A fact I didn’t know until recently is Rasmussen is 11th all time in ERA- among Starters with at least 250 IP.

[MLB @MLB]

Takashi Saito from his age 36-42 seasons is fifth all time in ERA- among pitchers with 300 IP.

He is may be the greatest pitcher we don’t talk about.

[Ned Colletti @realnedcolletti]

Takashi Saito was about to turn 36 when 20 years ago today, @dodgers signed him to a $500,000 minor league contract.

In 3 LA seasons, he saved 81 games, w/a 1.95 ERA & incredible h/9 & k/9 ratios.
He needed a chance; we needed a closer.
Sometimes all anyone needs is a chance.

Got bored while snowed in, so here are my Catcher Tier Rankings.

I was most surprised I have never heard of Bill Freehan and Gene Tenace. 10 consecutive All-Star appearances for Freehan and Tenace's 140 wRC+ is the third best among primary catchers only behind Gibson & Piazza.

@CardsWithChris Take all three Yamamoto

This is the player I always compare Berkman to at least offensively. Crazy how similar their offense was.

[Jim Miloch @podoffame]

Lance Berkman received 1.2% of the HOF vote in 2019, falling off the ballot in his first year of eligibility.

He deserved better.

I tried to tell y'all a year ago. Isaac Collins is a guy!

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

Isaac Collins over his last 20 games:

10 Multi-Hit Games
Walkoff HR
16 Team Wins

The only other rookie in the modern era (since 1901) to have each of those marks or better over a 20-game span is Yasiel Puig in 2013.
