There's the love of a good underdog story.
There's the hard-to- resist schadenfreude.
There the love of a good "Dream Team," and of Mark DeRosa.
There's the fact that I paid a lot for tickets to the semis and the championship game next week!

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

So fun to see him doing it in the WBC again.

And extending that analogy, "minimum viable product" doesn't work too well when building governments, militaries, public safety infrastructure, healthcare...

... or for that matter, secret police or concentration camps.

I've been thinking about the Rangers' decision to display One Riot, One Ranger, and what it says about who this team is for. So I wrote about that. It's a big ol' bummer.

History??

Donald Trump???

Don't forget that Trump is so profoundly ignorant of history that his chief of staff Gen. John Kelly once had to explain to him the significance of … Pearl Harbor.

All good (if glaring) observations.

What I'd add is just the emergence of what appears to be a clear across-the-organization philosophy, dare I say a "Nationals Way."

(Including a belief that practice should be harder than games, not the other way around)

House has so much power to unlock. If he does (and Abrams and Wood and Garcia and Crews and Lile too), I won't be shocked at all, and I don't care who takes the credit.

(but if Ruiz and Young join them then I'll have to give credit to Satan)

The MLB.TV app shows a variety of feeds. While I was waiting for the game feed to start, I was watching the MLB Network feed.

If you're tuning in to watch the Nats first spring game, turn on MLB.TV NOW -- they're about to show the MLB Tonight feature on Harry Ford.

Lineup management is going to give you a ton to write about in this new Nats era.
