baseball idiot featured in at least two to three serious sports publications. Sentimental notes on the Rockies as they slowly drive me to insanity can be found on my newsletter: rockiesvsconnor.beehiiv.com.

Gabe Hughes is leaning heavily on a fastball (55% of the time coming in, 57%+ so far tonight) and he’s survived by basically never letting guys hit it very hard. But tonight guys have hit it pretty hard. Rip

Woke 1 this, woke 1 that. How about instead of imagining a debate on old posts you think about this: it’s a 1-2 count, righty at the plate, you’ve got a fastball, slider, change, sweeper mix. Guys watched all 3 pitches so far. Whatre you throwing

combining my two thoughts of "the dodgers are annoying but people are being dramatic" with "everyone is dramatic about pretty minor annoyances these days" to formulate a nuclear level take

The height of COVID was an incredibly stressful time with a lot of individual & ambient cultural trauma attached to it and, also, at the same time, many of the people who are most vocally Not Over It and never going to Get Over It were basically asked to care about other people & be bored for a bit

The Odyssey was good, I think comfortably one of the better Nolans. I’m hoping we don’t think Tom Holland should keep getting work outside the MCU or like, buddy comedies from here on out though. Jeez.

Well Willi Castro keeps dropping the ball and getting eaten up by ground balls but that’s just the eye test you can’t trust that. If you check his range he’s also not good. So checkmate

Extending Moniak was a silly roster move, now getting worse with how much Jake McCarthy shows an ability to play on the road and against lefties. Not sure you can keep both AND Carrigg/Veen/Condon. Neither Jake or Mickey are anyone I’d keep around but seems like the Rockies chose the wrong one.

In the 90s, Seinfeld, the number one show on television at the time, had an entire episode where they make fun of how stupid the NYPD is and how worthless cops are for property crimes. If you made that any time after 9/12/01 you would be thrown in prison
