After a month off we are gearing up to record again, and we’ve made some changes that should carry us deep into the playoffs. First: Say It Ain’t Contagious (SIAC) is now Left of Baseball (LoB)!

Since Professor Ngai's book is prize-winning, we think it's only fair to consider this interview prize-winning by association https://t.co/nTv5SXbn7F

I was a guest yesterday on the Start Spreading the News podcast. Talking baseball for an hour was a good break from writing and speaking about the war.

The people making these decisions regarding MLB and MiLB have consistently made every effort to cut costs at the expense of the game. Hard to grow baseball when the people with the power to do so treat it solely as an investment trying to maximize short term returns.

"if games are lost, many fans will not care to debate which side is at fault."
first off, that's bull. most fans *do* care who is at fault. they erroneously blame players + owners because few people rarely, if ever, correctly explain
who
is
at
fault
...and whose fault is that?
