Everybody should love Nelson Cruz because he is awesome. I blame Wash and crew for not paying any attention to his positioning or replacing him defensively.

Bucknor is just loving terrible. Hernandez and him are the guys that if I put on a game and see he's behind the plate I just turn it off and watch something else.

I'm happy to see he's moved on to much better things. The Royals took two of three from the White Sox to stay a half game up on the A's. It will be real embarrassing if they finish with a worse record than a team actively trying to lose.  Nelson Velazquez has bee bashing dingers since we traded that lovely reliever to the Cubs. The lovely reliever has a 0.61 ERA - and a 4.69 FIP. That has to be the biggest discrepancy between ERA and FIP I've ever seen. Exodor fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Sep 7, 2023 |

Ragans has been so good. I'm going to be so sad when he exits a game with "forearm soreness" and goes on the shelf for a year with TJ because the Royals can't have nice things.

I find it kind of hilarious that the Rangers traded for Chapman instead of just putting the 100 MPH FB lefty they already had in their bullpen.

The Cubs are the only team to ever successfully trade for Aroldis Chapman.

I always loved CJ, so I really wanted him to get the last out, but Mike Montgomery also has a certain "not-Aroldis-Chapman"-ness about him that I appreciate.

The Bill James historical abstract is the best baseball book ever written. But you've probably already read that. Joe Posnanski's new baseball book just came out like yesterday. Also if you never read The Soul of Baseball you should rectify that. (e: but if you don't want to give money to the guy who vociferously defended Joe Paterno and never apologized for it, I don't blame you. You should still get The Soul of Baseball from a library or something though.) The Only Rule Is It Has To Work was a fun read. If you've already read Ball Four and Nine Innings they still hold up great on reread. Eric the Mauve fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Sep 7, 2023 |

Lords of the Realm is great. I really enjoyed the Bo Jackson biography from last year, The Last Folk Hero, and there's a lot of good baseball stories in there. (Bo nearly strangled Kevin Seitzer once!)

It's been a while since I read it, but I remember like Eight Men Out, and it was a relatively easy read. A Well Paid Slave is about Curt Flood's fight to become a free agent. It gets a little deep into law talk, so be prepared for that, otherwise it's good.
