You know he wanted to swing and each and every one. Proud of him.

It depends on how many runs the superstar team deferred

After four games last season, the MLB regular season champions were 0-4 with a run differential of -32 and the 60-win White Sox had a Pythagorean W-L record of .920.

this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.
I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy

Yep. β€œCheck the numbers again” atrocious.

Vaughn.

Yes. The bat tracking data is pretty astounding. Scalding every other pitch he hits.

In that case yes. Not sure this happens if Mitchell is healthy and hitting decently but suspect we will see it a lot.

I have started to wonder about Jake Bauers, starting LF. Vaughn’s adjustments last year are almost certainly for real and Bauers may not be far behind.

How long do electric vehicle batteries actually last? When the modern electric vehicle was still in its infancy, drivers worried that vehicles would need expensive battery replacements within a few years. But battery lifespans are exceeding expectations.

Have they considered using some more audible warnings?

This explains why players may cheat to get a new guaranteed contract but not why they do it with the ink already signed, which he has done twice, so he is costing himself millions for no reason.

It’s ok to say the guy is just a knucklehead. It’s not that complicated.

Well that sounds less ominous than the tone of other reports about Priester.

Curt, I was glad to see the Brewers go on a Cactus League winning streak because after their first several games, I was worried Murphy might be losing the clubhouse. But now things seem to be trending in the wrong direction again. Should we be concerned? Will take my answer off the air, thanks.

I love this story, especially the part where the scout who fought to draft him met Woodruff at Applebees the same day he was drafted to put the team’s $10k on the muscle.

2026 Season Preview: Milwaukee Brewers | Baseball Prospectus Look, get mad if you need to, but the Brewers can't outperform expectations unless we set some.

I wrote up our season preview for the Brewers. I used the team that regularly frustrates our projections to talk about/theorize how/why I think they do, and what we can learn from it. Putting what we can learn from it into practice in a way that enhances projections is not straightfoward, though

Does the paper even allow comments anymore?
