Bryce Harper Talks Hitting blogs.fangraphs.com/bryce-harper...

The Red Sox are 3-for-their-last-32 with RISP.

Brandon Marsh came into the game with a .396 BABIP on the season, and a .373 BABIP for his career. Couldn’t find grass there with the AL’s best defensive CF.

Fifteen years ago today, the following words, written by then-managing editor Dave Cameron, appeared on baseball’s best website: “We are pleased to welcome David Laurila to the FanGraphs staff.” As the saying goes, time flies when you’re having fun.

Trevor Story is 4-for-25 with 14 strikeouts and no walks over his last six games, and he has a 39 wRC+ on the season. The Red Sox have a number of problems right now, and shortstop is one of them. .

Sunday Notes: Kai-Wei Teng’s Sweeper Takes a Sharp 90-Degree Left Turn blogs.fangraphs.com/sunday-notes...

Despite everything that's happened, the Red Sox are currently only one game below the playoff cutline. If the season ended today the AL would have two playoff teams with losing records. The Mariners (19-20) and the Tigers (18-21).

Yandy Diaz logged his 1,000th career hit tonight (his 134 wRC+ is the highest in franchise history), while Junior Caminero had a 449-foot, 114.3-exit veto bomb. The Rays have the most sacrifice hits, and fourth-most bunt hits in MLB, but it's not all small-ball.

Attention Yankees fans and pitching nerds.

Ranger Suarez not coming out for the fifth inning is more than eyebrow-raising. It is anxiety-inducing, and potentially yet another blow to a team for which little has gone right this season.

Tigers Southpaw Brant Hurter Is an Under-The-Radar Hurler Hunting Soft Contact blogs.fangraphs.com/tigers-south...

Despite his having thrown just 13-and-a-third innings — all scoreless — Mason Miller has a 1.16 WPA, second best among NL pitchers, and 1.0 WAR, tied for third highest. He leads MLB in saves (10), has allowed just five baserunners, and has 27 strikeouts to go with a 61.4% K-rate.

It is obviously way too early to consider Cy Young-worthiness, but Cam Schlittler leads AL starters in both WAR and FIP, and he has a higher strikeout rate than Tarik Skubal and José Soriano, who are likewise off to stellar starts. Schlittler also has a paltry 1.01% walk rate.

There is no stopping Franklin Arias. Homers in three straight games and in six of his last seven contests.

Red Sox infielders Trevor Story, Caleb Durbin, Marcelo Mayer, Andruw Monasterio, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa are a combined 53-for-298 (.178) with three home runs and 75 strikeouts on the season. (This is not good.)

The Greenville Drive (High-A Boston) currently has one of their backup catchers pitching -- he is throwing eephus after eephus -- in the late innings of a close game. Moreover, this is his third appearance on the season, and all have been on the mound..He has yet to hit of catch.

Oddly eventful ninth inning for the Tigers, who hang on to win. Interesting last frame.

Just turned on Red Sox-Twins and Target Field looks largely empty. Frosty Monday night in Minneapolis, I guess.

Good stuff here from Adam.

Let’s try this again without the typo: Looking like tomorrow's FanGraphs Sunday Notes column will be heavy on Milwaukee Brewers content. A lot of other stuff, certainly, but definitely a bunch of Brewers.

Kenley Jansen ties Lee Smith for third all-time with his 478th career save.

Tsung-Che Cheng hit for the cycle tonight for the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox. The 24-year-old shortstop also drew a walk.

Go Blue.

Brewers' four-run second inning at Fenway Park: infield single, walk, sacrifice hit, walk, E5, infield single, infield single, walk, DP.

Tomorrow's FanGraphs Sunday Notes column will be of particular interest for San Diego Padres fans.

Rece Hinds is 10-for-19 with three home runs and a 1.705 OPS over 25 Triple-A plate appearances. The 25-year-old outfielder in the Cincinnati Reds organization went 16 for 43 with five home runs and a 1.414 OPS in spring training.

Mentioned in my recent Luke Stevenson feature that Mickey Cochrane’s career .419 OBP is the highest for a catcher in MLB history. Another Cochrane note: In 1932, the HoF backstop had 23 home runs, 22 strikeouts, and 100 walks while playing for the Philadelphia A’s.

Listening to a variety of radio games, as I'm wont to do, I have been reminded early this season that Ken Korach is among the best of the best. Athletics fans are burdened by having one of sports' worst owners, but they do have a great play-by-play broadcaster.

Mookie Betts had a 135 wRC+, 464 strikeouts, and 371 walks with the Red Sox. Since joining the Dodgers, Betts has a 137 wRC+, 464 strikeouts, and 366 walks.

A few hours ago, a Red Sox-fan friend opined to me that the team has too many players who are prone to dumb mistakes. I pushed back on said opinion. May need to apologize the next time I see him.

Attention Mariners fans.

Your periodic reminder that “shutout” is a noun.

Eight MLB games have been completed today. Five of them went into extra innings, while another finished 4-3 with the go-ahead run scoring in the bottom of the eighth.

An important thing to remember on Opening Day is that however your team did today, that is how they will do all year.

One of the favorites for NL RoY is off to a good start.

Wetherholt is among the preseason favorites for NL Rookie of the Year. Pretty decent chance of that happening.

Watching OT in the Iowa-UVA Women's tourney game and have learned that it is possible for a player getting fouled while going up for a shot to be called for a flagrant foul... with both fouls counting.
