News & Notes
  • Since who is on first, who pays any attentoin to the syntax of things, we will never wholly swing like Cole Young, wholly never be fooled like Justin Hollander while Spring Training is in the world that the Mariners have a better fate than the wisdom that comes from failure, so do not cry--the gestures of Jose A. Ferrer, the laughter watching the struggles of Gabe Speier: we write for each other, for baseball is not a paragraph, and losing, I think, is no parenthesis.

  • The Cubs need Moises Ballesteros healthy after his swollen ligament, and think if Dansby Swanson can be more patient and stop chasing the fastball, he can knock in 73 runs, along with Matt Shaw.

  • Meanwhile, the Rockies and Angels are competing with the Astros for Nick Fortes, and a deal could well happen in the next two days, since Colorado has a lot of young talent in the organization, and one -- Troy Johnston, whose tastier cream soda has suddenly put him on every GM's radar -- is so watery that Josh Byrnes says Johnston is brought up in every trade inquiry.

  • No, Tim Mayza is not related to Kyle Mayza, the lead singer for Bryce And The Driver, who penned the classic song "15th Blvd Hidden".
