I had two posts for Athletic subscribers this week, one on whether the Reds have done enough<\/a> to contend\nin the NL Central, and one on the Starling\nMarte trade<\/a>. I held a Klawchat<\/a> on\nThursday, and a Periscope chat<\/a>,\nmy first since I started getting sick at Thanksgiving (after taking prednisone\nfor just four days!) and had a cough for most of the next six weeks. My prospect\nrankings will run on The Athletic the week of February 24th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over at Paste<\/em>, I reviewed Hadara<\/a>, a civ-building, card-drafting game\nthat made my top ten games of 2019. I keep comparing it to 7 Wonders because of\nthe similarities in themes and card selection, but it’s more in the “try\nthis if you like 7 Wonders” vein than a “this is too similar”\none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My second book, The Inside Game: Bad Calls, Strange\nMoves, and What Baseball Behavior Teaches Us About Ourselves<\/em>, is due out on\nApril 21st<\/sup> from Harper Collins, and you can pre-order\nit now<\/a> via their site or wherever fine books are sold. Also, check out my free email newsletter<\/a>, which I’ll\nget back to again this upcoming week in between writing words about prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
