Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026tilt and lean being different categories feels superfluous 000
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Guessing there’s a lot more coverage of .300 hitters and batting average than of OBP being up (which could be partially an ABS challenge thing). Then again, probably more exciting highlight reel of hits than walks (and Sam Antonacci leaning into pitches) 100
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Really the dumbest part of some of the injury stuff was more the “guys who are day to day but not on the IL” stuff like Maikel in June. Players are usually gonna think they can play through anything. But the trainer is the guy getting fired if the player gets hurt worse doing that. 030
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 01/10/2026So Kyle Turner is the official scapegoat for things like “Stephen Kolek played catch when he could at the hospital to prepare for a start, and then Kolek got a season ending injury weeks later”. Also, guess the mental performance coach is back to the minors with it being a demotion and all 111
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I could have sworn they had some commercials with Schmitt playing basketball because he’s like 6’8” 100
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 29/09/2026looking at the first pitch times for old World Series and imagining the controversy (that didn't happen) when they moved from 1:30pm to 1pm first pitches in 1948 000
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It could be explained by non-ball reasons but it felt like the ball was dead in August and some guys thrived due to it (Noah Cameron) 120
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026in before they hire Espada once the Astros officially fire him 000
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026*Jeremy Guthrie starts commenting in a Rick Steves voice* 010
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 26/09/2026feels like the increase in money to spend without an increase in places to spend it has led to campaigns dropping it on national ads in order to spend as much of their money as possible 000
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Justin Verlander never pitching in KC for 9 seasons after his first stint with the Tigers ended in 2017 was a solid unintentional bit 000
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 26/09/2026looking at Citizens Bank Park and guessing they can't fit a football field from 1B to LF or 3B to RF (and it would be a bad idea for 10 other reasons too) 000
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I've seen ads for Jon Husted on cable TV in Missouri during KC Royals games (and not even games against Cleveland) so I'm not entirely sure how their ad placements are working for actual TV.. much less digital 164
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Durant (1hr/45 from Dallas and 2hr/30 from OKC) would make more sense if they couldn't get a venue closer to DFW due to unpaid bills since I'd think at least one county party next to Dallas/Tarrant would think he's a plus. (Now if they went to Waxahachie, well, good luck if he had to say that name) 020
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026also a certain amount of "we had a really big rally here in 2015 so let's get the feeling back" 130
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Wally on the shortlist to replace Nikita Koloff on the Russian Team in late 86 030
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I'm trying my best to not do the Supreme Court equivalent to noticing the length that a replay review is taking in a Baseball/Football game (maybe also true for college basketball monitor reviews but those are always tedious and long) 020
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026a few years ago the Royals were so bad around July that I just watched the entire 1991 WS for the first time as a cleanse 011
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026the redraw in 2022 added parts of rural/exurb counties to OK-5 and moved a Dem-friendly part of OKC into OK-3 (the Dem candidate won it 12.4k to 10.6k in 2022 vs Lucas in a year Lucas won 75/25) 063
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I'm wondering how the "rural counties with an interstate going through them" might swing a little harder than the rural counties with just a US Highway or nothing going through them 010
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Dobnak's game today kinda felt like was the closest we would come to "pitcher who thought his next game was a night game until a few hours before first pitch" (well, Carter didn't sleep in so he knew this was a day game) 000
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026the somewhat disapprove raises his hand way early in the process before realizing everybody else disapproves more than him 050
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026sample must have accidentally gotten too many respondents answering right track because they're making money smuggling items from Quebec to Maine to avoid the latest tariffs 020
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026a good idea by Skenes to only give up singles with RISP and to make sure most of the HRs are solo shots 000
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026guess that the political files section at publicfiles.fcc.gov will be a busy place for the next 6 weeks (it's where ad buy sheets for stations get uploaded).. at least for candidates buying radio/network TV adspublicfiles.fcc.govHome - FCC Public Inspection Files 010
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Either the paternity list works like the IL for bringing back a guy quickly or the minor league seasons being over is a factor here 100
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026if they move Seth Lugo to the bullpen, can they count that as spending on the bullpen? 120
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I guess Jeremy Guthrie as the color commentator for this game was apt since Lynch had a "Jeremy Guthrie is still pitching" outing tonight cc: @oldmanduggan.bsky.social www.royalsreview.com/2015/9/22/93...royalsreview.comRoyals lose 11-2 to Mariners in a predictable horror showGuthrie is still pitching. 021
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 22/09/2026it would also make some sense to move Wacha back after he threw 113 pitches in Pittsburgh, but hey, they didn't do that with Cameron post-one hitter (choosing to just pitch him 5 innings for his next start) 010
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 22/09/2026considering how most of the Lynch starts have gone (even if he's started providing some more length), there's an opportunity for Gonsolin to pitch a few innings tonight 110
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 22/09/2026in the case of Arkansas, non-TalkBusiness polls (because TB/Hendrix College has had a rough go of it in recent years. They had Trump +15 in AR in Sept 24, then he won by 30) talkbusiness.net/2026/08/poll...talkbusiness.netPoll: Tight race for US Senate between Cotton, Shoffner - Talk Business & PoliticsDemocratic U.S. Senate candidate Hallie Shoffner holds a slim lead over incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, but the race is within the statewide survey’s margin of error of 4.7%.... 010
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 21/09/2026also for an org that values contact% as much as they do, they haven't figured out how to have a good offense with a high contact rate 010
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 21/09/2026thing is... they have to make that tender decision before we know what the next CBA looks like 110
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 21/09/2026hey, can't make certain moves (with guys who'll be on the 40 man roster in 2 months) because of the lockout (which starts after certain guys get put on the 40)... oh yeah, a lockout that this ownership group supports too 010
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Roccaforte is 30/30, defender of the year, and only Kyle Isbel (and the Royals FO) is keeping him out of the majors 120
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 20/09/2026manager apologists gonna say the benching motivated Jac 000
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 20/09/2026the timeline might be a little fuzzy since he grounded out in the 6th on Thursday, struck out in the 4th, and was gonna be pinch hit for in the 8th (his spot was on deck).. take your pick on if he hit the wall post-groundout, or batted with a cut hand 101
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 16/09/2026this being the Royals, those 17 games include four 2-1 losses and a 1-0 loss 010
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 15/09/2026SCENE: the "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" music video shoot "No Lou, you don't have to gig on camera after you get put in a hammerlock, just run down the hall and get that off your thumb" 001
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 15/09/2026oh yeah, that rehab started around the time of hearing about the McArthur return, I guess nobody was paying attention to Omaha games or really any Royals games last weekend 020
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I know time is limited but... no rehab stint for Garcia is a surprise. Also feels like their usual nonsense with how they handle injuries. 110
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 15/09/2026also he's being paid more than Erceg so they'd have to commit at least a little more money if he's around next year 110
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 11/09/2026also appears that this state lawmaker is prepared if he has to hide in a wheat field to avoid a tough vote 111
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 10/09/2026(it's possible the 60% R color is too light, there weren't any counties between 50-59% R in this primary) 000
Brandon H @bhindepmo.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Looking at the August primary in MO where the %s of who voted in which open(-ish) primary for Auditor. In the 15 counties that made up 66% of votes, more voted D. In the other 100 counties, lots of R primary votes. A D could win with just 6 counties (Platte, Clay, Jackson, Boone, StL City/StLCo) 100
