Two things at the Hall of Very Good: There’s my latest Wisdom and Links, which looks at the most average players in history (Randy Bush! Dave Clark! The immortal Hugh High!).
In addition, the Hall of Very Good itself has added three new members: Jim Kaat, Lee Smith, and fan/celebrity entree Randy “Macho Man” Savage (who had a promising Minor League career that was cut short by injury). In addition, later this week the Glenn Burke Memorial Courage Award will be awarded.
So, make sure you check out Hall of Very Good throughout the week. Shawn and the rest of the gang has some good stuff coming.

“Deep Dream” turns baseball images into nightmares
Hey kids, it’s Hunter Pence!
Good old Hunter Pence, sticking his tongue out and diving for the ball…. now, let’s have Google’s Deep Dream take a look at Hunter Pence! It’s meant to show how a computer looks at things looking for images and such. So, what does it see with Hunter Pence?
AHHHHHHHH!
Oh, Wally. You scared me there. I was worried for a second…
AHHHHHH! PLEASE GOD GET IT AWAY FROM ME, AHHHHH!
Oh. Alex Rodriguez, you don’t look nearly as demonic in person as some people on the internet say…
I TAKE IT ALL BACK, PLEASE DON’T EAT MY SOUL!
Huh, a Dodger Dog and some beer. There are worse things, I suppose…
NOOOO DEAR GOD, IT’S BECOME LIKE A HORSE-FISH-DOG-CTHULHU THING! OH, THE HUMANITY!
Oh no…
Nonononononononononono
Ohgodohgodohgodohgod…
WHYWHYWHYWHYWHY
YOU MADE THE HOME RUN SCULPTURE WEIRDER?!?! HOW DO YOU EVEN DO THAT!?!?!
THAT’S SUPPOSED TO BE A BASEBALL GLOVE NOT A MANY-EYED MONSTER BEYOND MAN’S COMPREHENSION! I’M OUT OF HERE BEFORE I LOSE MY SANITY!
…
Oh, but the Art-Deco functions and stuff are cool:
Come back this weekend for Bizarre Baseball Culture, and until then experiment with the Deep Dream stuff over at Dreamscope.

Here’s a freelance story I did on Nathan Suyematsu, a multi-sport athlete who is currently playing for the Newark Pilots of the PGCBL.
And here’s a slightly-rewritten repost of my analysis of how much Bobby Bonilla gets paid by the Mets, despite the fact he is long retired.

Wisdom and Links has returned at Hall of Very Good! Check it out.
Tomorrow: @OOTPBaseball International Baseball Competition returns!
Tomorrow, the International Baseball Competition returns. Now, I’ve fallen a bit behind, so it’ll be a bit of a different format than in previous installments, but it’ll be here, and that’s all that matters! See you tomorrow!
NOTE: The Baseball Continuum is headed on a one-week (at most) semi-hiatus
The computer I use to do most of my Baseball Continuum stuff is going in to be repaired tomorrow and will be gone for up to a week. That’s the bad news. The good news is that, much like how the government has “undisclosed locations” and occasionally “home” games are played in Milwaukee, I have everything nice and backed up, so (hopefully) if something goes catastrophically wrong I’ll be able to pick up right where I left off with stuff such as the International Baseball Competition and so on.
I will, however, remain active on Twitter and also, if I get the chance, maybe post some smaller stuff (like MVP of Yesterday) on my other computer (AKA “The Gaming Computer”). Can’t make any promises though.
So… enjoy the games.
