I feel like this is going to be something I find myself reading during a crisp May night with the firepit going and the Phils on the radio.

Should have put that on the back of the book @justinklugh.bsky.social

I’ve never been more excited to read about a baseball team that lost 111 games

Everyone go get @justinklugh.bsky.social’s book

North Philly coaches say they have benefited from free equipment and clinics, but the program is a better fit for well-established teams that already have their foundational needs met.
MLB’s RBI program has begun to revive baseball among children in cities. In Philadelphia, it lacks diversity.

We have done 200 episodes of @ahpod.bsky.social. Probably a natural stopping point. We won't, though.

You hear about this Castellanos thing

They really gotta bulldoze the Ben Simmons/Castellanos mansion, it’s really not working out. Bad vibes or something not right going on there

I appreciate that Castellanos’ last act as a Phillie was to confirm that the whole controversy over his benching in Miami was in fact even more dumb than we had previously imagined.

Nick Castellanos has been recaptured in the painting from which he escaped several years ago. As always he will await the end of his thousand-year sentence or the next exec who believes they can control him, whichever comes first.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

How big a factor will Andrew Painter be in 2026? Is he "replacing" Ranger Suarez?

On a new Hittin' Season, we asked that question and a lot more heading into spring training! @WHYY @justinklugh.bsky.social
