As I once heard @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social say, “if you’re ever wondering what to watch, just watch ‘Big Night.’ It’s always the right answer.”

An important reminder that Alan Greenspan played the saxophone, and inspired one of the finer pre-song monologues of Todd Snider’s career. youtu.be/xJaP_Swpcpo?...

Grateful to Tim for sharing his story. In the words of one of the sources for this story: “We’re all three paychecks away from something like this.”

5 innings of absolutely infuriating scoreless baseball is why you sign Chris Bassitt, actually

So, @audacyinc.bsky.social has launched an “original” podcast called “Family Lore,” with a description that’s strikingly similar to my show, “Family Ghosts,” which premiered back in 2017. I’m certainly not claiming to have invented the genre of family storytelling, but…c’mon guys.

Last year's Orioles were 3-3 on April 2nd, and never got back to .500 the rest of the way. 6-6 on April 8th is...not amazing, but much improved!

Good afternoon, my emotional well-being is currently solid in light of Bradish pumping 97 to the corners. Please note that status will be downgraded significantly in the event that his velocity waivers even a li'l bit. Still healthy I swear.

Good morning, my emotional well-being hinges on whether or not Kyle Bradish holds his velocity for 6 innings today, I am very healthy

Today I'm transcribing a three-hour interview manually. I can see how AI might be useful for this, but I rarely use it for transcription, personally. (Not judging those who do, it's a slog.) Too many errors to clean up, plus I use that time to get to know my own material and mark what I want to use.

I love Dean Kremer as A Guy, but I also can't help being a wee bit excited that we appear to have enough rotation flexibility that we aren't relying on him to chow down on innings. That alone is a huge improvement from last year. Sad for him, but excited for the team. Feels weird!

Definitely spent a lot of time last year watching Bassitt grunt and heave his way through competitive innings and thought, “Man, I wish that guy was on our team.”
