Arizona and Florida, which are having their own problems at the moment.

Even without COVID, playing baseball outside in Phoenix in July sounds bad.

The defensive stats say Gio is bad at defense therefore they are bullshit.

He told the Sox he wasn't going to re-sign IIRC

But the Sox were never going to pay him what he was worth anyway

He turned down their below-market extension offer, so yeah, the second part was proven while also letting them try to sell the first one as to why they "needed" to trade him.

Aaron Judge is just hilariously, stupidly, idiotically strong and I love it.

Also that Chris Sale frame, baseball is nuts.


When I officially signed on to write my weekly PL bit about goofy baseball stuff I was worried I wouldn't be able to find enough content between writing about Thursday games and this dumb fake season but literally every week I've had to cut my draft list by like 50% and still end up with 8 items in the article. Baseball fuckin' rules you guys :shobon:

BB-Ref has built a Game Changer tool that's supposed to be like RedZone for baseball, based on options you select. I haven't used it yet but hell yes.

He made a public statement this year in support of BLM which seemed to indicate he finally got it, to some extent.

Kersh seems to be really into Jesus in the more quiet empathetic way so maybe his faith has led him to listen a bit better than we'd otherwise expect from a player of his background.

Yeah, he's been relatively outspoken about this stuff on social media this year, which is nice to see.

For whatever it's worth, this official statement is very much at odds with what Archie Bradley and Jon Jay said at the press conference following the postponement.

Looking at OPS to date in a short fake season lol

Ottavino should absolutely be able to get Ramos out but he also threw him a terrible pitch that got hammered so I'm not at all surprised he was able to hit it 375 feet.

Sorry Angels, Trout is on the downside of his career now :smug:

e: glancing at his BBR page, it looks like the main reason is he's walking a lot less now

Not what I expected to see

He's having a very off year, by his standards. I've seen a couple of clips of him pretty woefully misplaying stuff in CF, too.

Cleveland is gonna go into a full teardown (I mean, moreso than they already are) when they let Lindor walk so I guess this kind of makes sense?

The Twins actually trying to win and the White Sox getting good sooner than expected really hosed their plan of "I dunno, be just good enough to win the division and see what happens?"

Catching up on the trades that went down today. Seems like teams were basically giving away serviceable starting pitchers (Walker, Stripling, Ray, Minor), which makes sense I guess, since you're only getting them for a month. Except for Stripling; that trade surprises me.

You can only trade guys in the 60-man pool this season, so some of the PTBNLs from this deadline might be bigger names than we're used to for that sort of thing.
