We need more approaches to email like Justin McElroy of the pod My Brother, My Brother And Me — whom my wife and I once worked with in a newsroom. He told my wife once: “Nah, I deleted that shit wholesale.” Of course, he’s no longer a journalist and made it big as a comedian/podcaster.

I’ve been telling my family that he’s going to be a problem for us since Game 1 of 2024-25 much to their dismissiveness. I do t have to like him, but I have to acknowledge he’s a problem for my team — and that’s about the only@compliment I can ever give the opposition.

My last day is 12/6. There are 9 other employees reporting directly to me who will also be affected, so if you need great salespeople, let me know and I can refer them to you. But I’ll be less active online as I focus on the job search. Gonna post from UK-LSU on Saturday and have some escape. #BBN

I had planned to take a digital detox at the end of the #RedSox season already, which regrettably came early, but also coincided with finding out last week that my branch was being closed & that I was being let go after 17 yrs. Seeking sales/operation leadership jobs in a greater Lexington.

Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I agree. Just dreading the reality that there’s no easily available fix because they’ve kicked the can too many times already.

Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I’d rather have Tolle at his cost over the next 6 years than Skubal at $50m over 8 yrs, and spend the money on bats. Less wear and tear and still peaking. Skubal is a year or two from the Gerrit Cole trajectory. He’s 30yo next year.

Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
There’s very little available in free agency and they don’t have depth in minors to get offensive difference makers. I’d target Brandon Lowe, move Mead to DH and trade Duran. If not Lowe, play Mead at 2b and try for Seiya Suzuki. But none of the options are JD in 2018.
100
Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
For example, Bennett isn’t all that different from Early. And Early got you Mead. They don’t need another Mead. They need Tatis — or Adley to hit like Langeliers and for Anthony to become like PCA offensively.
000
Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
They need more SP depth. All their options for next year were on the IL this year. I’d sign or trade for 2-3 SP5 options who have options for flexibility. Skubal is not realistic and it’s a cost that prevents improving the offense. Bennett won’t get you a masher, just another Duran/Durbin type.

• Trade Duran for a SP5 w/ options • Trade Yoshida for a RP with options • Trade Moran and Weissert for guys w/options • Let IKF walk (plenty of UT candidates) • Sign Brandon Lowe and/or Seiya Suzuki (Seiya probably says no bc of Yoshida’s treatment) • pick up Sonny Gray’s option or re-sign him

Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
And there’s no big bat waiting to break through from the minors, and not enough to trade for a bat. The best free agents available are Seiya Suzuki and Bo Bichette. What they have is what they’re going to have next year. Mead, Anthony, Rafaela, Abreu all have to take additional steps forward.

Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I’ve reserved judgement on Chad Tracy’s in-game decisions until the postseason, and I’ve hated his quick hook both games. I trust Tolle and Gray third time through the order more than Erik Miller since Sept. 1. #RedSox Wake me up when Big Blue Madness tips. #BBN

I don’t miss the other place at all. But I do occasionally have FOMO when something viral like the Cam Schlittler chin photo surfaces from his high school days. And I can’t help searching for what juvenile discourse Bluesky has sheltered me from seeing. Other than that, I like it here much better.

At least have the division round matchups not strictly bracketed. Winner of NYY/BOS should draw into CLE instead of TB.

Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Gonna be a AAA game for at least half of it, too. Neither team has anything to play for and not inclined to risk injury 48 hours from postseason.

That’s an awful free agent class. Not disagreeing with the order, either.

Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Can’t imagine that #RedSox vs Yankees isn’t the 6 pm game or the Padres-Cubs isn’t the 9 pm no matter what. I’d think the 1 pm and 3 pm games are decided by whether ATL hosts Philly or AZ. Probably don’t want any teams playing before noon their local time.
000
Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Correct me if I’m wrong … If Padres beat the D-backs & Rays beat Phillies today, then the entire playoff bracket is decided except whoever wins AL West and final NL WC spot. And that’s either TEX/HOU hosting White Sox and ATL hosting AZ/Philly. So, we should be able to get WC game times tonight?

Should make the WC roster a no-brainer on the hitting side if Contreras can play. surprised if they don’t call up Braiden Ward & let him play tomorrow before playoffs. Only question is what they do with the final BP spot. SP4 has to be fresh for next series, so don’t carry him (Bennett?). #RedSox

I wouldn’t have wanted him to start a game at Yankee Stadium, but I’m perfectly fine with him starting ahead of Bennett in the second series.

If the Red Sox and Padres win tonight, this is a hell of a lot of effort to clarify the #5 and #6 seeds In the NL. The Red Sox should send ten guys, and let Jedixson Paez go nine.

They’ve done this before and played games in Milwaukee because of weather. Maybe not Red Sox, but others.

I’d have TOR-Cincy move their game up to noon, play BOS-Cubs immediately after. Could do same in Milwaukee. Hell, play it in Montreal with no ABS if needed. Given how they have approached the last 2 weeks, Boston isn’t playing half their team anyway.

Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Makes no sense to play in St Pete, IMO. Let’s fly 1,000 miles to play 1 game, then turn around the next day and fly 1,000 miles back to NYC for a play game. And Cubs will either fly BOS>Tampa>SD or BOS>Tampa>Chicago. May as well play in Chicago or some other Midwest city (Cincy, CLE, MIL).

Travis ⚾️🔴🧦⚾️ @trhubbs.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
They’re hoping neither will need to play it in case it has no effect on seeding. Waiting to see if Cubs lose and Padres win?

Am I just a dark evil person that I find the show hilarious? I mean Patricia is pure unintentional comedy. Everything Rosemary does and says is hilarious. Is it just that most people don’t think horror and comedy can co-exist, or that they just reserve “comedy” for traditional sitcom genre?
