Let's go play some baseball.

One and done.

One and done.

Real Manoa quote or not?

His article angels activate Manoa set for first MLB appearance since 2024.

That is what Alec Manoa said about his return to the majors.

So not much has changed.

Alec Manoa truly underrated quote giver.

I will take all of that that he can get.

And what a beautiful way to cap this tortured metaphor episode of At Letters than with that tale of the lion and the gazelle and how it relates to giving up six stolen bases over four and a third innings.

That's right.

So let that be a lesson to all of you.

Do you want to be the gazelle and be dinner?

Or do you want to be the lion and feed your family?

In the words of Alec Manoa, long story short, you've got to wake up and run.

It's at the Letters for Monday, May 4th, 2026.
