Knicks with ~20 consecutive of the most clueless offensive possessions you'll ever see

Last year, just two pitchers under 25 had a DRA- below 70 (lower is better). I would ask you to guess, but it's impossible without seeing the leaderboard: Grant Taylor & Justin Wrobleski. Now they're both converting to the rotation. @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

if you’re not from New Jersey this sounds like a gross exaggeration but it truly is not

Because what's on it is everything.

Ben Rice has just announced Paul Goldschmidt's retirement.

When Amed Rosario crushed that homer at 112.1 mph EV, I was thinking I didn't know he could do that. Turns out, he hadn't before. That's the highest EV of his career, beating the 111.5 he hit in 2021.

We're looking down on Wayne's basement. Only that's not Wayne's basement. Isn't that weird?

I have lost ALL respect for Austin Wells! His favorite movie. Ever! Is... Revenge of the Sith?? There are at least 11 better Star Wars movies.

C'mon, that can't be true! It's not like you can have a successful franchise just anywhere! Could you imagine a major sports team in a little place like, I dunno, Green Bay, Wisconsin? It would never work.

Lifelong Yankees fan. Between everything Jay mentioned and the huge lines to get into the stadium and at concession booths (I've spent multiple innings in line for an overpriced bucket of flavorless dry chicken), I would rather go to literally any other ballpark than Yankee Stadium.

My uncle just texted me that he discovered this incredible freak basketball player who's 7'4" and shoots like a guard, and I'm like yeah, I've heard of him.

You'll get it but you need to watch the slide a dozen times and friends, it is worth it

The phrase "universal" healthcare takes on a different meaning when you're talking about superhero astronauts who battle evil aliens. All humans deserve healthcare. I draw the line at my tax dollars paying for Galactus' colonoscopy.

Daniel R. Epstein changed his age to 42.

it's true. a lot of the emotional/psychological components are weaved through my story here defector.com/the-life-of-...

This legitimately sucks and I feel bad for him. We constantly underestimate the emotional and psychological components of working away from home from February through October with hardly any time off. I think it's a factor for a lot more players than we realize, especially in the minors.

Going to start a music project with an unclear number of collaborators called Goessse

Guilty as charged

The Yankees buzz Trout, Trout homers. The Angels buzz Judge, Judge homers. Maybe machismo isn't a good pitching strategy.

When my son hosts a D&D campaign with his friends and I make them burgers:

Jordan Walker. He's super good now. I broke down what's different about him. @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

I spent the day yesterday with some MAGA Catholic family members, and they were complaining that Pope Leo is too political. They said the Catholic church should stay out of politics. ... But when the church says abortion and homosexuality are sins, that's apparently not politics? Also, see history.

Today's @mlbguessr.bsky.social was much harder than yesterday's. The first one is a mea culpa to Blue Jays fans for yesterday's first picture.

For those in NYC, the New York launch of WE SACRIFICE EVERYTHING TO BASEBALL will be at @wordbookstores.bsky.social in Brooklyn on May 12. RSVP here with more info to come: withfriends.co/event/279338... ⚾️ 🌍 🇨🇿

A friend of mine created a really fun baseball guessing game. It's a great way to take your mind off things for a few minutes. mlbguessr.com

If the president is to be taken seriously, there's no other word for this but genocide.

In Search of a Compliment for the Angels’ Player Development System by Daniel R. Epstein (@depstein1983.bsky.social) www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

I looked for something nice to say about the Angels' player development, and I'm not sure I found one. Their draft and prospect placement strategies indicate they know they have no idea how to develop players. @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Buried under a mountain of crazy shit, imagine if Obama tweeted "Praise be to Allah" on Easter Sunday.

Stanton stole second base, advanced on a groundout that would've otherwise been an inning ending GIDP, then scored on a wild pitch. Stanton!

Giancarlo Stanton just stole a whole base, all by himself

2026 Called Strike Rate By Proximity to Border of Strike Zone Initial Umpire v Final including ABS The more calls are reversed, the steeper the curve to expect. Perfect challenges would have a line straight down at 0

Konnor Griffin should retire right away. His batting average will drop more than 600 points if he sticks around.

Exit velo 105.8 mph on the ball he hit Exit velo 10000 mph on the decades of ennui in Pittsburgh

If you're in the Massachusetts area, I hope to see you on Wednesday night @silverunicornbooks.bsky.social! That night, @mikepetriello.bsky.social will be joining to talk about Baseball Czech and all things World Baseball Classic. Come on out! www.silverunicornbooks.com/events/49262

Make Mike famous for this

On Konnor Griffin Day? Disrespectful.

It's going to be challenging for Griffin to bear the burden of living up to Bailey Falter's legacy.

The Yankees are going to have a lot of games like this, and like on Monday, where they get incredible starting pitching and the bullpen craps the bed.

This is good and you should read it

Really enjoyed this piece, a glimpse into how baseball affects more than baseball.

The other guys up for this position had been working in the Rockies’ system for over a decade and in baseball for two decades. Extremely difficult business to tell people “just work hard and pay your dues and you’ll be rewarded.”

"I have the implosion of the Kingdome downloaded on my laptop so that whenever I need a pick-me-up, I can watch it." - David Cone

eh, Italy’s always been more of a baseball and speed skating country

Only a certain kind of person has hair like this
