“I had to take a driving test when I [came] over [to America]. I won’t have to take a test if I want to get a gun. That’s stupid. Whoever thought that was a great idea is an idiot.” – Liam Hendriks


Imagine wanting to attract the youth market to your sport, and thinking the way to do that is an 8:30am Sunday baseball game on a channel they maybe don't already get. Because two things kids love are waking up early on weekends and paying extra for stuff they already paid for.


For the first time all season, the #Athletics are using the same lineup for a second game in a row. For their first 38 games, they always switched up at least one spot the next day. Not certain, but pretty sure they also used 38 distinct batting orders during that time.


This was the MLB leaderboard entering today for highest exit velocities of the 2022 season. This afternoon Sean Murphy hit one 114.0 mph (16 degree angle, 405 feet, RBI double). That's a career-high EV for Cakes.

On top of the silly unwritten rule, what's even weirder to me is that bunting seems like the POLITE thing to do. Would you rather I swing away and maybe hit a homer or a double? Or hand you a warmup grounder with a low-percentage chance of a single? Bunting leads to fewer runs.

That figure isn't counting the other 16 minimum-salary players. The 26-man roster is around $44m now.

A’s payroll plummets to $33M. One more move and they will be 30th out of 30 teams, their apparent 2022 goal.
