Wicked has taken over our house this Halloween. I guess it’s a reprieve from Frozen. Not even the stormy wind and rain could dampen their spirits.

It’s possible I spotted the only Luke French jersey in existence. Too bad his friend wasn’t wearing a Ty France jersey, but Jose Lopez is a good pull too.

Yeah, the location on the changeup hasn’t been great, but it doesn’t matter. They’re flailing at it anyway.

I generally play my series previews for @lookoutlanding.bsky.social pretty straight, but writing about Bradley Blalock broke me. I can’t believe the Rockies made me write about pitchers named McCade Brown, Tanner Gordon, and Blalock... www.lookoutlanding.com/series-previ...

At one point, the @fangraphs.com trade value tool served up Shohei vs. Skenes three times within 10 matchups. I think I picked Ohtani twice and Skenes once. It's too close to call!

When you’re in Seattle for the day and the Mariners are playing a late afternoon game, you grab late minute tickets. It’s what you do.

“Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game.”

I do not think that’s so obvious, Mr. Manfred, given the sweeping vitriol this decision was met with. Relitigating Rose’s eligibility seems to be a threat to the integrity of the game in and of itself.
