Adrian Houser added two ticks of velocity to his entire repertoire this year. That's good! The Giants signed him to a two-year deal this week. That's also good!

A LH relief pitcher was one of the M's biggest needs this offseason, and Harry Ford didn't really have a place on the roster with Cal Raleigh installed for years to come, but this really feels like selling low on Ford's value. (And suddenly the M's need a backup catcher too.)

Yep this checks out — my Apple Music account isn’t really my own. I’m just glad we’ve branched out from Frozen this year. The real shocker is Howard Shore sneaking in in June. Must have listened to the LotR soundtracks a ton that month. 🤷♂️

Challenger by Adam Higginbotham was absolutely engrossing. Finished it in less than a week.
Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

It was assumed when the news of Root Sports demise broke a few months ago, but this article confirms that ESPN will be handling in-network broadcasts for the Mariners (along with five other teams) and the out-of-network MLB.tv service.
NEWS: MLB is set to announce its new TV deals with NBC, Netflix and ESPN, sources tell @andrewmarchand.bsky.social.
NBC will become the new home of the first round of the playoffs and Sunday Night Baseball.

If I was running MLS, I simply wouldn’t have a playoff system where a team could tie twice, win once, and outscore its opponent 7-5 and still be eliminated. But what do I know?
