If you're honoring Walker Jenkins over Marek Houston, that's a Prospect of the Year award, not a Player of the Year award. For me, Player of the Year is akin to an MVP where counting stats matter. You generally don't see guys who play 60% of a season get MVP votes.

This is like a 6 week recovery. Very minor procedure as these things go. Wouldn't have any semblance of worry, even in the back of my mind.

On the Sonny Gray situation: -I love a guy who wants the ball. You wouldn’t ever want to discourage that. -I get why he was pulled when he was. -Maybe managers/etc. should set expectations so a starter isn’t (seemingly) blindsided when they come out relatively early.

Toward the end I shared that the 125 paid members of Limestone Pipeline provided me more financial support this season than I got on YouTube despite 8,300+ subs, 36,000+ unique viewers and 240,000+ views. The stability from Patreon helped me justify all of the time and energy spent elsewhere.

This is an underwhelming upcoming free agent class. I’m guessing the better players will get bigger contracts than you’d typically expect. It’s not the best year for the Twins to be aggressive, but there are certainly upgrades available. Finding a way to keep Jeffers should be a priority.

Coaching changes are an opportunity to get a fresh set of eyes. I'm not saying holdovers never innovate, but unless a unit is consistently over performing, it's probably beneficial to cycle through coaches on a semi-regular basis. Long way of saying my Pete Maki take is I don't really have one.

Of course I didn't stop at Lost season 1 (on 3 now). It was great the first time around, but the non-linear storytelling got exhausting. This is my first re-watch, and I'm finding that stuff less frustrating. Or perhaps it's not having to wait for Netflix to mail me the next disc ...

I'd say there's a positive difference in his defensive play, even compared to where it was in 2025. His range looked much better, and he was able to respond well to bad throws from the infield that were still on track to the base.

TFTwins @tftwins.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
I’m not sure how advanced defensive metrics will grade him as a whole, but Aaron Sabato is an excellent scooper over at first base.

Per Baseball Savant, Luke Keaschall's 83 mph average on competitive throws ranks 167th among the 192 outfielders with 50+ tracked throws. That's really bad ... but not actually as bad as I would have guessed. I think with time he could still be a decent defensive OFer despite his poor arm.
