The Washington Nationals want their players to have more autonomy and more access to data.
Which, for them, means… homework.
Actual homework.

Matthew Stafford is throwing to WRs on 79% of attempts through 3 games -- would be highest rate for a QB in 25 years, per @TruMediaSports.
Puka Nacua & Davante Adams are both in the top 6 in target rate.
Should the Rams spread the ball around? Will they?

Nick Bosa ranks 4th in sacks with 64.5 and 2nd in pressure rate since 2019. #49ers have big shoes to fill and have been much worse in the 18 games he’s missed (he’s played in 85). From @TruMediaSports:
Justin Fields had the best passing grade (90.4) of his career yesterday, according to PFF's grading.
He also had the best EPA per attempt (0.68) of his career, per TruMedia.
And Fields' adjusted completion percentage (88.9) was the third-highest of his career.
The Boston Red Sox enter the All-Star break on a 10-0 win streak. Over that span (since July 4th) they are #1 in ERA at 1.90 and #1 in runs scored with 70. Their +46 differential over that time is 21 runs ahead of the 2nd place Brewers (8-1 in that span).
Happy Opening Day! We at TruMedia are excited to start our 16th season working with MLB teams!

The D1 NCAA Hitting Leaders through one day of play. Four separate players collected 6 hits yesterday while Will Vierling of Murray State led the way with 16 total bases and 3 HRs.
We are saddened to learn of the passing of Bob Uecker, a legendary ambassador for our game.
After a six-year playing career with the Braves, Cardinals and Phillies from 1962-67, Uecker spent more than half a century as “Voice of the Brewers” beginning in 1971.
Uecker’s self-deprecating humor endeared him to a national audience. He appeared in popular movies, commercials, talk shows, and even starred in his own TV sitcom. As a broadcaster, he worked national telecasts, All-Star Games, and the World Series. His dry style and wit belied a deep knowledge and passion for baseball, all of which made him one of the game’s finest broadcasters.
Uecker, a member of the 1964 World Series champion Cardinals, was the 2003 Ford C. Frick Award winner and a five-time Wisconsin Sportscaster of the Year. He was 90 years old.
TruMedia and @AWRE_Sports are excited to announce a college baseball partnership for the 2025 season!
AWRE’s game and practice video will be available on TruMedia’s best-in-class platform.

Michigan is now 4-0 vs. AP Top 15 teams when throwing for 75 or fewer yards over the past 2 seasons (also beat Penn St in 2023 with 60 yds).
Over the same span, all other FBS teams are a combined 2-19 in such games.
(Per @TruMediaSports)
Week 8’s offensive leaders so far. Philadelphia possesses the top spot with 0.30 EPA/Play. The Cardinals vs Dolphins matchup featured the two top teams in offensive success percent (ARI:50.0% and MIA:49.2%).
