For subscribers to The Athletic, I posted a minor league scouting notebook<\/a>, with comments on players from the Red Sox, Orioles, Rays, and Nats systems. My first mock draft for 2022 will go up on Thursday, May 19th<\/sup>, and I’ll do some sort of chat or Q&A around it that afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Polygon, I reviewed Ark Nova<\/a>, the best new game I’ve played so far this year, a more complex title that draws heavily on Terraforming Mars but with streamlined rules and better art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sent out a new edition of my free email newsletter<\/a> yesterday, and I have to thank all of you who’ve sent such kind replies. I mentioned the possibility of an in-person event in London in August, and it looks like we’re going to be able to make that happen, with the help of a reader who works at a bookshop there. Speaking of books, Smart Baseball<\/em><\/a> and The Inside Game<\/em><\/a> are both available in paperback, and you can buy them at your local independent book store or at Bookshop.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On The Keith Law Show, I got the band back together with Eric Karabell<\/a> for a show last week. I was on the move most of this week (and then traveled again Thursday night) and didn’t have a recording window until Thursday morning morning, so I recorded next week’s episode with guest Jonathan Higgs of Everything Everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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