Hey all,

Wanted to offer up a quick update on the next episode of Baseball Bits. This is one of the most ambitious videos I've worked on in terms of scope and scale. It'll cover two topics: The Sweeper and Seam-Shifted Wake. If you've heard these terms thrown around the past couple years but aren't quite sure what they mean, you won't wan...

The next Baseball Bits is scheduled for release Thursday, April 27. That's pretty darn soon! The concept of the video is simply Bottom of the 9th, 2 Outs.

[BONUS] Why These 5 Players Aren't On The Foolish 50

Some bonus content for you all before the Foolish 50's release this Saturday. This video contains minor spoilers, because while I'm not discussing any players on the list, knowing 5 players that just missed the cut might help you narrow down who made it. Hope you all are enjoying the WBC! I'll be back with a Baseball Bits WIP update next week. 

Just some fun speculation

I'll be releasing my 5 Pitchers I Like, 5 Hitters I Like, and 5 Players I Dislike for the 2023 season on Foolish Bailey over the next couple weeks. I thought it might be fun to post what teams they are coming from, allowing you all to try to predict my picks. 

5 Pitchers I Like = TEX, CHW, ARI, NYM, CHC

5 Hitters I Like = DET, BAL, MIA, MIL, WSN

5 Players I Dislike = SEA,...

[NEW VID] How To Lie With Baseball Stats

Welp, this was probably the weirdest video release I've ever had. Initially wanted to upload this about a week ago, but of course, life had other plans. Still, it's here and it's good to go.

Just a heads up, new patrons through 2/13 got their names in the credits of this one. This was a few days before, err, "the incident." If you pledged after that date, your name will be featured in the...

Another channel update lul

Hey all,

Once again, I want to thank all of you for supporting me during this time. The channel was deleted on the morning of the 20th and returned to me yesterday evening on the 21st. 

We aren't quite of the clear yet -- some of the old videos (which were previously unclaimed) have received copyright claims. On top of that, Youtube is still (hopefully) populating my videos wit...

I'm back! (hopefully)

https://www.youtube.com/c/foolishbaseball

Just wanted to let you all know I've begun the process of securing the channel after it was hacked. I'm probably not out of the clear yet. Some have been in this situation, only for Youtube to ban the channel once it figures out the Tesla scam was emanating from it. ...

February Update (Works in Progress)

Hey all,

Baseball is back! Kinda. At the very least, pitchers and catchers are reporting to Spring Training. With this begins the return of the monthly Baseball Bits schedule.

I'll keep it short and sweet. The next Baseball Bits will be out between February 19th and February 21st. The topic? How To Lie With Baseball Stats. <...
