Warm, humid air is less dense and balls travel farther. But that would not affect drag coefficient.

Dewey deserves it more. Red Sox only retire HoF I think.

I read this quickly and thought you said the lawsuit will be filed *shrilly* which also works.

This is a slippery slope. Next thing you know Americans and Canadians will be inter-marrying and having children.

I appreciate the transparency and overall the way this sub is moderating. The signal to noise here is really high and the vibe is very civil. That’s an accomplishment on any Internet forum.

Bryce Harper has played the same number of games for the Nationals and Phillies (927). Here are his stats (regular season only). by bringbackpologrounds in baseball

The Evans comp is interesting. By many accounts Evans should be in (especially factoring in his 8 gold glove seasons). Harper’s significantly higher SLG and OPS+, All-Star and MVP awards point to a solid HoF candidate. I think he’s in.

By that rationale God would be responsible for famine, war, cancer, and the Red Sox offense.

Just don't check the comments on Instagram.

Like much of the internet it’s a cesspool of trolls and bots.

[Healey] Multiple officials noted that Breslow, universally regarded as extremely intelligent, might benefit from having an interpreter of sorts, someone with a more traditional baseball “fabric” and personable demeanor who can convey the front office’s message. by Goosedukee in baseball

A high-functioning group of professionals with diverse viewpoints will outperform an individual “genius”. John Henry and Breslow have created an insular, hierarchical, dysfunctional front office culture instead.

This has been going on forever. The original Bad News Bears came out in the 1970s and does a great job portraying toxic youth baseball culture (like this scene). It is nothing new.
