@cartographer_s @Peter_Nimitz Why he stopped when he did? Credible rumors of FSB threatening to kill his family, a possibility. He was potentially a man with no plan when the march started and an offer of keeping his head and a Wagner contingent in Belarus was enough for him at that point 2/2

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@cartographer_s @Peter_Nimitz Prigozhin isn’t a mystery. It was a mutiny, he was never trying to overthrow Putin. He wanted to keep Wagner and it was about to be absorbed into MoD when he started his march, his back was against the wall. His only aim was to keep Wagner, this is well documented 1/2

@tangotiger @enosarris League wide BABIP has collapsed to .281 in May from .291 in March/April. Any reason to believe it’s something more than variance?

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@BalesBets @UnabatedSports Also, two bug that have always existed is double headers not displaying properly or at all for most books and when there’s a rain delay the game disappears off the Unabated game list completely once you pass the normal start time but before the game actually starts

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@UnabatedSports Whe are the issues with ATP odds going to be fixed? Many matches missing today for Bookmaker and all match odds missing for BetOnline.

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@BalesBets @UnabatedSports We are a month into the MLB season and there are multiple totals every single day from Bookmaker that do not show up on Unabated. Been a customer for 3 years and ready to switch if this isnt fixed. This never happened in previous MLB seasons

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@tangotiger Does it seem like there are any significant changes to the ball this year?

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@DSzymborski Is wRC+ glitching right now? It’s showing the Rockies as a team with a .285 wOBA but 70 wRC+. Reds also have a .285 wOBA but a 78 wRC+. Reds have played all home games, a much more hitter friendly park than the Rockies’ games so far at Marlins Park and Rogers Centre

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@BalesBets @UnabatedSports This was just not just a yesterday problem and BetOnline still completely missing for ATP. Unabated issues have gotten much worse over the past few months. Bookmaker 1H NCAAB MLs are patchy, recent very bad delays in live NCAAB odds for Pinnacle and Bookmaker etc

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@Probahis Qualifiers are playing faster than last year by ALOT. The ace numbers are so drastic so far that you’re going to get killed following any analysis based on previous years court speed

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@TennisBlogger1 That’s fair. I interpreted your take a bit too broadly as that its easy to say X person’s style just can’t hang when they got demolished by a completely different style. And it was more of a demolishing than the 6-4, 6-4 scoreline having watched it. Cheers

@LanceBroz They’re messing with their humidor is my best guess

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@enosarris Ironic that in the WS 5 years ago Blake Snell was the center of the most obviously correct baseball decision(pulled for N Anderson) that every casual hated and now every casual is yelling at him for being correct(complaining about a 98 EV HR and 78 EV triple as unlucky

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@mike_petriello They could be messing with the humidor and storing balls at a lower humidity than MLB requires which would make the ball travel farther. This is my theory for what happened at Globe Life in 2023

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@benbbaldwin are you planning to update the Team 4th down decision making section of your site to include the 2025 season?

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@DimitriVangelis One of the best tracks of all time. Never gets old

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@tangotiger @enosarris If there’s been any change to the average distance of balls hit in those buckets since you posted that chart?

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@tangotiger @enosarris Any update to this in light of Eno’s post on the increased drag still being present through May versus last season?

[TheBases @TheBases5]

@enosarris Has Kevin Cash ever said why they stopped using openers?
