    Yankees got two calls that half inning that didn't touch the zone. Can't wait for more. Meanwhile, ball 4 to Soto got plenty of the zone.

    well they won't pay him $2M I think it's just the pro-rated portion for the 45 days, assuming Vogelbach signed that advanced consent thingy
  6. Laika
    p sure it's just visual in RC

    hasn't tweeted in 9 days he might be dead why is Atkins sweeping Votto's death under the rug though?
  8. Laika
    no.

    yeah Vogelbach's only function is DH when Turner needs a day off. And maybe pinch hitting once or twice a week. But with the emergence of Schneider and Clement... maybe it's better to just throw those 6 PA a week at one of them even if they don't have the platoon advantage?

    that's fine because KG only serves up nukes and piss missiles they might get like, 4 groundballs

    Jays will either win 10-2 or lose 10-2 No middle ground today

    Anyone else starting to think the OF foul line walls are a liability? One home stand and we have seen Schendier almost die and Varsho go into it hard. We are going to see some injuries on these things over the years. They are just very close to the foul lines.

    Many people in baseball will celebrate the impending Orioles dynasty as it punctuates and celebrates the end of the Angelos family's involvement in the sport.

    Again, just a horrible misunderstanding of statistics. Players probably flirt with being something like "75% of Tiger's peak" every decade or so. Maybe even more frequently. That doesn't mean they are close at all. The gap between them and Tiger might actually be as big as the gap between them and an amateur, all things considered. Study the normal distribution

    How can you go through life with no honour? It's the same statement. A 1 in 100 year peak makes someone a 1 in 100 year athlete, absolutely and necessarily. The person is generationally good at the sport and that's the point.
  16. Laika
    Classic Jim goal post moving Tiger is indeed a once in 100 years golf talent, the peak talent measurements prove this because nobody's peak, not even Jack's, compares to Tiger's when you consider the proper context and priors. Also, it doesn't even matter. You'll cling to the meaningless throwaway analogy like "1 in 100 years talent" because you have nothing else to offer because your initial idea, that Steve Shuffler is almost Tiger Woods, is supa dum. Tiger could = Jack and Steve Shuffler would still need to get better and then shove for years to even be considered in their company.

    i must apologize to the ump

    bruh the sport is literally science these days

    I have seen convincing analysis on Jack v Tiger and believe peak Tiger was better. You can look at how they did at the Masters for example since the course and the tournament has changed so little. Tiger had better peak performance and had to deal with a generally tougher field of players around him. I think it's something like... Tiger had a 25% tournament winning % in the first 10 years of his career, vs. Jack's 19%. All while facing tougher competition as the modern game is deeper. In their first 29 major tournaments, Tiger had a 28% win rate and Jack's was 20%. Peak Tiger was just the best golfer ever. Probably a full standard deviation beyond Jack in rarity. Shame that he became a sex and opiate addict and his career numbers will end up at kind of the lower end of his mid-career projections. Study maths Study Bayes

    Yankees have been getting so many favourable calls this series too. ump scorecard said +0.63 runs for NYY in game 1 haven't seen the scorecard tweet for game 2 but Kikuchi was not getting certain calls that Rodon was. And Richards threw a pair of strikes that the ump missed, that actually cost Toronto a run.

    My dude, this team looks formidable. 10-8 after a grueling first 18 game schedule that involved a 10 day road trip against three elite teams and then a homestand that ended with the Judge-Soto Yankees and began with arch nemesis Cal Raleigh and his gigantic dumper. Accomplished without: - Kevin Gausman helping at all - Danny Jansen - Romano and Swanson - Vlad, Bo, KK, Varsho, and Kirk doing much of anything. Minor caveat being the defensive contributions of the latter three. It's just a clutch team that knows how to win. Elite bullpen + defense is going to mean stealing games in winning 2/3 of the close ones. When VladBo get hot, it's lights out for the rest of the league.
  22. Laika
    So much better than Espinal
  23. Laika
    Yeah it's so good Probably top 5 or so in baseball. Maybe #1, who knows.
  24. Laika
    That play made me nod approvingly So slick Kind of think Ernie is elite defensively at 3B...
  25. Laika
    Not thaaaat risky. Two run lead, bottom of the order. Yimi got the "save" today
