The Static of Strikeouts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Call this episode the “sequel” to “Swings and Misses,” which posted on August 20, 2026. After an innocent post on X, in which I merely noted that Pete Crow-Armstrong had 151 strikeouts (currently 161) to go with his 30 home runs, the response to that accurate statistic was less-than-charitable. It gave me reason to investigate the hypothetical: what if Crow-Armstrong and other hitters who generate runs well above league average worked to reduce their strikeouts?

Replay: Who’s To Blame For the Walk Up Song? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That’s the question that this podcast answers. Virtually non-existent before the MLB baseball strike of 1994, the walk-up song was ubiquitous by the end of the 1990s.

Baseball Players Are Not Disposable (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What do I mean by this? A post on X featured 30 “young” fans — one from each MLB team — who, in my opinion, lack a fundamental understanding of what it takes to play in the major leagues for decades. Each of them selects a player who, in their opinion, is “overrated” and the vast majority of them they name are among the best who ever played the game. The players that they name, in fact, deserve to be remembered for their greatness — and that they would be as good or better today than they were y
