In Clues By Sam (which I highly recommend -- cluesbysam.com), you must find innocents and criminals. Seems that the only crime ever committed is theft. I'm a little sick of it. I want some drug smugglers. I want innocent ghosts to be murder victims. I want RAPISTS, Sam!

For the old Dbacks fans: That Gabi Moreno half-swing that hit first base and became a "holy shit" single really felt like that time against Montreal when a dropped strikeout turned into a free base for Kelly Stinnett and turned the whole mood of the team for the rest of the year.

@franksantopadre.bsky.social I'll never unfollow you. Probably. ...but ads about the plagiarism robot made me unsubscribe from my longest-listening sports podcast I ever had, and now I hear that familiar voice recommending the unethical robot from your feed and I'm... conflicted.

Brenly mentioning Charlie Hayes (Ke'Bryan's dad) reminded me of the time when Hayes charged the mound at Todd Stottlemyre. In the ensuing scuffle, Randy arose from the scrum wearing a Giants hat by mistake. #Dbacks

I feel alone as the one Weird Al superfan who doesn't care about Star Wars. Can he end a show with comedy instead of The Saga Begins? Finish with Amish Paradise or Eat It or Grapefruit Diet or Horoscope or Albuquerque or Lost on Jeopardy or Melanie or Everything You Know is Wrong or something??

Just finished watching ESPN Jeopardy! Remember when I predicted that I'd think, "wow, Jon Hamm knows things about baseball I also know"? That came true (and also, I know many more things about baseball that he doesn't). He did reasonably well, though.

After a gem from rookie Mitch Bratt, the Dbacks' bullpen has me genuinely wondering whether they can get three out before giving up ten runs. ... Phew. Dbacks win!

Darrell Johnson @darrelljohnson.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Nootbaar, eh? OK. I'm a little miffed at the Tigers for dealing their best pitchers to our rivals, but I think things can work out. We need pitching? We have Burnes, Soroka, Puk, and J-Mart all coming back soon. First base? Ildemaro has been better than expected. This roster can win games.

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:

Joe Sheehan: This trade is a microcosm of the real problem MLB has faced for decades. It’s not about haves and have-nots, but wants and want-nots. The Dodgers, and teams like them, want to win more than teams like the Tigers do, so they go out and acquire the Tigers’ best pitcher. MLB has built an entire labor strategy and media campaign around demonizing the Dodgers, when in fact it’s the Tigers who are wrecking baseball. You have to be through the looking glass to think the sport’s problem is the team that’s trying to win rather than the team that’s trading Tarik Skubal while sitting 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot.

I promised my wife that I'd take her out for dinner after the Dbacks game, which would be over by seven. Thank you, Gabi and Gerry (and our bullpen!), for allowing me to keep that promise.

ESPN Jeopardy! will have celebrity/athlete/media contestants. Consider me bummed. As a person who misses Stump the Schwab and Two Minute Drill, I wanted to see an absolute sports nerd take the world down. Instead, I'll probably just say, "hunh, Jon Hamm knows stuff about baseball that I also knew."

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.
