Seriously nerdy about baseball. Other stuff too but not quite as much as baseball.

Ron Bryant (2023) had a good '72 season, then won 24 for the '73 Giants before crashing & burning (3-15 5.61) in '74. Maybe it should have been obvious he was used up in September '73 when in his last 6 starts he lasted only 29.2 innings & gave up 27 earned runs.

The Oakland, I mean Las Vegas, I mean Sacramento, I mean West Sacramento, I mean City With No Name Athletics. It will be surprising if players, umps, fans, broadcasters, beer sellers and everyone else figures out where they're supposed to show up opening day.
Who will be the most surprising MLB team in 2025?

It’s the agents…get rid of them and the players will start acting like 20 year old boys again.
Baseball became less cool when half the players stopped dying in brothel gunfights

Dick Burns was the first MLBer born (1863) who died on November 16 (1937). He went 2-12 for the 1883 Detroit Wolverines of the NL. Pitched a no-hitter in the Union Association in 1884 but if that was really a major league then I'm Juan Soto.
