Beautiful day for some AZ Fall League baseball! About 40 mins to first pitch.

The Education of Max Bickford fits nicely into this conversation.

We saw this coming. It wasn't difficult to connect the dots.

Rudy Stein would have done it!

Brice Turang needed to "Rudy Stein" that pitch inside. OMG. Bro.

Gilbert struck out Springer TWICE in one at bat, got neither call, and here we are. ABS can't get here soon enough.

I am old enough to remember the peace treaty Clinton put together. That came unraveled very quickly.

Somehow, this was not a TD. Maybe because it was against Brady's Patriots.

It was last week in the Cardinals-Titans game.

Colorado would have been far more poetic, though.

Brewers. I'd love to see Brewers-Mariners WS because neither has ever won one. And because there is a level of intrigue there: it was the Brewers (as the Pilots) who left Seattle.

Because it wasn't where the catcher wanted it. Doesn't matter. A strike is a strike.

I believe this is just the second time that expansion mates have faced each other in an LCS. The first was Mets-Astros in 1986.

As I've mentioned before, when we discuss primary sources in my classes, I find lots of conflicting interpretations and productive discussions. But these discussions are grounded in textual analysis, and rarely in whether the student agrees or disagrees with the politics of the text. /5

AT and Bonner might be back next year. I don't think Sabally and Copper will be. It will be an insane off-season, but I wouldn't be shocked if Jackie Young is in Phoenix next season.

First. Pitch. Swinging.
