Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I don't feel good about the 2026 Red Sox after last night's unwatchable shitshow, but I'm also not going to write a eulogy until they actually die. 040
Reposted by Ed HandAlex Speier @alexspeier.bsky.social · 30/09/2026During player introductions, members of the Red Sox starting lineup are being showered with boos -- as expected. Willson Contreras, much as he did at the HR Derby this year in Philadelphia, cupped both of his ears to egg on the crowd. 1615

Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 29/09/2026My sister @annehand.bsky.social joined me to chat about "Austrian Again", the book about reclaiming our family’s Austrian citizenship. We talked about our grandfather, the gaps in the family record, and reopening a door he chose to close. interestingpeoplepodcast.substack.com/p/anne-hand-...interestingpeoplepodcast.substack.comAnne Hand: Reclaiming a Lost LegacyWatch now (63 mins) | Ed’s big sister, Anne Hand, author of the award-winning book “Austrian Again”, joins the pod. 041

Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Ya I just more meant your point is legitimate. Like the league will agree with you. 220
Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Yeah, this was an error on my part and why we start early. Next man up is Alex Vesia- LAD, RP (L). 010

Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 14/09/2026As someone who still listens to a lot of radio, I am decidedly not looking forward to the Macklemore resurgence but make no mistake, getting kicked off the Ed Sheeran tour is going to be the best thing for his career since "Thrift Shop." 030

Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I remember being in seventh grade science class when the news of the planes hitting the towers came out. Two of my friends were called to the principal's office. Their fathers were both travelling that day. The first one came back a few minutes later. 120

Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I love that the Red Sox just brought up a random guy they found in the Mexican League and he threw three scoreless innings and got a save. 1203
Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 21/07/2026The two exceptions are of course noted coke-fiends Jerry Dipoto and AJ Preller. If it's one of them is involved, all bets are off. 120
Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Any time I see a big-name player allegedly available at the deadline that isn't a free agent at the end of the season, I assume they aren't really available, their team is just willing to move them if it means getting an offer so stupid they have no choice but to say yes. 140
Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Chad Tracy making it back to .500 (31-31) feels like some sort of W considering how bad things had gotten. 090
Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 17/06/2026The scene in the inevitable Millennial remake of "Forrest Gump" where Millennial! Forrest goes on Joe Rogan (played by himself), meets Charlie Kirk and accidentally inspires some part of TPUSA is gonna be so controversial. 010

Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 10/06/2026The average person in my Twitter replies isn't wrong because they reached the wrong conclusion. They're wrong because they don't understand baseball well enough to even identify the question. 140
Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 10/06/2026There would at the very least be a podcast that's just Bubba going over different ways to make shrimp. 010
Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 10/06/2026In which I truly hope the team reloads for 2027. beyondthemonster.substack.com/p/baseball-p...beyondthemonster.substack.comBaseball Purgatory and the Cult of 'Anything Can Happen'Sneaking into the playoffs isn't much of a team-building philosophy. It's time to reload. 010
Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Yeah. Kind of glad actually, the book was hella depressing. 010
Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 10/06/2026A modern-day Forest Gump remake would 100% have him rescuing people on 9/11, capturing Saddam Hussein by accident, unknowingly causing Steve Bartman to doom the Cubs, and what else? 220
Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 09/06/2026⚾ 2 openings, both teams are being run by the league and are right in the heart of their respective division races. ⚾ Platform is APBA Baseball for Windows 6.1 (PC required). ⚾ Experience with baseball sims (APBA, OOTP, Diamond Mind, Strat-O-Matic, etc) is preferred but not required. 020
Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Looking for a couple of owners to join a 20-team APBA league. I'm commissioner. League has been going strong since the 70s. DM me if you're interested or have any questions. If I don't follow you and you can't DM me, leave a reply and I'll reach out. 120
Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 05/06/2026The reality is that the only thing that changes the conversation is pitching well. Results fix everything. The words are mostly meaningless. We watched Chris Sale spend years publicly beating himself up after bad starts, and it didn't buy him any goodwill when the results weren't there. 020
Ed Hand @baseballed.bsky.social · 05/06/2026There's absolutely nothing Brayan Bello could say right now that would appease people, so I'm glad he's at least being honest and crashing out instead of reciting PR-approved clichés. 240
