Sorry to be self-indulgent, but I just re-read a couple of things... • The Field of Dreams story was cathartic (theathletic.com/3499705/2022…) • And it reminded me of this story because of the stories theathletic.com/1737321/2020…

Rosecrans: At MLB’s Field of Dreams game, family, memory and spectacle align

For players like Joey Votto, and for the author, the Field of Dreams game transcends the action on the diamond.

In 1954, my dad would ride his bike by the store to look at this Gus Bell MacGregor glove. He saved up $9 from his paper route until he could buy it. Today his son talked with Gus Bell's son and grandson about baseball. theathletic.com/812250/2019/…

MLB’s other low-payroll teams are on notice. The Rays and Brewers didn’t spend big to get here. Column, unlocked and free to read. nytimes.com/athletic/7706637…

MLB’s other low-payroll teams are on notice. The Rays and Brewers didn’t spend big to get here...

Why are the Brewers, Rays and Guardians successful in the first place? It’s certainly not because they’re getting outspent.

Took a stab at this. See thread for sourcing & explanation of discrepancies. I think only the tails matter: ATH, ARI, ATL, COL are low (not good!). TBR, NYY, NYM, DET, CLE are high (good!). ~8 teams have low visibility into their numbers... 🧵

Three teams left, and all three have bigger-than-average analytics staffs. Brewers: 46 (2nd in MLB) Rays: 39 Guardians: 30 League average: 28.5 The Phillies have the biggest staff in baseball, and they're already home. Like payroll, it's one input. Everything else combined still matters more.

So, we're going live on @RiverfrontPod here at 6:45. There's a non-zero chance (even if I don't think it's likely, it's October 19th and we're talking about what COULD happen) that Elly De La Cruz never plays for the Reds again. A Doomsday scenario: youtube.com/watch?v=HVbHmnbH…

Correction on this one. I had the Cubs at 25 analytics staff. I now have 46, tied with the Brewers for second in baseball behind the Phillies. They don't publish a full R&D directory and I undercounted them. That moves the league average from 28.5 to 29.2. The Brewers, Rays and Guardians are all still above it. Updated chart attached. I'll continue to do sweeps to see if other clubs are missing significant numbers like this.

Perimeter runs at Georgia LB Chris Cole (#9) are a choice… but not a good one. Alabama tried to influence the backside defenders with pullers/initial running back step away. It didn’t work.

The Orioles fired 16 people on the business side last week. Two days ago, this went up. That pre-tax salary pays roughly $22 an hour.

Only a handful of ballplayers with a publicly documented diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes appeared in the majors this year. Three reached the postseason. One is still going: nytimes.com/athletic/7688279…

Mitchell was pulled from a loss a month ago as a precaution due to high blood sugar. He's thriving with the Brewers in October.

Add “get short dudes” to the incomplete list of Moneyball type edges the Brewers & Rays (and Guardians really) have benefited from in the past decade-plus (free article) nytimes.com/athletic/7684373…

Rays, Brewers always outperform expectations. These ‘Moneyball’-like edges are the key

The Rays and Brewers have overcome smaller payrolls by investing in technology and having novel approaches to coaching and roster construction.

Braves scout Orlando Covo was in Tolú, Colombia watching a 14-year-old take grounders at shortstop. He noticed something unique about Didier Fuentes’ throw to to first base. “It was easy to say he wasn’t going to be a shortstop.” nytimes.com/athletic/7664186…

How the Braves found Didier Fuentes and helped him become a postseason weapon (Gift Article)

The Colombian threw 3 2/3 innings in relief, stymying the billion-dollar Dodgers and helping seal a crucial Braves win in Game 2.
