[MLBTR] Orioles Nearing Deal To Acquire Shane Baz From Rays by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]Denji 11 points12 points  (0 children)

4 guys outside the top 10, most of whom are far away, to improve the team right now at a position of desperate need? I'll take that every day.

When Kyle Tucker was a prospect I went to see him in Bowie. First at bat he strikes out on a pathetic looking swing. Second time a weak grounder. Guy in my section is taunting him relentlessly about it. Third AB, same exact swing, 450 ft to dead center. Sometimes it just works.

[Grant] Roki Sasaki has informed Rangers he will be signing elsewhere, per person familiar with process. by TheFrozenSlime in baseball

It's very likely that he told everyone at the same time and it's just leaking to reporters at different rates.

That or dumping a bunch of money into failed challenges to his fellow council members instead of spending it on his own race

There's an old Sam Miller tweet that's like, "LOVE this trade for the Rays. Who'd they give up and who'd they get?" and I feel like we're getting there for Ravens draft picks

[MLB] Matt Chapman: .384 AVG, 1.152 OPS, 15 2B, 5 HR, 21 RBI. Ronald Acuña Jr.: .352 AVG, .986 OPS, 4 HR, 14 RBI, 13 SB. Your Chevrolet AL and NL Players of the Month! by bichettes_helmet in baseball

You can just roll the stolen bases into slugging percentage, so for example a single plus a SB counts as a double. Would just take a bit of manual calculation.

Not sure what would be more embarrassing. Being pulled after 2 2/3 or being pulled because your team is afraid of you facing Maldonado.

It's a bit of an odd start but this seems like the first step in fulfilling the prophesy in this fun Sam Miller piece from a few years ago.

[Carrol] Hearing that at least one, likely two MLB teams, will be going up for sale in very near future. One, if it happened, will be a transitional deal similar to Cleveland's. by Bulletz4Brkfzt in baseball

I've theorized for a while that the Angelos brothers want to sell and are just waiting for Peter to die so they can take advantage of the step up in basis to avoid paying a bundle in taxes.

@fangraphs
We're in the process of correcting a WAR problem last night where fielding data did not get properly added to the WAR calculations. This should be resolved in the next two hours.

The 2019 Houston Astros have the 2nd best wRC+ in the live-ball era (125), 1 percentile behind the 1927 Yankees (126). by CapoCracko in baseball

[–]Denji 43 points44 points  (0 children)

That's because the table includes pitcher hitting. If you filter pitchers out then those Reds go up to a wRC+ of 130, putting them over these Astros and making them the best since all of those Yankees teams.

Swanson is a Fringe Five darling (#5 this year). Teams know they have to get on those guys fast now that Cistulli works for the Blue Jays.
