"Why is ur boy Shohei always mired in scandal?"

Great Q, I have no idea why a blessed english-language-learner manchild who thinks only about baseball, comic books and clash royale / lets his parents control his finances / has like $1 billion attracts grifters

Justin Wrobleski's current Savant. Probably indicates some regression coming, but also indicates to me that Savant pages need more/better metrics to capture the value of pitchers like him. Feel like it should start with a metric more focused on command/execution a la pitching+ 🤷‍♂️

@pitchprofiler @enosarris @DSzymborski @LanceBroz @PitcherList Preciate you replying a ton. Just to make sure I'm tracking, you're saying change in movement profile (controlled for any arm angle changes) is more predictive of injury than velo drop? Never knew this

[el fiend of chavez ravine @AustzynBarnes]

Skenes fastball velo down 1.1 mph from last year and almost 2 mph from 2024. Should this be seen as a harbinger of injury to come? What do we think is happening here @enosarris @DSzymborski @LanceBroz @pitchprofiler @PitcherList

I tripled down my Kalshi bet on her after the debate bc I knew in my heart that she is smart and that Angelenos are not nearly as stupid as you needed them to be to have a shot

Other teams acquire guys w/ plans of adding to or changing the pitch mix, but between Misiorowski, Harrison, and Priester, the Brewers seem to have a methodology for improving command itself. Obvi doesn't always work (Sproat), but pretty remarkable. Is any other team doing this?

[LouisAnalysis @LouisAnalysis]

One of the most intriguing developments of Jacob Misiorowski's young career is his walk rate.

In the minors:

2023: 13.4%
2024: 14.4%
2025: 12.3%

Most categorized him under a flamethrowing prospect with high reliever risk.

2026 MLB: 8.4%.

I'm sorry for what you're going through king. I can only imagine how tough it's been seeing Freeland back in an OKC uniform

[Dodgers Daily @dodger_daily]

Alex Freeland has 2 hits today for AAA OKC, and a walk. Not gonna lie, it's REALLY tough seeing him in an OKC uniform again. I hoped I'd never have to, but it is what it is, and Alex just needs to control what he can control.

Very cliche, I understand, and I didn't mean that as a criticism of the decision-making, just that getting sent back down sucks really badly. Keep grindin', Alex, you'll be back shortly. #dodgers #dodgersprospects #alexfreeland

Raising chickens in cages where they don’t have the space to turn their bodies/get pooped on by other chickens all day/eventually get slaughtered is chill but giving a chicken a chance to Be Great isn’t

If they actually do my manz in for cock fighting i'm gonna be so annoyed

Does anyone have the clip of the Padres announcer yelling "FERNANDO" as Tatis makes a like extremely routine play, I can't find it

Who will have a better career: River Ryan or Coleman Crow?

[el fiend of chavez ravine @AustzynBarnes]

teams should be able to do whatever they want with all 26 slots

[el fiend of chavez ravine @AustzynBarnes]

"Say ohtani has a blister or something that they want to rest for 2-3 weeks so he doesn't pitch. They don't IL him so he can still hit bombs, but they only get to use 12 pitchers during this time cuz he's still counting as a pitcher?"

[el fiend of chavez ravine @AustzynBarnes]

another well-articulated way of understanding why all the shohei pitcher-slot fud makes no sense. what am i misunderstanding here

[el fiend of chavez ravine @AustzynBarnes]

@wiguy94 @DSzymborski @JeffPassan @enosarris Thank you @DSzymborski 🙏 and agreed @wiguy94

[el fiend of chavez ravine @AustzynBarnes]

Re: the Counsell/ Ohtani/ pitcher-slot debate: is there anything stopping another team from just DHing their pitcher for one day then putting that person in a hitter slot? Are there are any rules around that @JeffPassan @DSzymborski @enosarris
