Very excited about a couple new games I pre-ordered from @gmtgames.bsky.social, Cross-Bronx Expressway and China's War. These look great!

Free teaser: here's a chart I put together of 2014-17 ALCS ratings with or without Jays, showing a likely drop of 1.5-2 million U.S. viewers (or 26-38%) with them. (Click to embiggen.) That's notable, but not devastating, considering multi-year broadcast deals and corresponding CAN increase.

Worked hard on this Bucholtz Sports Media premium post on why a Blue Jays' series win over the Yankees wouldn't necessarily be bad for MLB's business, despite likely hurting U.S. ALCS and World Series ratings. 3,000+ words of analysis, yours for $5/month. andrewbucholtz.com/posts/blue-j...

Why any Blue Jays-Yankees outcome is just fine for MLB's business

While a Blue Jays series win over the Yankees would hurt U.S. TV ratings, that isn't necessarily a business problem for MLB.

Always remarkable to learn something new even in an area you've read a lot about. I'd always thought the WWII destroyers for bases deal was part of Lend-Lease, but a. it was actually a year earlier, and b. it was seen as hugely slanted to the U.S. side. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroy...
