Going to the game at Fenway on Saturday... will bring a book. Also something to shield myself from all the stuff that will be thrown at me.

That Twitter thread gave me the best laugh I've had all day. Everyone's calling the manager of a 108 win team irrelevant.

In a world full of "What have you done for me lately?" sports fans, Boston somehow always ends up being the most "What have you done for me lately?" city on the planet.

zoux posted:11 Phils (127 ERA+) Sometimes I think about the Giants 2011 rotation. They're not very high on this list because WAR adjusts for home ballpark, and also is a bad stat but check these ERAs. Then check the W-L records, lol

https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/1169634666078441474 I don't see Strasburg actually leaving the Nats so much as I see him trying to negotiate a better deal, but he would certainly shake up the FA market for starters, which currently sits at "Gerrit Cole, and uh..."

The late 60s and early 70s, when the smog laden air reduced the ability of hitters to see the ball well, was truly a pitcher friendly time.

It let them play longer and recover from injuries better but yeah the main cause of the home run boom was expansion and subsequent watering down of pitching talent. Your coworker sounds cool tbh, sorry.

I don’t think that thinking about value that way is weird at all, like not one bit. Fangraphs does a trade value article that uses contract details to help set the value and nobody thinks that’s bootlicking or whatever the gently caress If two players are equally good, literally the same player, and one makes 0 dollars and the other makes 30 million, doesn’t the one making nothing offer more value to the team?
