Kade Anderson doing a drive thru photo op at Raising Cane's as part of a promo ahead of the College World Series
Shameless bump, but I offer this photo in good faith
A photo from behind of someone's laptop screen, displaying TJStats.com. Beyond them is the UCLA logo behind home plate. It is creepy and weird to post a photo of someone on social media so I have saved this until after the game. It's still weird, but maybe a bit less creepy.
Hell yeah @tjstats.ca at the old ballpark.

Hunter Greene has bone chips and loose bodies in his right elbow. Will have arthroscopic surgery Wednesday. Timeline for a return is 14-16 weeks. #reds
CONTROVERSY- Well, maybe just dissonance. Kade Anderson's vaunted fastball looks a bit disappointing in Spring Training. It's neither fast, nor shapely. That doesn't mean it can't still be highly effective.

McCann's thousand yard stare on the bench said it all. Brutal season for Schwartz.
Canzone is the best hitter in the world on that very pitch

Huge day for the 2008 amateur signings of the Seattle Mariners.
Phil Freeman: It didn't swing, the solos weren't even a little bit heroic, and it had electric guitars... But though In a Silent Way wasn't exactly jazz, it certainly wasn't rock. It was the sound of Miles Davis and Teo Macero feeling their way down an unlit hall at three in the morning. It was the soundtrack to all the whispered conversations every creative artist has, all the time, with that doubting, taunting voice that lives in the back of your head, the one asking all the unanswerable questions."
In A Silent Way is my favorite Miles Davis record, which is slightly controversial (lots to choose from). But I think this description from Phil Freeman sums it up well.
Not to say I'm not incredibly optimistic about Anderson. Or that his stuff is defined by two abbreviated Spring Training outings. But expectation setting with the Mariners is always difficult. Everybody is enlightened in March.
Tough to make sense of Anderson. The org is heavily implying he's ready to go, the beat writers are letting them push that narrative, and it's hard to know whether there's something less measurable about him, or if that's just talk talk from the talk talkers.

Can someone explain why Kade Anderson's fastball is so well regarded? It appears neither fast nor shapely, but I'm out of my lane here.

Kinda hilarious that the Brendan Donovan trade got accelerated along finally because Dave Cameron texted Jeff Sullivan to let him know than Ben Williamson was available.

Watching the World Baseball Classic. Cal Raleigh is up. My wife says “that guy’s got a big butt”
I tell her: “you’ll never guess what his nickname is”
Kade Anderson (SEA) threw three scoreless innings in his second spring training start
Would love it we could lean more heavily on income tax for the full state but a fine enough start
One note about Brennen Davis is his pull-air rate in AAA last year was 37.3%, which was the top mark in the minors. The contact quality is tremendous, as evidenced by today's EV.
"Just" a matter of 1) staying healthy, 2) developing any sort of approach.
Sprint Training stats etc. etc. but the max EV has my attention; former FanGraphs top 25 prospect, still looking to make MLB debut
Bobby McMann traded from the Leafs to the Kraken for a 2nd 2027 and a 4th in 2026.

One thing I love about the preview series this year is these All Goes Rights/Wrongs for each teams and the way they're in conversation with each other. Today's features the A's and Wallace Stegner: www.lookoutlanding.com/seattle-mari...
From the #Mariners game notes, Kade Anderson will start Friday against the Rangers in Surprise.

Original sketch, World Baseball Classic logo, 2005. Everything starts with something, somewhere, somehow. Back then you got a sense of what the event's potential could be, but you had to squint a little bit and project forward, far into the future.
