The week ahead

Aside

Due to some other things going on, I didn’t quite get everything written that I wanted to. So the week ahead looks like this:

  • Thoughts on early morning baseball.
  • Another neat link.
  • Maybe a Famous for Something Else.

As always, this is subject to change.

Looking ahead…

Aside

Last month (July) was the most-visited month at the Baseball Continuum since 2019! Thank you!

Here’s what you can expect in the coming days:

  • The “What If?” on the Sydney Olympics baseball dream team.
  • Thoughts on early morning baseball.
  • A neat link!
  • Another neat link!

And, of course, there may be more as well…

Introducing “Glick on Gaming”

Back on the 4th of July, I said that that I wanted to start doing some non-baseball stuff on here as well.

This new feature, Glick on Gaming, is one such feature.

As the name suggests, it is about gaming. Video gaming, to be more precise. It’ll be an irregular feature with no real schedule, basically coming along whenever I finish a video game or want to talk about it. The form it will take will also be highly variable: sometimes it could just be a few short lines, other times it may be a long essay, review, or rumination.

Among the games you can expect to see covered in the opening parts of the feature are Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Kingdom Hearts, and Red Dead Redemption II.

So keep an eye out!

Aside/Update

Aside

Tomorrow (Thursday), I’ll have my final Olympic update before the opening ceremonies.

This weekend, I’ll have an introduction up about a new non-baseball feature.

The Week Ahead

Aside

It’s time for a look at what you can expect from the Baseball Continuum in the week ahead:

  • Olympic update. There have been some late changes to some Olympic rosters due to things like injury or suspension (two members of the Korean team have been replaced after they were found to have ignored social distancing during a recent increased COVID outbreak, for example), so I’ll note that.
  • Final Olympic preview and thoughts on the Olympics in general: Exactly what it says on the tin, complete with my prediction as to how the medals will turn out.
  • Potentially a “Neat Site” will be shared.
  • Possibly the first of a new feature that isn’t about baseball.

Stay tuned!

Here’s what to expect in the week ahead here at the Continuum:

  • On Monday, a consideration of who would be in a hypothetical “All-Time Home Run Derby”. No restrictions on league, era, or anything else.
  • On Wednesday, random assorted thoughts on the All-Star break.
  • On Thursday, I wrap up the Olympic team previews with Team Mexico.
  • The rest of the week, if anything, is TBD.

Thanks for reading the Baseball Continuum!

Neat Site: Baseball Mexico

The only remaining Olympic Preview left to go is Mexico,so it is fitting that this week I’m sharing the neat site of Baseball Mexico. Calling itself the “world’s leading English language source for Mexican professional baseball news,” there is about an update a week. And, yes, it includes updates about how Bartolo Colon is doing in the Mexican League.

Check it out here, if you’d like.

4th of July Blog Dealings

Happy 4th of July! Here’s an update on some of the stuff you can expect in the days and weeks ahead.

  • As I said yesterday, this coming week will primarily be Olympic previews as more rosters become available. There will also be a neat link put up next Saturday.
  • The blogroll is a bit out of date now due to some sites either going under or ceasing to update, so I’ll be making some changes sporadically in the days ahead.
  • Bizarre Baseball Culture and Breaking OOTP remain in development but I don’t have a specific idea of when they’ll be ready yet.
  • I also may be putting up some non-baseball writing on stuff like video games, movies, etc. in the not-too-distant future.

The schedule ahead

Aside

Later today (Saturday) or possibly tonight, there will be a post about the Blue Jays in Buffalo.

There will be Olympic previews throughout the coming week on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, depending on if rosters have been released. As of now South Korea and Mexico have released rosters (along with, of course, the USA and Japan), but to the best of my knowledge the Dominican and Israel have not. The order in which I do the previews will be a bit dependent on roster releases so I can’t give a hard schedule.

Next Saturday, there will be a neat link.
