News & Notes
  • Now if Michael A. Taylor, who has recovered from his offseason ruptured heel and is back after losing twenty-nine pounds, can stretch the lineup one more spot, and if Tim Elko can reverse his OBP slide, and they can get decent production from Brooks Baldwin, the White Sox can add 67 runs and be the best offensive team in the league, especially in that park.

  • The season is the time for a team like the Astros to develop hitters like Brendan Rodgers, Cesar Salazar, and Jesus Sanchez, and let Jason Alexander eat innings to buy time behind Lance McCullers Jr. for J.P. France to mature.

  • Since who is on first, who pays any attention to the syntax of things, we will never wholly swing like Matt Olson, wholly never be fooled like Alex Anthopoulos while Spring Training is in the world that the Braves have a better fate than the wisdom that comes from failure, so do not cry--the gestures of Austin Cox, the laughter watching the struggles of Grant Holmes: we write for each other, for baseball is not a paragraph, and losing, I think, is no parenthesis.

  • One thing the Dodgers don't have to worry about is Teoscar Hernandez being cute, as he is so every day.
