Hi friends-

Here’s the video of our book club discussion with Howard Bryant. We talked about his book on Rickey Henderson, the history of baseball in Oakland, integration, free agency, how the stolen base has evolved, and why young Black kids are picking football and basketball over baseball in 2025. Howard was a tremendous guest and everything he writes…

Hi all-

My friend Joe Posnanski and I recorded a podcast yesterday about what’s been happening in the Cactus and Grapefruit Leagues. We talk Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s filthy stuff, Shohei Ohtani’s surprise marriage, and Scott Boras taking rare losses.

Plus: where Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery, and Matt Chapman might sign, and why Joe wants me to write a book about the 2024 Oakland A’s.

We had a great time and we hope to record a pod every week until the season begins.

We hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening!

Free Friday newsletter from me coming shortly.

Hi friends-

Yesterday I had a lot of fun talking baseball with Joe Posnanski of Joe Blogs. Subscribe to his newsletter if you haven’t already. He’s as kind as he is prolific, and that’s saying a lot in our industry. (Trust me. He’s a gem.)

We talked about literally every team, broke down all the division races, and tried to make sense of what on Earth is going on with the Cardinals. I expressed concern and hope for Juan Soto… and then he went 4-4 with two doubles and a walk last night. (yay!) I also revealed my five current favorite MLB players (though Ronald Acuña is creeping in at #6). Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

Hi friends-

Joe Posnanski of Joe Blogs has a wonderful piece in this month’s Esquire on all the new rules changes in MLB that officials hope will make the sport more entertaining. To celebrate his story (and the first full week of spring training games!), we did a little podcast for you all on the changes, plus we discussed how these new rules tweaks will impact our favorite players such as Manny Machado, Zack Greinke, Justin Verlander, Trea Turner, Clayton Kershaw, etc. Give it a listen and let me know what you think!

Hi friends-

Joe Posnanski and I recorded a podcast yesterday where we tried to guess what will happen tonight in game 6, and tomorrow in game 7. (If there is a game 7). We were joined once again by the biggest Phillies fan we know, the truly lovely and hilarious Ellen Adair.

I’ll be back tonight at 5 PM PT/8 PM ET with (perhaps) our final live MLB discussion thread of the season!

Hi all-

Happy Halloween!

I’m monitoring the weather in Philadelphia closely from my apartment in Los Angeles (aka checking Twitter every five minutes for tarp updates). It’s looking like game 3 of the World Series might get rained out. I’m prepared to chat with you guys tonight if any baseball is played at all. Fingers crossed!

In the meantime, here is a fun games 3-4-5 preview I just recorded with Joe Posnanski and Ellen Adair to tide you over until this rain leaves us alone!

Looking forward to a fun weekend of chatting with you all. <3

Hi friends-

Joe Posnanski and I from Joe Blogs just recorded a World Series preview. My one-year-old pup, Georgie, could not contain his hot takes for when we began talking about Justin Verlander’s World Series struggles….

Anyway! Phillies! Astros! Bryce Harper! Yordan Alvarez! Kyle Schwarber! Jeremy Peña!

It’s all here.

See you guys in our World Series Game 1 discussion thread tonight!

Hi all-

Joe Posnanski and I recorded a special division series playoff podcast this morning. We talk about the Yankees, Guardians, Astros, Mariners, Phillies, Braves, Padres, and Dodgers.

Come listen to Joe and I talk Fernando Tatis Jr. and the Padres’ mess, the Yankees struggles, the Dodgers surge, the Mets, Shohei, Trout, the Astros, and more. We also debate whether Aaron Judge will have the *real* single season home run record if he passes Roger Maris, or if that will always be Bonds’ title regardless of how he did it.
