So @DSzymborski put together a @fangraphs starter pack for our staff and contributors on Bluesky. Everyone who hates your favorite team is already there bsky.app/starter-pack/d…
The rapid influx of newcomers over at Bluesky, baseball and otherwise, is accelerating my plans to blow this fascist popsicle stand. Details TBD.

Haven’t quite weaned myself off of this dying bird app yet, but I took it off my home screen today, making it harder to use. I don’t take the audience I’ve built here lightly but planning to be much less active here esp with the Bloosk audience growing rapidly. Come find me.
I get that not everybody is down with this style but IMO this is a call for the ages
Congratulations, @davesims_! This is excellent news for Yankees fans
Dave Sims, formerly with the Mariners, is the new radio voice of the Yankees. More below from @AndrewMarchand nytimes.com/athletic/59230…
NEW: Trump has tapped for his cabinet, two GOP legislators—Rubio & Stefanik—who each confirmed that Putin attacked the 2016 election to help Trump. In 2020, Rubio produced a 966-page report detailing this. So there's no hoax & they know Trump's lying. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
A loyal reader of mine suddenly lost her husband this week. In what's already a dark time, she could really use some help. Links here: linktr.ee/LaurelKrahn (see below)
My husband died suddenly & he did all the cooking & I'm a wreck who has trouble feeding herself. Gift cards appreciated for: DoorDash GrubHub Instacart Amazon Target Pizza Luce Send to LAKRAHN at Gmail Or just send cash: Venmo (Laurel-Krahn-1). Thanks so much. 🧵
new @fangraphs: the latest entry in my Era Committee ballot series covers the recipient of the most famous sports medicine procedure ever, Tommy John. Weighing his longevity vs. low peak while accounting for his historic role isn't easy.

2025 Classic Baseball Era Committee Candidate: Ken Boyer by @jay_jaffe for @fangraphs: The following article is part of a series... buff.ly/3URWvOj
the baseball chatter is much better on Bluesky, and that will definitely be true for Hall of Fame season given that the Ballot Tracker is over there.
A tale of 2 platforms. Same article promoted and re-shared at same times here & on the Bloosk, the latter to a following 1/7 the size, but not fucked over by an algorithm. I appreciate the audience I’ve built here, but you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
Programming note: Next up in my Classic Baseball Era Committee ballot series is Tommy John. That profile will run @fangraphs tomorrow. You can catch up on the intro and the other 3 candidates I've profiled thus far via the navbar across the piece below.
New @fangraphs: the third entry in my Era Committee series covers Ken Boyer, an outstanding two-way third baseman who should be enshrined but has never gotten much traction from voters and faces a particularly rough road via this ballot and format.
🐍New wNS9+ tonight🐍 Tonight, we’re discussing The Cobra and his HOF candidacy. And who better to join the show than @jay_jaffe? When: 9pm Where: youtube.com/live/6kwoHY358…
