CB Bucknor strikes again, this time saying the runner did not touch first base. He very clearly did

Eddie Feigner, who from 1945 to 2000 with his 4-man softball team known as The King and His Court, claimed 9743 victories, 141517 strikeouts, 930 no-nos, and 238 perfectos.

He once struck out Mays, McCovey, Robinson, Clemente, Maury Wills, and Harmon Killebrew all in a row

Los Tres Chiflados siempre fueron tres en pantalla. Pero lo que, casi, nunca ocurrió es que cuatro chiflados estuvieran juntos frente a cámara. Sin embargo, en una oportunidad esa regla se rompió. Moe, Larry, Curly y Shemp juntos por única vez.

Great question, John. For most of baseball history, the walk was sneered at -- a lesser form of getting on base compared to the exceptional skill it takes to swing. The analytical revolution in the game changed that. If the objective of the game is to outscore a team, then the likeliest way to score runs is for people to get on base. Post-Moneyball, on-base percentage replaced batting average as more reliable metric for helping produce runs.

Batting average was almost a victim of its own popularity, though. Because it does matter. It's just not the first determinant of a baseball player's quality. Sometimes I do fear the pendulum has swung too far in the anti-batting-average direction.

Let's take three players as examples, with their batting averages, on-base percentages and slugging percentages:

Manny Machado: .302/.361/.507
Juan Soto: .248/.383/.486
Eugenio Suárez: .248/.319/.572

Three totally different hitters. Machado is balanced and batting average-heavy. Soto’s average is deflated but he’s an on-base savant thanks to the highest walk rate in the major leagues. Suárez is a masher whose high slug is his calling card.

So who’s the best? Well, if you’re judging by a metric called weighted on-base average, which seeks to be a catch-all offensive number that is park-neutral … they are pretty much identical.

It goes to show: Offensively, there are plenty of ways to be really good. A great batting average is never a bad thing. But a poor one, as Soto and Suárez illustrate, does not doom you to mediocrity.

@lorenzb34 this is your mantra

[Coach Yac 🗣 @Coach_Yac]

Ian Rapoport on the 49ers:

"About the 49ers. I'm sure their fans are going crazy. I'm sure. But this is what really good teams do, you should let guys who are looking for third contracts or guys who you can’t afford to pay, leave, and you draft and develop behind them."

@lorenzb34 this is from a fantasy perspective, but some notes on Condon

[Lucas Staggs @UpsideProspect]

Charlie Condon is one of the more interesting FYPD picks. He’s out of the top 5 for me due to hit tool risk but he becomes really interesting 8th or later where I’m seeing him fade to more often. Report below ⬇️

If that “A-Ball Player” is Alfonsin Rosario, I will lose my mind.

His potential is sky-high, especially if he can be patient with breaking pitches. 6’ 1”, 205 at 20 years old. Great power. + Speed. ++ Arm, projects as a corner outfielder but could be a CF with time.

Guardians fans, meet Lane Thomas!

He has a bazooka for an arm, and is currently on pace for a near 50-XBH/50-SB season

This is a big, big get 👏🏻

The @CleGuardians have reached the 1 million attendance mark in 41 home dates -- the fastest CLE has reached that mark since 2008.

The club is on pace to reach 2 million in attendance for the first time since 2017 (post-World Series run).
