And herein lies the weakness for DRS, particularly for infielders. I think it's safe to assume that the lower the exit velocity, the more likely a batted ball is going to be an out statistically. You don't need to look any further than the last out of the game last night to know that isn't true, particularly for infielders. In fact, it may be more of a parabola for exit velocity and likelihood of making an out for infielders. Last night Ortiz didn't have to go to his left or right (range) to make the play - he had to charge it because it was so softly hit. Charging and bare-handing a ball to make an accurate throw to 1B is very, very difficult. If a ball is hit too softly (low exit velocity), an infielder has very little time to make the play because they have to charge the ball before throwing it. Horizontal launch angle is also flawed because it depends on where the infielder is positioned. On one play an infielder may be shaded towards the bag or the hole depending on the pitcher (LHP vs RHP) or baserunner (holding a runner on, threat of a SB). Last night, the horizontal launch angle would have showed that it was hit right at Ortiz, and likely statistically a high probability of being an out. Anyone who watched knows that was far from the case. My guess is that the last play of the game, based on exit velocity and horizontal launch angle, would have showed a very high probability of making an out. The reality is that it was an incredibly difficult play that had a high probability of the runner getting on base.

Yeah, Ortiz at -7 DRS doesn't pass the eye test.

Best record in all of MLB since May 25th Almost 2 months.

Caleb Durbin says, "Trade for a 3B my f------ ---!"

When the trade was made, who had Priester striking out Ohtani, Betts, and Freeman b2b2b?

So far, Jay has two fewer innings for the MLB Brewers than Shook has at AAA. So far, the Brewers haven't lost anything in that deal.

With two surgeries and coming off of the second one, I see Episcope being just like Woodward in 2023 and signing for about $250K. Very unlikely that he gets full slot coming off of a second surgery.

For a system that is short on OF prospects, I was surprised that they only drafted one, and one with a relatively low ceiling. Would have liked to see one or two power corner OF bats. Maybe Fischer has more athleticism than the scouting reports give him credit for. Maybe that's a backup plan for Brock. I guess you can always trade pitching for hitting.

$447K slot value, don't see them giving him full slot with that injury history. Probably ~$200K saved here with some upside when he's healthy.

Peter Kussow from Arrowhead goes #133 overall to the Mets. Last name sounded familiar, so I had to look him up. Sure enough, his dad was among the group of friends I had (and partied a lot with) in undergrad. Both of his parents are/were quite the athletes.

Jacob Morrison - I had him as one of my 4th rounders. Me like.

Bauer and Appenzeller still on the board. So are Mason Neville and Korbyn Dickerson. At least one of those guys will get to the Brewers.

Yeah, I think they go a little over slot with him. A nice, round number of $1.5M would be really hard for a kid to pass up.

Bauer and Appenzeller still on the board. Brewers certainly have some underslot from the first few picks, could be buying one of these guys down.

Well done

Wow. They must really have this guy on a number to take a HS guy at 68.

On a 5-man rotation that lines up Peralta to pitch the last game of the Cubs series on 7/30. I'm guessing Mis is the 5th starter post ASB, as that lines him up to pitch the 1st game of the Cubs series on 7/28. That leaves Priester to pitch the 2nd game of the Cubs series, in which I'll bet they use Hall as the opener so that it isn't three RHP three days in a row.

You know damn well who is writing this script...

Not unheard of for players in bad organizations to get bad coaching.

I think anyone forced to be on the White Sox this year is one of the unluckiest hitters in MLB.

Mutual option. While they rarely get mutually accepted, it has happened. And, technically, not a free agent.

The #1 thing that reduces WiFi range is interference from other WiFi signals, followed by concrete walls. If the cabins are off in the woods, then there shouldn't be other WiFi interference and thus a mesh system might work, provided the cabins don't have concrete walls. How does your wife's aunt and uncle currently get WiFi in their cabin? Cable, fiber optic, satellite? If cable, you can just split the cable outside and run that cable to the other cabin, but that cable will need to get inside grandma's cabin. If grandma's cabin doesn't currently have cable going into it... then that's going to require professional installation, unless there's a garage that has electrical power you can run the cable into. But for the time and effort it would take to dig a 200' ditch to bury the cable... why not just get internet installed at grandma's cabin by the same provider at her aunt/uncle's cabin and put it on her aunt/uncle's bill?

I blame your wet farts.
