Fair, balanced and always thought provoking
30 years is a long time in an ever changing business. Enjoy a well earned retirement 🙏

Didn’t mean this to be a multi-day thing.
And then my bosses made that beautiful announcement.
So this is here to explain how I came to be a sportswriter, why I was so lucky to be at @sportingnews and why it feels right to step back.
And to thank you! ❤️

In his past 11 starts, Mitch Keller has a 7.03 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP. He probably can’t help the bullpen, but if he went there it would sure help the rotation. Time to bring Mlodzinski back to the rotation.

There are multiple reasons why the #Pirates are falling out of contention, but this might be the biggest.
In Skenes’ first 9 starts, they were 6-3 and he had a 1.98 ERA and a 0.64 WHIP. In his past 9 starts, they are 0-9 and he has a 5.36 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP.

About 2 weeks ago, the #Pirates traded for reliever Hunter Stratton. In 5 games at Indy, he’s yet to allow a run. You think he might offer more than, say, Bidois, whose ERA is 6.32? Would someone please wake up Cherington.

El Himno de los Estados Unidos acá en Seattle ha sido una auténtica escena de película. Espectacular. Véanlo hasta el final. Brutal. Más de 65 mil personas, lleno absoluto. Estados Unidos demostrando que también es un país futbolero. Fabuloso.
