The role of Toboni's Big Dawg pays more than Pitching Analyst.
Paul Toboni just told us that Sean Doolittle will remain on the staff. Exact role is TBD.
Blake Butera said he’s talked to 20+ players. Every pitcher, unsolicited, brought up how impactful Doolittle was in their careers. Also had a previous relationship w/Simon Mathews.

Planet of the Apes set, California, 1967 by Dennis Stock. When eating in the canteen the extras subconsciously segregated themselves, with the orangutans, chimpanzees and gorillas all sitting in groups and not mixing. Like a mirror of society.

The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season officially ends on November 30, but the outlook is very quiet out there, so it very likely ended on October 31 this year. Overall, it was a slightly above-average season with some strange characteristics.

Elevated to critical fire weather conditions are possible across portions of the Mid-Atlantic into the Southeast. Snow and a wintry mix is expected in the Great Lakes and portions of the Northeast. An atmospheric river continues to bring heavy rainfall and high elevation mountain snow to the West.
