I had one post of my own this week for subscribers to The Athletic, on my disdain for MLB’s proposal to keep expanded playoffs beyond 2020<\/a>. I also did a Q&A with our Royals writer Alec Lewis<\/a> and answered some questions for our Nats writer Britt Ghiroli<\/a> on each of those teams’ farm systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My guest on The Keith Law Show this week was my friend and former colleague Adnan Virk<\/a>, talking about the season to date and some upcoming movies of interest to him (he hosts his own movie podcast called Cinephile<\/a>). My own podcast is now available on Amazon podcasts<\/a> as well as iTunes<\/a> and Spotify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over at Paste<\/em>, I ranked the five best board game reboots<\/a> I’ve played, as a companion to last week’s review of Nova Luna<\/a>, itself a reboot of an earlier game called Habitats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been keeping up with my free email newsletter<\/a> better recently; my thanks to those of you who’ve signed up and who’ve sent kind notes in response to some recent editions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The holidays approach! My books The Inside Game<\/a><\/em> and Smart Baseball<\/a><\/em> make excellent gifts, or so I’m told by my editor and publicists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, the links\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
