Fildear?

MLB Network’s template writes “Fildear” instead of “Fielding”. As a rhetoric prof this drives me insane. Or is “Fildear” a thing now that I’ll just have to live with?

I didn' see that!

Now that's just crazy talk

Will we see an Orioles/Rockies World Series within the next 10 years?

A month into the season, what have your cats' biggest improvements been? Are they sustainable?

Dan Szymborski

Justinian's gotten out of the habit of going under my desk and accidentally stepping on the switch of the surge protector while he's down there, so I'll call that the biggest improvement, but I don't know if it's sustainable

Dan Szymborski

His ROS wRC+ refers to his rest of season wRC+. ROS is just an abbreviation.
