Two differen BABIP related comments 1. Sproat's BABIP against was a touch above league average in Mar-May. It is well below in June. I am enthusiastic, but it is slightly curbed. 2. Look at what having an elite defense does to BABIP.

I would love to leave it up to official scorers. That would probably drive the gambling/fantasy community crazy though. In last night's (6/16) game, Gasser should have gotten the W. Some shenanigans happened after he left the game. That takes nothing away from his great performance.

Valid. The league asked for a salary cap that would require the Dodgers to cut $150M of salary. I posted that with the idea that some of those things would phase in over a couple years.

As of today, May 29th, we're at 121 service days remaining. The Super 2 cut days for 2023, 2021, and 2019 were 118, 116, and 115 respectively. Everything else going back to 2009 was 122 or more. So we're a week away from near certainty about Super 2 day. Source. Let's beat up on a couple of under-.500 teams (I know, not our strong suit) this week, and then let the kids have a shot.

This is what happens when $$ speaks louder than anything. It’s too bad communism sucks, cuz capitalism certainly doesn’t care about my heart and my baseball team.

This is true. At the same time, I mourn the idea that my kids will probably never witness anything like Robin Yount. Maybe it's worth re-extending Chourio someday soon. The trend away from single-team, whole-career superstars sucks, and it is made more of a certainty in the current system.

I wonder i̶f̶ w̶e̶ c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ b̶e̶ s̶u̶c̶c̶e̶s̶s̶f̶u̶l̶ how many times we will be using Woody every third time through the order and just having him go on the IL in between starts.

The Dodgers’ pitchers rose to the moment. I’d argue that Snell, Yamamoto, and Ohtani (offense included) had 95th percentile or better games. Glasnow was probably 80th percentile. Certainly, the Crew’s offensive approach has to be considered in those pitcher outcomes, but the way those guys were placing pitches and not throwing waste pitches was surgical. Put together some squishy math on three 95th percentile outcomes and one 80th percentile and you’re looking at a 1 in 40,000 probability of that sort of confluence of pitching excellence. If you’re willing to call Snell, Yoshi, and Ohtani’s starts 99th percentile games, then you’re quickly looking at a 1 in a million outcome for the Dodgers. Their pitchers just rose to the moment in a collective fashion that is wildly improbable, and the Brewer hitters couldn’t match it.

Also eastern TZ. My 9yo fell asleep during the 3rd on Monday. My 12yo made it to the 7th. hopefully the crew puts up a lotta runs before they fall asleep.

I don't watch much football, so at first when I read this, I was very concerned about what "MLF milking" was.

But... When will Matt Arnold start to receive some criticism?

Only 3 Cub baserunners in innings 3-9. The Trebnered Mearsorowstrick was amazing tonight.

Greg should have outmaneuvered us and started Rea and Civale.

Isn't there a site that has them available mid-game? Can anyone help with that?
