Yes, literally.

How does it discourage running up the score? Every run I score is a run you allow.

I think the intent is to account for games shortened by mercy rules. Giving up 10 runs in seven innings is worse than giving up 10 runs in 9 innings.

I'd start adding words like 'hypothetically' and 'allegedly' to your posts... Plausible deniability.

Ive read more than a couple of accounts where teams are giving the okay to some of their players in spring, letting them get used to it and figure out whether they're good at it or not.

Lineup 'protection' hasn't been a thing since Bill James disproved it in the early 1980s Abstracts.

That's what happens when the 'civilian' oversight board is run by a former cop and staffed almost exclusively by ex-cops. The SIU is a fucking joke.

they have no ideas, just bombast and rhetoric and slogans and conspiracies and grievances. the entire movement needs to whither and die.

You're a billionaire. Couldn't you just pay extra for the girls to pretend to be impressed and awed by your manhood?

There was a big article on The Athletic within the last couple of days saying just that. Seems to be the prevailing opinion.

Just off-loading the contract is a win. Luisangel is a high-end lottery ticket. Regressed sharply last year, but there's some upside. And the arm is intriguing.

Platoon partner. three strict platoons on those Jays teams, Whitt and Buck behind the plate and Jesse Barfield and Hosken Powell in RF.

As Bill James wrote in one of his Baseball Abstracts, what are the odds of four platoon players being named Rance, Garth, Jesse and Hosken?

I saw 7 and 14 on another list, but the other two still weren't listed. I guess we'll wait for @keithlaw.bsky.social and @fangraphs.com. That said, Weathers is pretty high risk

Pipeline has the prospects at 15 and 16 and two not in the top-30. Might be quantity over quality.

poker stories are like fantasy football/baseball stories. People only care about their own.

My instant block is the person who replies to everything with some variation of, "please quote your sources, line by line, with specifics on where each fact has been drawn from."

Dude, I'm not providing a bibliography for every post.
