- While Major League Baseball might be adding more offensive capability to the baseball, the KBO is doing the opposite according to Sung Min Kim at Fangraphs.
Anders’ picks...
- This guy knows how it’s done.

- No politics, but this seems pretty interesting and not super messy: Jay Inslee will soon have the chance to sign a bill into law that will permanently put the state of Washington on daylight savings time.
