@acdeleon So sorry for your loss, Alain. My condolences to you and your family.

[Brandon Kruse @bpkruse]

@RayHQ Got the same diagnosis about 3 years ago; doing physical therapy and the at-home exercises they assigned me were a huge help.

[Brandon Kruse @bpkruse]

@ArmchairRoto @BaseballHQ Thanks! It was a lot of fun putting the pieces together on that one...

@scalepluspoints You are not alone! I loved Jojo Rabbit, too, and liked Dolemite and Knives Out better than Once Upon a Time, which I thought was good but not great.

@mdrc0508 Thanks!

[Brandon Kruse @bpkruse]

@kwhiteii You are correct, he has been put on an innings limit—I hadn't seen that, so I just added that tidbit to today's Matchups column. Thanks!

@RyanBHQ Just filed a Facts/Flukes column with him in it that will run on Sunday...

[Alfonso Cuaron @alfonsocuaron]

In the history of CINEMA, masterpieces have existed without sound, without color, without a story, without actors and without music. No one single film has ever existed without CINEMAtography and without editing.

[Patton Oswalt @pattonoswalt]

Whenever Bob Einstein was on Letterman as “Super Dave” it was un-missable. No one was more confident with the long payoff. A genius panel guest. Look how excited Dave is to have him on: https://t.co/WELSE0ZH8B

Very interested to see what Nimmo can do this season. I like his upside potential, especially if Callaway has him bat leadoff.

@DrewDaywalt I can only imagine how hard that must have been to be separated like that. So glad you are back with them and that you all made it out safely.

What is on my mind will be coming out of my mouth as you watch this:

[Brandon Kruse @bpkruse]

@granlebodaju I meant similar in terms of taking a step forward in underlying skills—and Pivetta's 2018 was ruined by bad luck on hit and strand rates. His expected ERA was 3.51, wouldn't be surprising to see him push his ERA under 4 in 2019.

[Brandon Kruse @bpkruse]

Increased fastball velocity and added movement on his slider helped Zach Eflin ramp up his strikeout rate and go from an afterthought (5.85 ERA in 22 GS for 2016-17) to an intriguing young arm for 2019. I see some similarities between him and Philly teammate Nick Pivetta. #BF19
