff. There is no option for email support, only an AI chat bot that isn't very smart or a phone number that is only for premium users.

As far as minor league contracts with spring training invites go, I like this one a lot. He won't make the big league roster but he should be a source of pitching depth with a certain floor (likely higher than last year's results) and that's never a bad thing.

On this podcast episode, @jmilhamkc.bsky.social and @hokius talk to author Marshall Garvey about his new book about the 1985 World Series. Plus they react to extensions for J.J. Piccolo and Cole Ragans. Tune in! www.royalsreview.com/2025/2/20/24...

Just watched Lift with my mom. What a disappointing movie. Not because it was bad but because it was so aggressively mediocre and it had all the pieces to be a really fun movie.

Not me obsessively refreshing my tracking page to see when Pirate Yakuza of Hawaii is going to get here

Just got the notification that my Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii game has a shipping label created.

Forgot today was feature video day for MLB The Show 25. None of the fielding stuff super appeals to me, but I'll check it out and see if it makes things feel good. It'd be nice if perfect throws were tougher in pvp. The leveling system for RTTS sounds promising, too! youtu.be/VHJcj_SZQns?...

My second platinum of the year is Metaphor ReFantazio. It took hours longer than it should have because of the New Game+ requirements, but it's still a very good game!

For those of you wondering what the Royals would do if Salvy and/or Fermin got hurt.

Callie doesn't appreciate the power outage, either.

Parents were talking this morning about two people getting shot at the Eagles parade. What a shame it was that people behave so awfully. I agreed with them, but of course, inside I meant that people keep voting to make guns widely available so almost any moron can get one.

My biggest disappointment right now is that all I want to do is dive in the Blue Hole and spear some fish with some chill music, but that's one of the few things I absolutely cannot do.

I spent most of my life in Kansas, rarely endured truly strong thunderstorms. Two tornado events in 4 years that knock out power in my parents' Georgia home.

beyond all the legitimate concerns about ai, there's no way it's easier to do that than to just type in "fangraphs dot com"

You’ve been murdered. Who do you want on the case?

My cat chased a mouse under the bed, and emerged with a plush toy mouse while the real one escaped out the other side. She fell for a Tom and Jerry–ass bit!

Left-hander Cole Ragans and the Kansas City Royals are in agreement on a three-year, $13.25 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. The deal covers this year and his first two arbitration seasons, giving KC cost certainty and Ragans a near-top-of-the-market arb salary.

My parents got me a Valentine's Day present

Pitchers and catchers have reported to spring training! On this podcast episode, @jmilhamkc.bsky.social and @hokius.fromthehawkseye.com discuss the impact of early injuries, how the Royals’ offense stacks up in the AL Central, and what fans should expect from the lineup. Tune in!
