I did my first NFBC Draft Champions working on advice you and @rotogut.bsky.social gave in a preseason podcast. Won a league that had some really good players with Yordan as my first pick. Thanks!

Loons outfielders (George, De Paula, Hope and Quintero) have exactly 200 steals on the season. George with almost half of them but impressive nonetheless.

Hope you’re prepared carve out a minute and a half on Sunday night’s pod.

Yeah, would probably make more sense in the offseason but comps would be helpful too.

By the way, Josh Naylor just stole his 20th & 21st base of the season which means Naylor and Raleigh have more combined steals than Ohtani and Carroll. Enjoyed your disbelief about Naylor in the pod today.

Next time there’s a light slate of games, do you mind doing a deep dive into wOBA and xwOBA? It’s kind of a blind spot for me, so when you reference someone having a .360 xwOBA, I don’t instinctively know if that’s okay, good or great.

ICE arrested a woman in Bham this morning on her way to work. She’s been here since she was 7, got her Master’s in social work from Jacksonville State, has no criminal record, and works at the Hispanic and Immigrant Center of Alabama. And now she’ll likely be deported. www.change.org/p/demand-the...

Tweeted a joke about Dean Cain in 2017. Someone in the comments tagged him, then I got this notification as I was eating a burrito and listening to Doug Loves Movies.

Screenshot of a tweet from Dean Cain that says “Don’t equate me with that crap. One warning.” Above is an episode of Doug Loves Movies with Kumail Nanjiani, Aya Cash and Desmin Borges

'Vacations.'

The word is 'vacations.'

FAST COMPANY Article:

While retirement typically occurs, after
completing a career and saving and investing for it, a new trend is emerging among Gen Z career professionals
called "micro-retirement." Micro-
retirements involve taking a one to two- week break from work every 12 to 18 months.
Gen Z is using micro-retirement to avoid burnout, find greater fulfillment in their work, and enhance their overall well-being. However, it's not just Gen-Z:

OK, here is your one-minute primer on the whole concept of "trickle down economics," from the obituary of Fred Smith, the founder of Fedex.

I mean, if you still can't see it, I have no hope for you.

There’s a chance the next pope could be an Italian guy named Pierbattista Pizzaballa, and I think collectively as a people, we need that win right now.

deporting people FOR PAYING THEIR TAXES

The New York Times @nytimes.com · Apr 8

The IRS has agreed to share information with ICE to help locate people for deportation, court records show, a fundamental change in how the tax collector uses its tightly regulated records. nyti.ms/3XQ9vWk

What about all the fantasy players who have irrational affection towards Dennis Santana because his starts in A-ball used to sync up with the Bark at the Park games where they would take their dogs?

What do you expect for ETA on Harry Ford and Dalton Rushing? They both played some outfield last season. Do you think one or both comes up as the primary backup with the occasional time in OF?

Nolan @nolan82.bsky.social · Mar 19

Yandy Diaz. Any chance the dimensions at Swampbrenner Field help with his opposite field approach or wishful thinking for someone who got stuck with him as starting 1B in a DC?

Also, @cptowers.bsky.social missed the opportunity to say Freeman’s scar tissue was water Under The Bridge.
