I’d love for you all to check out our team’s story - the true definition of underdogs, competing against giant leagues and still finishing top 8 in SoCal States.
If you feel so inclined to donate to their cause and help them get there, I’d be forever grateful.
Our 12U team arrived at the field at 6:15AM for warm-ups, won five consecutive games in 95 degree heat to qualify for Western Nationals before losing the sixth game that started after 8:00 PM, 5-2.
We didn’t leave the field until almost 10:00 PM.
As most of you know, I’ve been writing less while dedicating my time coaching my children’s baseball/softball teams.
Our little softball league did the unthinkable this past weekend in USA Softball of SoCal’s State Tournament in Lancaster, CA.
For those interested in the 2025 #LABR schedule, we have dates for the four #fantasybaseball drafts.
Mixed draft: Feb. 25
AL auction: Feb. 28
NL auction: March 1
Mixed auction: March 2
League participants and live draft grid links will be posted very soon.
Stuff+ is updated! Max Bay @choicefielder.bsky.social, between his jobs with MLB teams, along with Owen McGrattan and Matt Dennewitz @mattdennewitz.bsky.social worked hard to bring the metric back into top of the class. Find it @fangraphs.com

One of my favorite leagues, Tout Wars Draft & Hold, will kick off on Tuesday, 2.18, @ 1:00 EST.
15-team, 5x5 roto w/OBP in lieu of AVG.
I'll be picking No. 1 overall.
So many options...
Another one of my favorite leagues that I have the privlege to be in, #MixedLABR, will also take place on Tuesday, 2.25, but at 8:00 PM EST.
15-team, traditional 5x5.
No word on draft order just yet.
On the heels of the Soto/Alonso Et al. signings this winter, it still feels like the Mets may be a frontline starter short.
The Padres and Dylan Cease could be a fit?

@enosarris.bsky.social and I have Part 3 of our 2025 Starting Pitcher Preview, which was just extended by an episode (dropping early next week).
Worried about Luis Gil's walk rate? Maybe you shouldn't be....
