today is an inflection point for me, because the phrase "rough yogurt" is going to cross my mind every time i go grocery shopping for the rest of my life
Connie Mack managed until he was 87 years old. By the time he retired 1 out of every 5 players he had managed had died.
Just filling the rest of you in on what was discussed during the Monday lunchtime video chat today at
Would be the second time a draft's 1-3 picks all played in the LCS in the same year. Andy Benes, Mark Lewis, and Steve Avery were picks 1-3 in 1988 and all played in the LCS in 1995.
A mildly interesting list: players with fewer H than the major-league-leading HR total, ranked by most PA. Judge's 62 HR enabled a lot of new entries here.
On this final day of the season, a heartfelt thank you to all of you for your support and patronage this season.
It's the end of our 23rd regular season covering baseball. We love baseball and are grateful that we get to do this year in year out.

FRIDAY FACT: Half of the players who hit multiple HR against Antonio Alfonseca (who had an extra finger on each hand) have names that would fit tattooed across his knuckles.
Justin Verlander threw 6 no-hit innings against the #MNTwins tonight. He had also taken a no-hitter into the 8th against the Twins on May 10.
First pitcher to have 2 starts beginning with 6 hitless innings against the same team in a season since Madison Bumgarner vs SDP in 2015.
The package going back to Washington for Juan Soto and Josh Bell, sources tell ESPN:
- LHP MacKenzie Gore
- OF Robert Hassell III
- SS C.J. Abrams
- OF James Wood
- RHP Jarlin Susana
- one more major league player
That's the only holdup right now to the agreed-upon deal.
We'll see what the deal actually ends up being but I keep looking at the purported offers for Soto and wondering why the Nationals are doing this at all. All of them are either baskets of insanely high risk players or just not nearly enough in return in general.
Adam Wainwright struck out Cavan Biggio last night, joining Anibal Sanchez and Homer Bailey as pitchers who K'd both Craig and Cavan Biggio.
Wainwright has now K'd 2 father/son combos (also K'd the Fernandos Tatis), tied with Max Scherzer for the most of any active pitcher.
Trey Mancini. What a story. An inspiration; a legend. It is time for a man who has only had the opening riff from Immigrant Song going through his head for the past 2 hours to annihilate him.
Vinnie Pasquantino's first two home runs in the Major Leagues have both...
--Come against the Tigers
--Been hit off RHP Michael Pineda
--Been in the fourth inning
--Come on the first pitch
