Honestly, I respect Ozempic more than "I went on water fasts like a Dark Ages religious fanatic because the UFC guy did it."

I guess if I'm squinting hard to find something optimistic here, I can say that it's a good thing they forced Murphy to have the surgery immediately instead of letting him play out the season like he wanted. Baseball players are not known for their extreme intelligence, but christ, that was a...

Looks like there are going to be a lot of guys to keep an eye on next year. That's different than saying it's a particularly great system, but at least we have more darts in hand to throw at the board.

“Stefan?”

The catcher's stare is definitely not giving "Well that was an unfortunate whoopsie-doodle!" vibes.

Congratulations on your new baby brother.

I like the Kim move, but we should be open to the possibility that he's toast at this point. His player profile at his peak -- excellent defender at shortstop, solid on base skills, minimal power -- is a pretty fragile build. It doesn't leave a lot of room for a graceful decline. Much like a...

I actually remember Gotay more as a Royal -- he was one of the thousand tiny specks of light Royals fans desperately sought in the darkness of the early-to-mid Aughts. And, in fairness, he did flash some genuine potential in the minors. But hey, good for him, finding another calling in the game.

Holy crap. Ruben Gotay sighting.

Hey, Bowman got through an entire tweet without saying "There is reason to believe that Bobby Cox will be here tonight...."

I'm not going into doom mode on Strider at this point, but I think he could probably benefit from sitting out a turn in the rotation or two. He's been through a lot over the last couple years, and he's a really thoughtful guy -- that's almost always a good thing, but there's always a danger that...

Huh. You're right. I don't know what his contract status is, but it would be nice if we could keep him next year. He's exactly the kind of useful bench player we haven't had recently.

"Braunschweig" sounds like a local craft beer with a frankly obnoxious amount of hops its brewers won't shut up about.

Video of Victor Robles chucking a bat at an opposing pitcher after a HBP (that he swung at, bizarrely). I particularly enjoy the emotional journey of the catcher, who starts arguing with the umpire (who granted Robles first base despite him swinging at the pitch), misses Robles throwing the bat...

My reaction to winning games at this point is, to a large extent, about how we win them. If we win a game because Elder throws a respectable start, Ozuna knocks in a few runs and Allen chips in a couple timely hits, I can’t enjoy that too much — it’s guys without a future here doing their jobs...

Gil Meche famously retired and voluntarily gave up the last (I believe) $11 million of his contract because he was absolutely sick of trying to rehab his injuries, and the CBA said that an injured player had to be working toward returning to the field in good faith. And Meche was willing to...

Much to the disappointment of Twins fans.

It's interesting how much better he's been at AA and AAA than he was in the lower minors.

"Glod?"

I was not expecting to see Mac Guscette's name today.
