Tony and I were bored out of our freaking minds, and I wanted to make something with dates because I had heard that they were a great way to naturally induce labor and shorten labor time. Not sure if that’s an old wives’ tale because my labor was 36 hours, but I digress. I whipped up this tahini date smoothie and immediately knew it had to go on the blog.

Fantasy Baseball is a research-intensive sport. While the managers buried in Statcast data, ADP trackers, and division previews during February seem to be overcomplicating things, they’re really building a structural advantage that will compound throughout the course of the 26-week season. According to FantasyPros Analyst Justin Mason: “Managers who create their own rankings 10 minutes prior to the draft will almost certainly finish dead-last.” This statement seems extreme; however, there is evidence to support it. Pre-season research gives a manager a draft-day edge. The draft is the most important event of the season; every pick creates either equity or destroys…
