I announced in January that I would be re-tooling my channels. More video on Foolish Bailey, fewer videos on Foolish Baseball, but of longer duration. The newest episode of Baseball Bits is finally here! And it's 49 minutes about The A.J. Preller Experience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZPD...

Bryan Abreu is in an interesting spot. Contract year. Consistently been one of the best relievers, but only 16 career saves. Hader might not be ready Opening Day. He's less than a year away from being the #1 closer on the free agent market, without having consistently closed.

Hitters really do have a lot of control over their batted ball distribution. Max Muncy hit just one (1) opposite field groundball in 2025. When you're as committed to pulling the ball in the air as he is, the reverse rarely happens.

These projections are my favorite part of the HOF tracking process. Really helps demystify the differences between public & private voters, as well as the effect of year-over-year net gains. Andruw Jones with a 90% chance of reaching the threshold is noteworthy here.

I wonder if there will ever be any real pushback on legalized sports betting, or if there’s just too much wealth to be extracted from the lower and middle classes for a Come to Jesus moment to occur. You’d expect some form of dissent from social conservatives, but I don’t see a temperance movement.

Until 1913, baserunners were allowed to run in a straight line across the diamond from 1st to 3rd on a single, provided they could avoid the pitcher trying to tackle them. This was known as the “gambler’s shortcut.”

Here are my first set of projections for the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame election, based on add/drop trends for the 92 ballots in @notmrtibbs.com's Tracker. Looking likely that we'll have a three-person BBWAA class this year, but Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones also have an outside shot.
