Keith - have not seen you mention Black Map in your new music write-ups - didn't check out the new album yet, or not feeling it?

I think I included one of their singles on a playlist in maybe March? New playlist in the next few days too.

Is there too much good TV right now? I find I have to keep a list of what I want to watch because at every given time there are 5-8 shows that are really good. Invariably, i catch half of them, forgot about/delay the other half & maybe never catch up.

We feel like we're hopelessly behind. We did finally start Abbott Elementary last night and watched 5 episodes (of 13) ... it's fantastic. It's really just Parks & Recreation set in a Philly elementary school with a majority POC cast, but I'm on this show's wavelength and already love the character development. Also the principal had one line that made me laugh so hard we had to pause the show.

Noone from AA Harrisburg stuck out to you on your recent trip to see them vs altoona?
Keith Law

Correct.

Late to the chat, so apologies if you've answered this. But do you like how Tink Hence is being managed so far in 2022? I know he's a short & skinny guy (and the small sample results have certainly been fun) but it's late June and he's throwing 3 innings over and over....
Keith Law

Didn't he miss almost all of last year too?

How much of the Phillies' failure to produce good young talent is bad timing (having 1-1 in a historically bad draft), bad development (screwing up Kingery) or bad luck (Haseley). Still hopeful for Bohm and Stott and the Jersey Shore arms.

I think there was a combination of bad choices in the draft + poor development under the last regime. It's going to take a little time to turn that player development ship around, but I believe Mattingly/Fuld will get them there.

Like, you seem to legitimately believe that there is a female soul wandering through the ether that actually, accidentally found a host in a male human forming in utero. That is the basis of all “trans rights” ideas. Buying into this just obliterates my perception of you as a man of science.

This is just wrong. There's quite a bit of research on the biological basis for gender identity; you are either unfamiliar with it, or choosing to ignore it. It took me a few seconds to find this research paper on the subject: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7139786/

And here's another: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21334362/

There's plenty of publicly available research on this. Mischaracterizing it as woo, as you have, is quite a tell.

Best baseball movie, to you? We just saw Bull Durham again, and Tim Robbins is a real hoot, but that CAN'T be the best baseball movie ever...can it? (We like Long Gone, with Bill Peterson & Ginny Madsen the best.)

Sugar. And so few people have seen it

Any new 2 person games you've tried lately? Love Lost Cities and Jaipur, both from your recommendations. Thanks!

No but I've got two in the queue.

Funny or Sad?  Jays meet the Red Sox in the post season and the deciding game comes down to the Red Sox Hauck-less bullpen blowing a late lead.

Am I wrong to think that there has been way too little criticism of Houck for this? Not only is he wrong on the science, but the choice is selfish for him as a teammate and as a member of his community. There's no defense.

Re best baseball movie, Sugar is fantastic, but may I suggest Everybody Wants Some by Richard Linklater?
Keith Law

I love that movie. Excellent choice.
Time to go record the next podcast with DVR, so I have to wrap this up. Thanks so much for all of your questions. Stay tuned for more minor league scouting blogs and two more mock drafts over the next 2 1/2 weeks as we head to draft day, plus a Futures Game recap the night of the game. Stay safe!
