I really think the Devils do not get enough heat for having had this exact pair at the same time and clearly not getting the best out of either one

i hate that my first reaction here is "sigh, who's already buying up big positions on 'Iran does not participate in World Cup' over on Kalshi"

I tried not to look at single-year too much for fear of how small the sample was going to be

adjusting in the sense that you don't get dinged if it's uncatchable, sure.

5 of the top 6 -- and 8 of the top 10 -- 'easiest' outfields are indoors some or all of the time. The other top 6 park? Beautiful San Diego. Fun to see how much weather and wind matter to fielding.

I don't know if this means anything, and maybe it doesn't given guys at WBC, Yesavage barely pitching, the existence of Tyler Rogers, etc.

but

I am noticing Toronto's ST fastball velo is 30th, by kind of a lot

there are weddings where you can't screw around and pay attention... and those you can

this is the latter

i would never, ever, ever spend money on those, but my wife did get gifted a free pair from work

they're creepy as hell, though I must point out how shockingly good the audio quality is when you play music.

"watching the game at the wedding I'm attending" plans, I agree.

"I hate playing there," said one particularly elite outfielder about a particularly difficult ballpark.

What's the trickiest -- and easiest -- outfield to play? Let's rate each ballpark Perhaps the most beautiful thing about baseball, the thing that truly sets it apart from every other major team sport, is that every ballpark is different. Interesting. Unique. Other than some standar...

New!

I've been thinking about this one forever. Which outfields are easy or difficult to field in? And why? How much do roofs matter? Which ones? Wind?

I'd argue that doing the worst possible job and committing massive self owns yet still coming out ahead is the American way

a run in Babe's day is worth a lot more today

The obvious outcome of the WBC is that Team USA, after absolutely setting themselves on fire for the last 24 hours, wins the whole thing anyway right

it would be a very baseball outcome

Happy for Cubs fans and all, but this stinks. Remember the Expos, don't erase the Expos.

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.

Why Roger Maris should have stopped at 60 rather than taking Babe Ruth's mark

i'm not defending what he said. I'm saying: the lineup choices (1B) aside were perfectly fine.
