The only way to stop the Atlanta Baseball Braves from hitting homeruns is to not schedule the Atlanta Baseball Braves for a baseball game

I decided to try out Effectively Wild and it seems like a really good podcast. They’re awkward baseball nerds and it owns. I like that they’re not too whiny and whatever, seems like they genuinely love the game. I remember hearing they’re a little business side/politics heavy but I’m not getting that impression. I don’t know what my point is here I just felt like mentioning it.

I like Effectively Wild, they aren't insufferable and seem earnest in what they do. I may be biased as Me Growly is a Mariners fan and was head of Lookout Landing.bawfuls posted:listen to episode 762 Is that the one about the A's player's "hinders" as Me Growly said?

The Orioles are probably the saddest entry on the list since they famously do not participate in international signings, meaning their player development pipeline has been complete poo poo.

The leftist baseball podcast is Tipping Pitches, the nerd one is EW, and the gay one is Batting Around.

Yes basically they were a sub-.500 team until adley was brought up. they also have some good luck with reclamation projects and even rule 5 success with santander.

I'm honestly surprised the Rangers are that high on this list. If you were to change it to aggregate WAR by draft picks, its probably negative.

You still need #4 starters and relief pitchers. Anyone who makes the big leagues is in the top fractional percent of baseball talent in the world. Or a guy who can play first AND third.

https://twitter.com/AaronGleeman/status/1679506950952812544 eugh At least Gallo is only on a one year deal but I keep feeling this dread that they're going to pick up Kepler's option because Falvey seems infatuated by the guy for some reason. Meanwhile, Matt Wallner this year had a short stint in the majors, completely mashed, then got sent back down because  and has continued to mash in AAA

mcmagic posted:^^^ do this for the Yankees now and it will make the Twins look great. it's unfair for the yankees because half their payroll is a guy who hasn't played for two months and might not play for the rest of the year the real answer though is 6.1 bWAR (e: for the four highest paid players, which is half the yankees payroll) IcePhoenix fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Jul 13, 2023 |

I'm talking about their 6 highest paid hitters which gets you to 5.5WAR so far which includes Judge's 2.8 through 49 games. Without him it's 3 WAR total from 5 players making ~100 million this year. LOL @ Anthony Volpe having the second highest WAR of the Yankees' position players with 1.4...

Without him it's 3 WAR total from 5 players making ~100 million this year. that's fair, I should have done it that way. Although the article does mention pace so that Yankees number is really almost ten compared to the six from the Twins players. Also ~100 million is less than 40% of the Yankees payroll instead of over half like with the Twins

I'm honestly shocked the Royals are in the middle of the pack given how poo poo their scouting and player development has been for the past ~8 years. A list of their cumulative WAR would be a lot uglier for them.
