Going to be embarrassing for me when I ask not Sporer a question about the magic hat stretcher we discussed at last year's First Pitch.

Doug, there is only one person with that name that occupies space in my brain.

Really enjoyed the predictions review that you and @cyrthogg.bsky.social dropped this week. Ernesto!

I think there might be something similar happening in Cincinnati. Flyball pitchers in a park with less outfield to cover can be very effective *if* they don't give up a ton of homers, or if they're able to maintain better than average walk rates to reduce traffic for the homers they do surrender.

I would have shut it down in 2018 if I had that gift.

I'm actually a little surprised that two random dudes I've never heard of didn't pull it off 105 years ago.

Did two pitchers ever lead off in a World Series game?

You could reliably get 10x the energy from him on a 15-yard pass thrown "OVER THE MIDDLE" in the second quarter of a Week 5 game at that time.

Tomorrow, will dig into to the two teams with our great beat writers -- @fabianardaya.bsky.social & Mitch Bannon ahead of Game 1!

Also, she appears to be an angel?
