Oh where, oh where has 2023 gone…
The 2023 Minnesota Twins season will always represent a peak moment in my fandom.

Zach of all trades: Agnos pitches when and where needed for Rockies
Zach Agnos loves doing impressions. So when the outgoing 25-year-old got the text from Warren Schaeffer telling him he’d be starting instead of waiting in the bullpen on May 21 vs. the Diamondbacks, Agnos stuck with his pregame routine.

Old-school baseball guys think the 60-game mark is where a team needs to re-assess where they are at versus what they thought they had coming out of spring training.
