I like to remind people, now and then, that Dan Turkenkopf helped build DRA @baseballprospectus.com, and about 15 minutes later, he was hired by the #Brewers. The stuff DRA likes, the Brewers often like, too. Angel Zerpa's DRA- the last three years: 96, 90, 74.

I love this idea but I need to note two things: 1) I haven't seen a Branagh Poirot because 2) I cannot accept Branagh as Poirot into my heart. Not while David Suchet lives and breathes.
They gotta alternate a Benoit Blanc and a Branagh Poirot every two years like the summer/winter Olympics

Interested to hear what the return will be. This is at least a nice play to get an on-base forward outfielder and a good defender. Offensive profile makes sense for potential success in that park...but he did fade hard down the stretch. Mears is a nice piece too

think people might be like "him?" but Rogers just gets results. Throws 70+ innings very good innings every year. love it.

Right-handed reliever Tyler Rogers and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a three-year, $37 million contract with a fourth-year vesting option, a source tells ESPN. One of the most consistent relievers in MLB goes to the AL champs. First on the deal was @Ken_Rosenthal.

briefly checked twitter (left my account to lurk on some news types who haven't switched) last night and was very confused why I was only seeing posts from 10 hours prior. apparently they've defaulted the "following" feed to "popular" now. anything to avoid chronological posts I guess

Jesse Plemons, Game Night
This is a fun question—best “serious” actor in a comedic role of the last decade?
It’s so much easier for comic actors to do drama than vice versa. Look at Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine or Truman Show, and then look at De Niro’s comedies, they’re terrible

the absolute best treat of seeing some dodgers games in person was watching teoscar play right field. the highlight of the year was during the pirates series when bryan reynolds was also doing it. like watching bird and magic, i assume
