not able to watch but it would be so funny if chinese taipei got to #2 in the wbsc rankings and then got shutout by australia

murakami has a 56.3% chase rate and 56.5% contact rate through four spring training games lol

i love spring training

Thanks for your responses!

very minor issue: checked a few games and it looks like the +/- change for drop w/ gravity is off as well. i think it might be because the game average is showing in feet (all numbers in that column show as 1-5, so that would be my guess)

on the improvements side, i did just notice that the new search on the pitch/exit velo tabs no longer requires diacritical marks. that’s quite helpful!

and 2) under “plate discipline” on the player breakdowns, z-con and o-con are no longer present. at least on my laptop screen, there’d be room to have them there. i also think it makes more sense to put velo next in the same tables as pitch shapes/spins but that’s probably just what i’m used to

deleted my first response as i couldn’t reproduce an issue i remembered.

some of it is certainly just ordinary resistance to design changes but the two main things i noticed were 1) the new search under the pitch velocity tab clears you switch to a different tab and then switch back

the savant gameday redesign is pretty rough

finally got around to watching the womens free skate :)

why is gianni infantino there lol

For a few years there, I wrote for Lindy’s, doing their annual trending topics piece. Wanting that feature to pass into abler hands than mine, I asked @alexandraw.bsky.social to take it over. She delivered the goods.

Breaking down team payroll disparity in MLB There are a number of positive trends for Major League Baseball as we approach a new season. MLB's attendance improved for a fourth consecutive full season in 2025. That trend coincides with rules cha...

Pretty embarrassing for him but I really can’t remember anything else on MLB.com that was written in this editorial/opinion piece style www.mlb.com/news/mlb-pay...

Not sure if anyone else has said this but Sawchik was clearly hired by MLB to write anti labor talking points ahead of the CBA

He wrote an article two weeks ago on payroll differences which ended “Removing that cloud, discarding that talking point, would take interest in the game to another level”

he also had a hamstring injury in 2024. not sure if it was the same leg but they were both from running the bases, so not encouraging for having him run around the outfield

idk what i’ll say if dasha, rapidly falling out of the top 100, still beats iga

Bellozo is bad in a way that pitchers simply stopped being ~5 years ago when stuff modeling came into vogue, so much so that I actually wrote about it when he got shelled by the Phillies bsky.app/profile/base...

I think this is the single worst player-team fit I can imagine. He sits 90 with like 15 ivb from a high release and throws lots of fastballs, almost exclusively down the middle. He is going to give up 4 home runs per 9 innings in Coors

they are angels north

It is February 1. The Giants have announced zero coaches for the manager they hired before the World Series started

More than anything, I just still can't believe that they saw him play for 7 teams in 4 years and gave him 3 years of guaranteed money. 9 different teams in 5 years now; there was talk of getting a first round pick for Keon

Very funny that the second trade of the new front office is a salary dump for the first trade acquisition and the first free agent signing

i’d rather they gave donovan walton another chance tbh

the americans who were harassing foki in the opelka match are back for the men’s doubles final and one is clearly wearing a confederate flag. odd that the broadcast was so willing to show it
