I feel like this "Harper needs better protection to see better pitches" thing has become canon & stats just don't match. Look at it this way.. 3 guys hit behind him >100 times. Harper's zone%, by next-batter: Schwarber: 48.6% JTReal: 49.7% Bohm: 55.1% (!) Was Bohm protecting more than Schwarbs?!

I know this isn't the point but I am unable to process any more T. Rogerses

These are all good questions but I'm also interested in how quickly a man can add a lot of purple to his business wardrobe too www.denverpost.com/2025/11/08/paul-depodesta-rockies-key-questions/

The teams ranked, 1-30, as the off-season gets going -- meaning Schwarber is not a Phillie, Alonso isn't a Met, etc. Where do they start, and what do they need? --> www.mlb.com/news/where-e...

Baseball fans: how dare you make the smallest change to a rule Basketball:

It is November in NYC There is only baseball

@notmrtibbs.com oh hey

y'all seem to really like baseball bsky.social/about/blog/1...

Ace King, a real "12 year old making his own fighter pilot in a video game" name

I think I'm surprised Woodruff got the QO. It's basically $32m for him if he takes it (he already got a $10m buyout) and he doesn't exactly have a stellar recent history of health

I just really can't wait for @chadmoriyama.bsky.social to wake up

As a veteran of the mid-2000s Dodgers holy wars over DePodesta, TJ Simers, "google boy," trading away Paul Loduca, and whether or not JD Drew was a good ballplayer, I have so many emotions on this

I have 11 hundred million questions

"Lies," the jury said about the charges. "Eeeeeee-lies." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

I'm not sure I have any terribly strong opinions either way or the other on whether Dale Murphy should be in the Hall, but I keep seeing talk about how low WAR kept him out and ... he was on the ballot continuously from 1999-2013. WAR wasn't part of that discussion. That was old school voting.

I don't feel like people have fully internalized that whenever you hear a contract figure reported in free agency, the next question has to be: OK, but what's deferred and what's the present value? Ohtani's $700m isn't a little less than Soto's $765m, it's a *lot* less.

Pretty good read here on the AI bubble and how so much of the valuation is just built on lies lying to each other about lies www.theringer.com/2025/11/04/t...

Excited for *another* year of rollercoaster Cody Bellinger discourse. 2017-20: young star 21-22: hurt, bad, non-tendered 23: kinda fluky rebound year 24: good-but-less-good follow-up, as expected 25: outstanding comeback .. with massive home/road splits as a Yankee good luck valuing that!

Colorado still doesn't have their new hire for baseball ops in place. This is my favorite story of the year.

I really enjoyed this show so much, and it's been a while since I've had one like that

Turn the volume up is such a banger line.

RIP Gristedes

New York football fans are going to be an absolute treat when Daniel Jones and Sauce Gardner face Saquon Barkley in the Super Bowl this year

I was surprised to see Chicago decline Imanaga's option bc it's not much and their rotation is thin. I've also been very much the low man on him and he was throwing 90.8 this year with a massive K% drop and he was borderline unpitchable in the final month. There's a lot happening here.

Happy election day, NYC As a gift we've all gotten each other "taking a vacation day because the schools are closed again"

This is very much not the point but I'd kind of forgotten Sheff played for the Tigers and he took more PA for 5 other teams

I absolutely will never, ever stop thinking about the play where Jays kept IKF's lead short. There was a ~0% chance of Varsho lining out to 3B. There was a ~0% chance of Smith potentially throwing the World Series into left field on a back pick. So much fun to think through.

Wrote about how Game 7 not only had two of the five most impactful plays in history, it also had.. - the most impactful out ever - 3 of the top dozen plays ever - the most plays that swung championship WPA by at least 15% of any game ever (9) www.mlb.com/news/most-wi...

I am taking advantage of the first day without ball to ... Watch more ball

I like Jaxson Dart, but I think he's going to be George Springer levels of injured by Thanksgiving the way he plays

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

I'm still buzzing this morning. What an incredible game, what a great series. Tell you this: my 10 year old was bouncing off the walls and he's going to remember that for life. Awesome all around. (4 months until the WBC starts ...)

I'm sure no one wants to hear it from me but condolences to the Jays fans, an absolutely incredible season, a juggernaut of a team that deserved to win

I really think the Jays win the World Series if IKF takes a better lead off of third base when he got thrown out by Rojas. Leads! The small things matter so much.

One of the coolest games of the most exciting series of one of the most fun seasons in forever. The best. So good.

Welcome to the start of Game 9 of the World Series

Watching my favorite sport* (*wondering if I'll die tonight)

Running for Bo is really going to bite them when his spot comes up in the 12, 15, and 18th innings

Hell yeah, nine more innings of ball

This is The Good Stuff™.

Trey Yesavage, who famously was pitching to his fellow third graders at recess in Miss Reynolds's class just five months ago, is entering to pitch in Game 7 of the World Series

Did you know: Louis Varland is legally obligated to pitch in this game. It's in the Canadian Constitution.

This looks bad, but also there's absolutely no reason to hit the 9 hitter on purpose

Oh my god

I don't know how you're all getting your nervous energy out before Game 7, but I'm playing a quick (early!) set with the side hustle dad band wearing the only pin that actually matters

The most exciting thing about Game 7 is obviously that Will Klein should be available to pitch

And it is!

Great, smart move by Justin Dean there. That was great.
