I was going to have a “What will Bryce Elder do in 2026?” post for today, but life got in the way, so suffice to say, the first few days of 2026 have not been all too different from 2025 for me. But, things can change, and there’s a lot of year to go. So, […]

I didn’t realize that when we bought our house that we were moving into the Chainsaw District of town. This part of town is all about their chainsaws and lawn mowers and leaf blowers and weed eaters. And prime time for all of that is Saturday morning from 730-930am. It’s like the leaf blowers are […]

Well the NBP posted players all seem to be settled now, with Imai and Okamoto having signed with an MLB club and Takahashi returning to the NBP.

Well, we made it. 2025 was dicey at times, and I hope it ended on a high and/or restful note for you (I was not so lucky). Anyway, today is a calendar-imposed weirdness, a nominally “normal” Friday sandwiched between a holiday and a weekend, and then the grind of another year around the sun begins […]

That’s fairly intuitive, but unfortunately, it gets somewhat upended by reality. The Braves finished just inside the top ten in team stolen bases in 2018, and then again […]
