The cowboys were after Crosby and offered two firsts
Why did they not just pay Parsons again?

The Ben Rice helium has deflated. It shouldn’t.
Cags hits the ball as hard as Kurtz in the air—but not often enough—with better contact skills. Is he a Kurtz/Yandy mashup?

Pete Alonso ripped 89 barrels last year
38 homers
Usual HR/BRL would be ~49 of 89
Camden changes made it a 108 for RH HR
Citi was a 98 (but 109 rolling 3 yr)
His brl% could drop but HR rise
Good stuff, Frank. I’ve noticed Dicky Fitts has the velo up. Interesting given that rotation.
Fox Newwws launched Oct. 7, 1996
Answer implied in the second tweet.
Fox launched Oct. ‘96
Latest from the up is down ticker
THAT’s the scary idea
Enjoyed your appearance on EW pod.

1 Satire. “THIRD way,” almost 20 years old, gets ingenuous treatment for “new” Combative Centrist consultant lmfao
2 Warning. No one has better sources w/ these cynical grifters and their deep procedural plan to fulfill the DNC’s confused objectives

Definitely can be done in a couple weeks with no further entanglements
What if it takes years to see it through to compl—
Preemptive mission accomplished!
If it’s possible to regret / have fomo for post 400 picks
Mick Abel is it
55% FF whiffs today brought the pitch’s whiff% *down*
Braves backups but he had 70% FF whiffs vs Tigers regulars last start
Most importantly: 60%+ zone rate on both fastballs
He’s ⬆️ to 350ish in recent OCs
Experts unanimously agreed Cam Johnson for MPJ was a yooge win for the Nuggs
I’m sorry but he doesn’t play with force, isn’t a tertiary ball handler, low reb%, and not even shooting well
Never understood the obsession here
(m/w bad team but Porter is lighting it up as primary scorer in BK)
ST notes:
KC v Col: Cags 2B (115 EV), 3 bb
Condon HR (116 EV)
Cle: Bibee more cutters, same rough results (3 h, 3 r, 0 k)
Hou: Burrows ⬆️ sinkers, ⬇️ FF, 3 ip, 1 h, 1 bb, 0 R, 4 K
Tor: Cease velo good, 8/15 whiffs
Pit: Brax results good (0 R, 1.80 era, 2 K), whiffs ⬇️
Bubba C 3 bb in 1.1 IP, 2 R
Answer is language is not the same
(Also would you believe them even if they said it was?)

More enshittification:
“Lilly” blasted from the front of the Inside the NBA desk
Pharma, insurance cos., ai— if it’s popular the destabilizing forces of capital will find it and make us feel a little fucking gross for participating
Suspect Silver got tired of hearing his league didn’t play defense but no idea what qualifies as a perimeter foul anymore
It’s now standard for nba defenders to put hands ON the chest or through arms of ball handlers
These were reaches for 85 years

I agree there’s a fun element - I just don’t need it. And I suspect fans will treat players like umps, ie expect em to get it right, blast them when wrong, esp as stakes rise. That’ll be less fun.
Re framing: we (and even we is a small fraction of fans) didn’t care about it til…the last 10 yrs?
@oysteranalytics.bsky.social mentioned unintended consequences.
One reason I dislike challenge system: hitting is hard. Now players must think about where a pitch X’s plate AND lands.
Slows & creates risks to primary game play for a sub-game that won’t even = max accuracy.
@benlindbergh.bsky.social
It isn’t working (54.0 era) but Jose Soriano is throwing way more four seamers
32% and 42% vs 9% last year
Theoretically a 98+ mph FF could push up the overall whiff% and K%
But he doesn’t get great spin/ride on it and it’s running less
Looks like a barrel laser so far
Wrote up 20+ pitchers by looking at the quality of contact they allow on fly balls.
You’d probably guess Chris Sale suppresses damage, but Ryan Feltner?
Who got unlucky on FB damage?

Really like Leiter. Is it odd to have such different extension #’s depending on pitch?
We all love Sal Stewart but why is he going for $8
Aranda is $6 (and $4.85 last 7 OLAC)
Both have FT PA questions
Aggregated projections:
Stewart $4
Aranda $5
Aranda 11% SwStr, EV / HH% similar to Rice, Seager, Yandy
12th in xwOBA (min. 400 PA)
