Today's links might seem overly enthusiastic, but you've got the whole weekend! Ration them, if you must, between now and Sunday Night Baseball ...
- If you read just one thing today, it should be this long and insightful interview with Craig Wright, one of the more brilliant people who's ever thought about the game.
- But I hope you read more than one thing, including the entertaining leftovers from Tyler Kepner's visit with Vin Scully.
- In case you missed it, here's a graphical recap of last night's Mile High thriller.
- A bit more on what Matt Joyce's promotion means for Tampa Bay's lineups.
- Yes, it was probably a balk ... and yes, there was still way too much lousy baserunning Wednesday night, as Joe Torre undoubtedly told the Dodgers the next day.
- Ray Knight vs. Rob Dibble in the best celebrity cage match, ever.
- Even the numbers you would think we'd have down cold, we don't (and it's Strasburg-related, just in case you need an inducement to click).
- Hey, the Twins and Mets aren't the only teams who should be thinking about Cliff Lee, and Beyond the Upper Deck makes a good case for the Reds.
- Stephen Strasburg, according to PITCHf/x (and yes, he's just as impressive here as on TV).
- Remember my post about Mike Scioscia and the Angels' annual overachieving? Wezen-ball puts it all into some historical perspective (more essential reading, methinks).
- Jeremy Greenhouse has everything you wanted to know about the shift but were afraid to ask.
- You know I love you, Craig Calcaterra ... but I've got a new favorite legal expert (and I think you'll understand).
