A little bit of a warm up in Minneapolis this weekend. A good chance to get your gloves ready for the upcoming season. I'll be at the shop Saturday and Sunday from 9 to 5.

Juan Soto has 43 walks in 258 career spring training PAs. Adam Jones and Garret Anderson (among many others) never drew 43 walks in a season.

I officially have the same number of followers here I had on Twitter. A few fewer of them are baseball-y, and it’s much harder to catch a wave and have stuff spread to a wide and rabid baseball audience here. But there are fewer bots, there’s less porn, and there’s WAY less toxicity. Plus no Elon.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

WOW "Seven western Wisconsin Republican lawmakers did not appear at an event hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union in Chippewa Falls Friday as farmers from the area said they were concerned about the effect that President Donald Trump’s first month in office is having on their livelihoods." ⤵️

New tonight @northsidebaseball.com: a handful of players had exciting first games of the Cactus League season in Arizona Thursday for the #Cubs, including a couple top prospects and candidates for final roles in the bullpen. northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/...

Christian Olivo is a person I have literally never heard of. And I pay reasonably close attention. Numbers say I haven't been missing anything. Sure looked good there though. #Cubs

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Too late to save the nation he derailed, maybe, but this is the second-best time for him to be gone, with the best being long ago. I hope he lives another 40 years, and thus has to watch as much of the disaster he’s unleashed as possible.

Ok Statcast is DEFINITELY overheated today but let's just imagine for a minute that it isn't. Because lol. Daniel Palencia's first pitch was 100.0 MPH, he's sitting 100 and has touched 101.3. Again: not really. I'm 99% sure it's like two ticks too hot. But come on, that's fun.

A lot of people right in the Trump demo sweet spot who truly do love and care about their parents nonetheless are going to HATE suddenly having to help them get to three extra appts per month again. Make sure they know whose call that was.

Whoa. Gage Workman showing why his middle name is Tater, going oppo. (This is not a joke, his given middle name is Tater. That info far more pertinent than the fact of the homer, even if it did come off nominal big-leaguer Justin Wrobleski. #Cubs)

We're following the Trump administration's actions to reshape the federal government and its impacts on Minnesota, from immigration to DEI programs to the federal workforce.

Funding for DOGE has reached $40 million. Elon Musk's corrupt and illegal maneuvers are costing Americans huge sums as he exaggerates "savings" and cuts funding to crucial services. From @propublica.org: www.propublica.org/article/doge...

A bunch of dots and lines showing just how quickly everyone kinda stopped caring about the actual baseball play and turned their attention, rightfully, to Bobby Miller.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

🚨We've got live Statcast data (not bat-tracking, but pitch speed, movement, EV, etc.) for Cubs-Dodgers at Camelback Ranch, folks. Previously, only park in the Cactus League that offered public Statcast data was Talking Stick (home of AZ and COL).🚨

And also, this is me saying this and not Jamelle, but: -Climate change will lead to human extinction; and -All DEI critics do want to re-impose segregation Again, this is just me telling you those things. But they are true, and they’re really closer to being facts than to being opinions.

Hey Minneapolis folks- please reach out to your CM to oppose this possible ordnance change on boulevards. Emily from our neighborhood runs Tiny Fields project that helps folks garden their boulevard.

Nestor Cortes is one of the league's most aggressive fastball guys and he just joined the league's most fastball-heavy pitching staff. It's not hard to guess where this goes. ✍️ @matrueblood.bsky.social #ThisIsMyCrew

There needs to be a more realistic version of NyQuil, for normal people who can only sleep 4 or 5 hours at a time. Sorry, Mr. Rockefeller, but I can’t use your fancy 8-hour knockout juice.

Yo if you’re out here underrating “Robin Hood” (1973), show yourself. Not just the most underrated but the best Disney movie, and not by a little or a medium amount.

If anybody out there has a copy of the 2002 CD “The Ticket,” by New York subway performer Ron Raffel, please contact me! I’ve been searching for this album since 2008 when I realized my disc was badly scratched/unplayable. It’s an obsession! I want to hear it again!
