Baseball Blogging

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it harder to make a battery of casual blog entries about baseball than politics, despite having much to say about the former. I think it’s because politics lends itself more to straight-out application of opinion, logic and principle – at least the issues I tend to talk about often do, and I tend to shy away from the fact-based heavy lifting, beyond easily checked stuff like debate transcripts and vote totals. On baseball, though, I’m more inclined to assume that people read my stuff looking for harder-edged analysis with citations to the evidence, and it’s harder to find the time to do that on my schedule. It’s ironic, really.
