I have debilitating switch-hitter blindness, so I sympathize. I'll watch a guy switch-hit for 10 years and only remember him hitting one way.
Did David Stearns lie to Chris Getz to get rid of Luisangel Acuña? It's possible!

Since Branch Rickey took over as club president in 1917, the Cardinals have never lost more than 93 games in a season.

Bummer outcome. I'm grateful to Andy & Grant for letting me in.
Thanks to the listeners who have followed along with Grant and I these past four years. The Roundtable will not be back in 2026, and we won’t be able to do the show elsewhere. A bummer, in part because I just had so much fun talking to Grant and Sam twice a week. I’m going to miss that a great deal.
Our status has regretfully shifted to "it's complicated." The Athletic will not be bringing The Roundtable back, and we are asking for permission to yammer about baseball somewhere else. The three of us still want to do it, but ... well, it's complicated.

I got skittish that the Orioles were going to blow up my Annual thesis by signing Framber (or someone similar) in the interim period before publication, but NOPE.

Hey grant. What happened to the roundtable podcast? Is it still alive?

Dan wrote a super piece about Arraez and the "contact rate death spiral." But I think it's not so much that he puts bad pitches in play; he has actually hit those pitches well! It's that he's overextended and thus has no drive for the meatballs anymore: pebblehunting.substack.com/publish/post...
