Just when you thought we couldn’t possibly have more fun with our MLB All-Quarter Century Team than we’ve had so far … nope!We’ve made our picks for the starters on this team. You’ve made your picks. So what could get bigger or better than that? It’s time to announce the whole darned roster. That’s what. We should really be doing this standing at home plate … in St. Louis … or L.A. … or at Yankee Stadium. In prime time.

I've always enjoyed visiting Pittsburgh in the summer. Then again, I'm not Paul Skenes. Maybe you've noticed this, but when the Greatest Pirates Pitching Phenom Ever takes the mound, amazing things happen. It would be cool if winning was one of those things. But hey, don't get greedy!Here at Weird and Wild World HQ, we've spent some time looking at this.

Baseball. It never runs out of Weird and Wild plot lines. We appreciate that around here. So we saw a first-inning rally unlike any first inning in the history of professional baseball - all 150 seasons of it. ... And we saw a double play in which everybody touched the ball except the hot dog vendors ... And we saw a pitcher spin an incredible complete-game win even though he never had the lead when he threw a single pitch. All of that was amazing. And we invite you to stick around to read about it.

The people have spoken. Great to hear from you. Now I get to speak. A week and a half ago, I threw out the first pitch in our MLB All-Quarter Century Team project. I did that by presenting my (cough, cough) inarguable selections for who belongs on this team - our collection of the best players at every position since the 2000 season. About 9 billion reader comments later, I was starting to get the impression that you didn't feel like my picks ended this debate.

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Corbin Burnes recently learned something about baseball’s Automated Ball-Strike System that he found worrisome. “There is a margin for error that I think fans don’t realize, that a lot of players didn’t realize,” he said. So what makes that worrisome, for Burnes and other players? When MLB tested a challenge system for pitch location this spring, players and fans watched the animations on the scoreboard and assumed the Automated Ball-Strike System was fully accurate.

It's a fantastic new Starkville! Brewers manager Pat Murphy joins me & @dougglanville to make us think, make us laugh and make us understand what a great leader sounds like I highly recommend this one https://t.co/P1zdNxdTDN https://t.co/maHgtaOquB
