The US is short a naked strangle on Iran. Short the call: dare Tehran to close Hormuz. Short the put: assume no full capitulation. Premium = ships moving, Epic Fury contained. Problem: Iran sets the strikes. Neither wing is hedged. Gamma is a tanker or a cave. No bought options anywhere.

Lovely article on Spencer Miles: “Twelve months ago, Miles was still recovering from Tommy John surgery. He hadn’t thrown a competitive pitch since June 2024, and he had never pitched above the Single-A level.” www.mlb.com/news/spencer...

“You know, Hazel, when I saw it was Daniel Aloysius Lynch IV, I said to myself, I gotta just stay in my legs, see it deep, let the barrel do the work if he makes a mistake middle-in.”

Yesterday the Royals started pitcher Daniel Aloysius Lynch IV against the Jays, and we won. Today the Royals had a homer against the Jays from a man named John Rave. We still won. How can you not be romantic about baseball.

What we all really want is for Peyton Williams to get called up to Toronto from the Buffalo Bisons for an interleague series against the Pittsburgh Pirates so that we can see Bubba Chandler face The Iowa Meat Truck.

In case you’re wondering how Daniel Aloysius Lynch IV has fared against, say, Mookie Betts: Mookie Betts is 1-for-5 against Daniel Aloysius Lynch IV in 8 career plate appearances, with a homer, 2 RBIs, 2 walks, and a sac fly. That’s .200/.375/.800. Not investment advice. Nor spiritual advice.
