I would buy a new Switch and Smash Bros just for this.

Paul Gervase in Triple-A Durham this season had a 3.12 ERA with 63 strikeouts and 12 walks in his 40 innings. His 31.7-percent K-BB rate is fifth-best among all minor league pitchers with at least 30 innings this season

Seidler said something similar about the Dodgers not reputationally pumping their prospects, which got me wondering which orgs do have that reputation?

Yes, the Red Sox salary-dumped a home-grown star for an underwhelming return. But the thing is, he didn't want to DH and refused to play first. If they ever had a home-grown star who played every position he was asked to, there's no way they'd salary-dump *that* guy for an underwhelming return.

Somebody on bluesky said “this is dawning of the age of Casparius” to me recently. So I suggested to Dodger organist Dieter Ruhle that he might play “Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In” by the Fifth Dimension whenever Casparius pitches and he says he will do it.

Who is the genius who came up with this?

Do you think that if Disney started a hotline to report crimes and offered toys as a reward, they would call it Snitches Get Stitches?

Good morning. The Dodgers could find themselves with a long-term problem at third base and a long-term problem at catcher; there could be a single solution in something teams stopped doing 40 years ago. My piece today for @baseballprospectus.com:

The Dodgers and the Problem on the Horizon | Baseball Prospectus

For now, this is just a slump, but it's never too early to make a disaster preparedness plan.

Quote this with the player name and ballpark of the first player you ever saw in person hit an MLB home run.

Mine was Johnny Bench at Shea Stadium.
