Here's how fastball velocity has changed since 2000.
Pre-pitch tracking data compiled via retired player opinions
Seeing “In play: run(s)” in the MLB app for a game you’re not watching live might be the most hope-inducing parenthetical in the history of the English language.
Usually it’s just a single or a sac fly, but for that brief moment, it could be anything.
The team with the highest batting average this year ranks 14th in runs scored.
Ichiro Suzuki has over 4,000 hits and a career OPS of .757
Shohei Ohtani has 1,184 hits and a career OPS of .954 because of his home runs.
Imagine saying 4,000 hits is meaningless because he has an average OPS? You’d have to be insane. Give me Ichiro any day.

Murakami isn’t the single-season HR record-holder in Japanese baseball. He holds the single-season record *for a Japanese-born player.*

But I was told baseball is broken and there's simply no way for small market teams to compete.

Whoa, few things more validating than checking your notifications and seeing "@DSzymborski reposted 4 of your posts."
Good day to you, sir. Big fan of your work.

New current hottest Mariners take: they should trade for Arraez. I fully expect the bat and glove to regress but even at his worst he's always been an above-average bat and he's played 1B, 2B, 3B, and LF (though not very well) and this team could use another swiss army knife guy.

Current hottest Mariners take: it's time to explore trading one of Gilbert/Kirby. Not because I don't like them, but because they're leaving soon either way, either would return a big haul, and there's a good chance Anderson could replace either of them without missing a beat.
Checking in on top Ms' prospects playing in extreme environments:
Arkansas (extreme pitchers' park)
Montes: .646 home OPS, 1.140 road OPS
Arroyo: .711 home, .785 road
Everett (extreme hitters' park)
Celesten: 1.036 home, .758 road
Farmelo: 1.008 home, .763 road

The Dodgers, who famously broke baseball this past offseason by signing one (yes, only one) of the top free agents on the market, are in a 3-way tie for the league's 4th best record and trail in their division by half a game.
Anyone ready to admit they might have overreacted?

If the Ms aren't going to sign a real major-leaguer for 3B this could be a nice get to create a Spring Training position battle. A favorite of statistical models a few years back who stalled out in an organization with a bad recent track record of developing hitters.

You keep saying this. It’s 100% wrong.
Article VI, Section E(10) of the CBA: particular attention given to *contracts* of players with similar service time, not arbitration awards. Which makes sense because there’s less than 20 actual arbitration hearings each year.

He's been physically compared to Alvarez because he's big, left-handed, unathletic, Cuban, hits for power, and trained with the same guy as a teenager. The comparison falls apart once you look at performance, which is pretty important for a bat-only guy. Hitters gotta hit.

Firemen and cops are heavily reliant on government-administered pensions for retirement security. In many cases they give up social security for greater pension guarantees. Those pensions are heavily invested in the market.
So yeah, it’ll affect those public employees too.

Easy to believe this when your weird ideology equates seatbelt laws with fascism and graduated income tax with chattel slavery.
