Sinker, 4seam, slider, curve and changeup for Mikolas Sinker, 4seam, slurve, curve and changeup for Berrios. Their repetoires are actually pretty similar.

A limp and clammy handshake.... worse.

Mikolas that inning is what Berrios is supposed to look like.

Those breaking balls to Varsho were nasty. 60 inch vertical drop on the curve at 2650 rpm spin rate.

Well, obviously not intentional, but ... s***.

Bo hits like he throws, all over the damn place.

Nice. Only lost 10% win probability. still in the drivers seat

Contreres looking for offspeed, stay with the heat.

Pete's out there just reminding him he's a bulldozer, so quit trying to be cute.

Already seing better OF defense. Gurriel would have tried to throw the guy out at 3rd and let Arenado get to 2nd

FFS Bo lol just eat it

Filthy pitch.

3 squib singles this inning around a few line drives. gotta love it

77.5% win percentage for the jays now, lets get it to the bullpen.

Yes! Kirk with that new daddy power

Best cleanup hitter in Jays history already. Varshooooooo

Heh, Bo decided he was going to try and murder that first pitch beforehand for sure.

nice! having a good year from Springer would be f***ing amazing

Yankees game wrapped in 2 hours 33 minutes, making it the shortest Yankees game since the invention of television.

ANATOMY noun: teres major either of two muscles passing below the shoulder joint from the scapula to the upper part of the humerus, one ( teres major ) drawing the arm toward the body and rotating it inward, the other ( teres minor ) rotating it outward. Well, i learned something new today, had never heard of that before either.

Baseball savant is pretty good, though it sometimes struggles to update in real time

THis is the part that i liked the most and had to most questions about: "“Literally after every game, they get an email with the pitches they missed. They must log in and look at the ones they missed. And there’s commentary about how they missed, and why they missed." So .. what happens when guys miss the same pitches over and over and over and over again like Angel Hernandez? Reprecussions is not the right word, but what training or additional support are they mandated to take in order to get these calls more right in the future?

Under the CBA, minimum annual salaries would be as follows: At the complex league and rookie ball, $19,800, up from $4,800; Single A: $26,200, up from $11,000; High A: $27,300, up from $11,000; Double A: $30,250, up from $13,800; Triple A: $35,800, up from $17,500. The salary increases are estimated to cost MLB around $90 million annually. Other changes: • Players who sign at age 19 or older are going to be under club reserve for six years, rather than seven, which is the blanket number that previously applied to all players. This policy is not retroactive to players who previously signed at age 19 or older. • Some improvements to MLB’s housing policy. Players will have their own bedrooms at home at Double A and Triple A. Players are going to either receive a bedroom or be allowed to opt out and instead receive a stipend at Low A and High A. Spouses and children are going to be accommodated in club-provided housing. Housing is free for players except those who make a higher amount. • One of the elements MLB pushed hard for in the deal, and an issue the MLBPA gave some ground on, was the right to reduce the size of the maximum amount of players that can be carried on the domestic reserve lists. The union agreed to allow MLB to trim the maximum to 165 during the season, down from 180; and to 175 in the offseason, down from 190. Those cuts, however, cannot take place until 2024 at the earliest. MLB looks at this as right-sizing rosters, believing that if it were starting the minor leagues over today, there wouldn’t be as many spots as there are now. MLB initially wanted a blanket right to downsize rosters as the owners saw fit, which the MLBPA did not allow. • Transportation: For rookie ball, Low A and High A transportation to and from the field is guaranteed to players. At Double A and Triple A, issues are to be addressed as they come up. • The creation of a joint clubhouse nutrition committee to oversee meal quality, and increase in per diem. • A committee for feedback on rule changes that MLB implements in the minors. • A joint drug agreement and domestic violence policy. • Players receive their NIL rights, and the MLBPA plans to do group licensing. • With medical issues, players in certain circumstances will have rights to second opinions. • Different training periods: The fall training period lasts from the end of the season until the Friday before Thanksgiving. A dead period follows from the Saturday before Thanksgiving through Jan. 1. Then there will be a winter training period from Jan. 2 until spring training. During the training periods, players are to be paid at one rate if they’re home, and if they’re called into the complex for instructional leagues or other work, they’ll be paid at a higher rate. The minimum salaries listed above assume players are at home during those training periods, so players can make more money than those minimum salaries listed. • MLB formally agreed that there would not be contraction of minor league teams during the life of the CBA.
