One of the best defensive plays I’ve ever witnessed and one of my favorite baseball cards.

I just think the Dodgers are built for this. An air of inevitability.

Realize this is big “back in my day” energy, but I am required to point out in the 1985 World Series the Royals used six pitchers total in the seven games. Tonight, both the Guardians and White Sox have each used five pitchers. We are thru five innings.

If you're old enough to compare this play to the Jeffrey Maier play, you should schedule a colonoscopy

What excites me most is how they’re going to rotate Arrowhead about 90 degrees. It’s a marvel of engineering!

The Jesus that I personally encountered -- and he was right where I expected, on the 3rd baseline, box seats, garbed in a Gunnar jersey, sipping a Natty -- looked like a Jewish rabbinical student, bookish, but with a keen grasp of how the infield-fly rule is necessary to bind together the universe.

I wrote this today at Into the Fountains and was probably generous on my attendance estimate for the game in Atlanta.
Every October, it’s the same damn thing. Atlanta wins the NL East and they get thrown on as the first game of the day at home. (I wrote this before the schedule for came out that has Atlanta in the first game of the day against the Phillies. True!) The stadium will be about three-quarters filled and those who are there can barely give a damn in between stuffing themselves with bites of Chick-Fil-A and doing that infernal chopping action. The sooner they’re dispatched from the tournament, the better it is for me, noted hater of Atlanta.

Keep thinking today is Wednesday, which is the scheduled press conference day for Picollo and Quatraro. I need to rewind my calendar.

zumwalt out as hitting coach. Not sure how this changes much. We will hear more in 45 minutes or so.

Carter Jensen won the AL Player of the Month for September. The first catcher in Royals history to win an AL PoM award. Which is wild. He hit .338/.407/.787 with 10 doubles, eight home runs and 20 RBIs.

James McArthur last pitched in a big league game on 9/16/2024. He was on the shelf for two years and had three different surgeries on his elbow. I don’t care that it’s game 162. He’s worked like hell to get back. Congrats to him.

People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I’ll do this winter: I’ll hit myself in the head with a hammer so I can remember nights spent watching the Royals bullpen.

The Royals announced their 2026 minor league awards. Brett Squires is the Hitter of the Year. David Shields is the Pitcher of the Year. LP Langevin is top reliever and Carson Roccaforte is the best defender.

Not much to care about these last few games, but I’m glad to see Lucas Erceg throwing darts and getting outs.

They say solo home runs don’t hurt so much. After tonight’s Royals game, I beg to differ.
