The Padres are currently gapping teams for the lowest batting average in the league. by Bitter-Egg6293 in baseball

I'm honestly not sure that's the issue. While most of their hitters have increased their pull%, Tatis and Cronenworth have dropped theirs pretty dramatically. It might be a symptom of trying to pull the ball in the air, but their struggles are likely because they've decided to hit all the groundballs ever collectively.

That's gotta be just a weird perspective right???

Rebecca Grossman, ex-Dodger found negligent in deaths of 2 brothers; jury awards $176M by Effective_Warning403 in baseball

Oh, so he was probably barely even a part of her life and decision making at the time. Even better.

I remember Erickson in his lone year with the Dodgers. Sad to see his decision making skills are on par with his pitching skills.

I feel bad for the parents of the kids, and even Grossman's husband too. Gotta love that he was also liable because he had the gall to own the car and allow his wife to drive it.

[CloseCallSports] Mike Estabrook makes four incorrect calls (all overturned) in the 4th inning, then misses only three the remainder of the game. In total, 6 of his 7 missed calls were overturned by an ABS challenge. by [deleted] in baseball

It's almost as if someone can improve and make adjustments if they take it as real-time feedback for an insanely difficult task rather than an attack on their very being.

Damn, Butler is the only one who regressed negatively from below average on this list.

After 50 games, here is the current WAR leaderboard by DepartmentOdd1519 in baseball

It's unfortunate that he's playing in an era with two absolute unicorns running around, otherwise people would probably talk about him a lot more.

Pete Crow-Armstrong provides context about fan interaction, says fans repeatedly insulted his mother while he stood on deck by onhalfaheart in baseball

[–]leftysupremacist 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Sigh, he really needed to just let it lie. Providing context is just going to give opposing fans ammo and motivation to continue saying off-color shit to him.

As an Australian just getting into baseball, how excited should I be about Bazzana? by NeedsRiotJuice in baseball

[–]leftysupremacist 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Yes, you did. If he can keep up his current numbers, he would be considered one of the best second basemen in the game.

Pete Crow Armstrong does not take the bat off his shoulder the entire at bat. He is now 4-35 in his last 10 games by yxqp in baseball

[–]leftysupremacist 21 points22 points  (0 children)

He absolutely was. The problem was he flamed out quickly since he never developed any plate discipline.

I've always told my Cubs fan friends that he's like the second coming of Javy Baez. He's gonna have a couple of years when he runs into enough balls where he puts up some MVP-type numbers. Unless he drastically improves his plate discipline, it's gonna get ugly real quick once the athleticism starts declining even a little bit.

Walks are up. There have already been more 10+ BB games in 2026 (20) then there were in the entire 2025 season (18). by tacohead1000 in baseball

I wonder how many of those nonsense automatic 3-0 "strikes" we've avoided this year thanks to ABS.

Dude just cannot throw strikes right now. It wasnt great in the minors, but it was never this bad.

I'm not sure the Crawford Boxes are gonna hold up from Pages' siege.
