New Baseball Bits is live on Patreon for early access! It's a 30 minute history of MLB. Pledge today to preview it. If not, no worries. It'll be on Youtube for everyone soon enough. www.patreon.com/c/foolishbas...

I announced in January that I would be re-tooling my channels. More video on Foolish Bailey, fewer videos on Foolish Baseball, but of longer duration. The newest episode of Baseball Bits is finally here! And it's 49 minutes about The A.J. Preller Experience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZPD...

Bryan Abreu is in an interesting spot. Contract year. Consistently been one of the best relievers, but only 16 career saves. Hader might not be ready Opening Day. He's less than a year away from being the #1 closer on the free agent market, without having consistently closed.

Not a “my sport is better than you sport“ guy. But like, come on…

Hitters really do have a lot of control over their batted ball distribution. Max Muncy hit just one (1) opposite field groundball in 2025. When you're as committed to pulling the ball in the air as he is, the reverse rarely happens.

The Dodgers signing Kyle Tucker has made their intentions clear: they want to win the World Series.

These projections are my favorite part of the HOF tracking process. Really helps demystify the differences between public & private voters, as well as the effect of year-over-year net gains. Andruw Jones with a 90% chance of reaching the threshold is noteworthy here.

Aaron Judge may have won AL MVP, but 2025 was The Year of Big Dumper: www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5hs...

Hi. It's me. Famous Youtuber Foolish Baseball. I'm gonna tell you something that might hurt your feelings. I think you're wrong about Paul Skenes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg0h...

Someone had to be brave enough to say it, but we can't let something as pure and American as gambling be tainted by sports like baseball. My argument: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyKH...

My newest episode of Baseball Bits has a complicated thesis, which is that Corey Seager is good at playing baseball. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2KV...

Really glad that that back ailment Acuña had was just another example of that @foolishbb.bsky.social tweet where it's like "Every month Acuña dies, misses a game or two, comes back, resurrects and hits a leadoff dinger"

Was watching a @foolishbb.bsky.social video and this stat is so interesting.

They should put me in the Home Run Derby just so we can appreciate how great everyone else is.

Babe. wake up. New Baseball Bits just dropped. It's about the population decline of old hitters in MLB. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMtJ...

Not really impressed by Ohtani's balanced skillset as a two-way player. I am also just as good at hitting as I am at pitching.

I wonder if there will ever be any real pushback on legalized sports betting, or if there’s just too much wealth to be extracted from the lower and middle classes for a Come to Jesus moment to occur. You’d expect some form of dissent from social conservatives, but I don’t see a temperance movement.

Until 1913, baserunners were allowed to run in a straight line across the diamond from 1st to 3rd on a single, provided they could avoid the pitcher trying to tackle them. This was known as the “gambler’s shortcut.”

New Bits! As an analogue for Hank Aaron's consistency, let's talk about not his BEST season, rather his 15TH BEST season. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_3a...

Found a guy wearing just a T-shirt to the ballpark in 1956.

New Baseball Bits! Click for poor Joba Chamberlain, stay for info about the life cycle of Lake Erie midges. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJLf...

current Youtube obsession: this 79-year-old trying to improve his vertical leap

Trying to get better about sharing my stuff on Blue Sky, but here's my attempt to track down the "Timothée Chalamet At-Bat," a three-pitch sequence reminiscent of Will Sennett's strikeout tweet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=faAg...

Severance but for watching your favorite team lose.

First day working at MLB! My desk is right next to the big red flashing “BREAK MLBTV” button. I sure hope I don’t accidentally
