When I campaign for President, this is a contender to be my official song.
AGENDA
This Thursday is neither too thin nor too wide. It’s just right.
AGENDA
Gonna have to rapid fire this one…
AGENDA
If it’s any consolation, I was among the 67 percent of rosters that included Brendan McKay (-3.10 points). He was my most heartily touted pick yesterday, and I stand by the process that led me to him. Bad things happen to good people.
AGENDA
One, Two, Three, FOURTEEN!
AGENDA
An abject lesson in catcher framing.

.250 ISO— Brad Johnson (@BaseballATeam) August 15, 2019
Notice, these are IDENTICAL polls. In Tom’s, he displays Hitter A as having a higher average. In mine, I emphasize Hitter B’s greater ISO. In both cases, half of the voting public preferred the player with the higher stat. Indeed, framing is important.

I used starmaths (aka FanGraphs Guts!) to solve Tom Tango’s misleading poll question.

AGENDA
Sometimes, writing a lede in is the last thing I want to do. Well, technically, I always write it last.
AGENDA
This is one of the foulest-looking eight-game slates I’ve ever seen.
AGENDA
I’m running behind because…
It's a thrilling trade deadline in The Devil's Rejects (20-team dynasty). My team is stuck in 6th place with little opportunity to climb into the money (5th and higher pays).
