It’s nonsense. But makes sense.

No replay of the throw home? Fail.

No context Ryan Lefebvre: β€œI think the bunt is making a comeback.”

This race is unhinged. I am entertained.

Baseball is happening. So much baseball is happening.

I’m skeptical this will advance the broadcast in a positive direction.

This isn’t going to help. My household used to shop at Target almost every week. Since Jan β€˜25, we spent a total of $94 there…because it was the ONLY place where I could get a gift for someone. We changed our shopping habits. Thought it would be difficult. It wasn’t. We are not going back. Fuck β€˜em.

Seems like it’s going a little better.

Maybe the Royals should switch back to FanDuel.

Pitch chart with the 11 called strikes for Alex Wells tonight. Only four were actually in the zone, with the remaining pitches well off the plate.

These were the...ahem...called strikes for Australia's Alex Wells tonight against Chinese Taipei.

I’m with Coach Self. Think I may eject myself from watching this crap.

Still not into updated but Jac just laced a double at 120.2 mph.

Ryan Lefebvre’s description of pitch locations so far is NOTHING like what is illustrated on MLB Gameday.

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

I am not into giving spring training game updates, but will make an exception when Jac Caglianone hits a ball 115 mph that travels 460 feet. It sounded as if the ball was vaporized.

I'll echo this as I did it myself a little over a week ago. The only thing that didn't make the trip over were comments. That didn't surprise me. Otherwise, I've been very pleased with how seamless it's been.

Is Luinder Avila a fit for the rotation? Matt Quatraro says Luinder Avila has front of the rotation potential. The Royals pitching depth is insane.

Seth Lugo will be followed on the mound by Luinder Avila in today's Royals Cactus League game against the Cubs. I wrote about Avila and how Matt Quatraro thinks he has "front of the rotation stuff" last week at Into the Fountains. Now on Ghost!
