My advice to writers is you learn to self-edit "embiggened" to hopefully sneak in a "1916-ass numbers"
Today at Baseball Prospectus, I build off recent pieces at the site and ask if it's getting late early:

The Phillies are a mess and the Eagles are a soap opera and the Sixers are a joke, but you're all in for it if the Flyers go on a run. Those freaks have been waiting for something like this longer than some of your children have been alive
I had to stop my tired, passive Simpsons brain from usurping my active human brain and actually said "no" to myself, as if one far away chamber yelled to another through the darkness
just seriously considered writing "embiggened" in a piece
Red Sox, announce a Payton Tolle call-up, you cowards
yes, we have outrun rational and are now trying to find new language, aren't we
the stoppable object vs the movable force
i'm not trying to be hyperbolic but i can't believe the phillies are never winning another game
This baseball season is too weird. I reject it
Concerning, honestly
Penguins coach looks like Joe Giglio, that's a terrible omen no matter what. Vile vibe
I'm here to be a pedant and note that if it's "behind the play" then it's not "finishing your check"
I mean it looks like they didn't drink water for 48 hours and then saturated their jerseys in the byproduct
Are we talking about the Pens wearing their piss yellow jerseys tonight yet or
May shock our dear and kindly editor but I cut the Quinn Mathews blurb short in this week's stash list. Wanted to include how the Fitta injury could mean a less complicated path to opportunity for him and Cijntje. More true now that Fitta is done for the year, Godspeed to our 80-grade name king
Goddamn I missed these posts
i think the real point is just swap out kemp. can't be committed to that roster spot by any means other than figuring out who gets to keep it
With Coleman Crow's debut tonight, he's the fifth Stash List guy to get the call already. This week, 11 new names pushed onto the list. Which of them debuts next? Check it out for yourself:

this shouldn't even count, no one should be subject to either of these things still happening, let alone on the same pitch
feels bad, man
i hear lucas giolito is available
getting pantsed by the braves, as the mets stink out loud and atlanta jumps out to a divisional lead with 40% of a real rotation, is about as bad of a start as you can earn for yourself
the phillies? from philadelphia, you say?? i only watch james baldwin biographies. with my ears! do you see what i'm saying?
Listen: please don't put in the papers that I got mad
This really just goes back to needing a real fifth starter because you can't demand the rest of the team plays utterly perfect every fifth game at this rate
Especially if Taijuan F. Walker is on the mound, because he's apparently so down bad he can give up homers to 2026 Austin Riley instead of ending the gd inning
If JT's bat is going to be the dust that the cushions turned into in my house's disintegrated basement couch in 1998, and his framing stinks, he has to be able to receive the occasional outfield assist
Respectfully if a guy who looked like, uh, Acuña whiffed on a play like that, LA would be excoriating them instead of making excuses
Yeah baby
If Phillies starting pitching has a BABIP season like the bullpen had a nightmare season(a) years ago I might go blind on purpose
