Netflix is going to create the Casablanca Extended Universe, but it's really just all the stuff happened in December 1941. First season will be about the war, but the second season will be about Lisenba v. California, the Chungpu earthquake in Taiwan, and the death of mathematician Émile Picard

Last night I wrote up the Cedric Mullins and Miguel Rojas contracts. One is kind of happy and fun, the other features a Mike Elias quote that comes as close as baseball gets to Vogon poetry

Feels increasingly like the internet is hiding parts of itself from us. I know this because there's no way there aren't at least 50 books of midwestern poetry out there in the world with the exact title "Eating Over the Sink: A Man's Dance"

the good news is the price change doesn't kick in until 1/1, and we're currently running our yearly promotion for a yearly sub, a copy of the Annual, and a t-shirt, so there literally isn't a better time to subscribe or extend a subscription with us:

It’s me, the guy who made all your Spotify ages 20 years too old. I used a time machine and behaved really well, didn’t alter anything, but I did catch a verse of 37th century music before coming back and it screwed up all the averages. Really didn’t expect it to have so much otamatone in it

Currently drowning in work on the Annual, to the point where I'm forgetting to log in. But I should note that I have a new TA06 up on @baseballprospectus.com today, looking at the days when teams gave out three-year deals to everybody: old guys! Relievers! Even old relievers! A hell of a time.

In what was considered a middling free-agent class, relief pitching was seen as the one area of riches. In one week, much of it was locked up.
