Watching Sam Curran on the Surrey stream, still have absolutely no idea what *this* England setup is missing with him. Has that natural crusing altitude with the bat you think they'd love, never mind a good option with the ball

@norcrosscricket.bsky.social @philwisden.bsky.social Jason Roy definitely "bowls" something that resembles legal medium pace too

@crosbybaseball.bsky.social is optioning Harris to AAA a possibility? Or just too much in the defence and the contract value to do it

Good job some of my favourite seasons as a Braves fan have started with sweeps. Mostly in Philly, find

@crosbybaseball.bsky.social not sure if you're looking for a topic for a show today/soon Lindsay, but a though that came to my mind.
*IF* (big if) Baldwin's bat sticks in April, is Ozuna's defence in LF unworkable in 2025 if they wanted to put Baldwin at DH some of the time?

@crosbybaseball.bsky.social thoughts on AJSS just going straight to the bullpen to start the year? Just see if he can stick it in the majors as a reliever / backup SP for a bit?

@crosbybaseball.bsky.social Ozzie at DH? If he can't field do they even keep him around?

@crosbybaseball.bsky.social hasn't Ozuna already received a qualifying offer from the Cardinals?

@crosbybaseball.bsky.social Hi Lindsay, enjoying the podcasts - quick q regarding the luxury tax. Understand the financial implications, or otherwise, but is there a difference in terms of the draft if they go over again this year vs if they don't?

The good and the and the bad of the English test side then. Have one very high gear for batting, seems to either come off brilliantly or not at all. Just not sure it's that exciting to watch when very few of their games seem to be very close. Especially once they go behind in a game.

Good first hour and a half of play today, about to go to bed but England digging in in tricky conditions. Fascinating to see where they are come the morning

Asking a lot for two of the games to make Day 4 (imagine saying that 15 years ago!), but could you conceivably watch about 30 hours of test cricket unbroken Friday/Saturday

Would not want a Two-Tier test system but would be nice if the Windies and Bangladesh could play more tests vs each other/other smaller nations
