Heh. Yeah that’s weird. Whatever. People block more readily here, and if that’s what helps them enjoy the space, ok. I liked that clip, though. Sad to lose their posts in my feed. Oh well.

At this point, Trump is just the answer to “What if Idi Amin won election as POTUS, twice?”

Castro just got handed 13, I remember. That kind of stuff does happen. But usually, certainly since about 1990, the clubhouse manager will ask a guy which of a handful of available numbers they want.

Definitely not the Cubs making those choices. But Sosa did choose 21 to honor Clemente, and Wood chose 34 for Ryan. Can’t remember Prior’s reason for liking 22 but it wasn’t Clemens.

From @matrueblood.bsky.social on how the league is getting younger, and how that affects the inevitable drift towards the corners for even the best of the very best.

I know Transformers is an exercise in the scientifically impossible, but it’s *extra* scientifically impossible for a movie with the subtitle “Rise of the Beasts” to be even remotely watchable.

People are *really* high on the Reds this year. I’m not sure I see it.

(Also, while you should never engage with power rankings:
-Cards too low
-Brewers too low
-Yankees too low
-Rangers too high
-Phillies too high
-Team From Suburban Cobb County GA too high

Would never happen in a hockey room though. That call doesn’t get put through to Team USA Basketball… but then he also doesn’t *place* that call to the basketball team… what a gross situation!

Yeah but last time Brad Keller hit 98 I had never heard of Wuhan province.

I'm just fully assuming you haven't yet sent your top calibrators to Camelback. Brad Keller touched 97.9. I think if we take 2 MPH off everything, we're probably in the right area.

(Alas: I would stay circumspect on this for now. Brad Keller registered an average fastball of 96.2 and touched 97.9 today. In other words, I think Camelback's Statcast is running hot.)

Poteet had no kind of consistency with his secondaries, couldn't repeat his release point. No problem. It's Feb. 20. Really encouraging to see him sit 94.4 MPH this early, across two innings of work. They'll dig in on some mechanical fixes next. #Cubs baseballsavant.mlb.com/player-scrol...

Cody Poteet sat 94.5 MPH with his four-seamer in the first outing of his spring. Averaged 93.3 last year. If he trends up a little into the season and the fastball ends up two ticks better, that's a big deal. #Cubs

Missed a lot of this in the moment, Chris, and ugh. You’ve had to deal with so much. Be as well as you can; the non-assholes among us are pulling hard for you, always.
