i watched the first couple of innings of that game, is he always that wild (pitching-wise)?
― na (NA), Monday, 5 April 2021 14:04 (two years ago) link
In his first 50 innings he hasn’t been that wild, but he doesn’t top tier command yet. I think Maddon let him pitch a little further so that he could gain confidence, which resulted in more walks than anticipated but also that great strikeout turned 2 runs sequence.

btw i checked out more of the jomboy channel (a couple posts up) and i feel like it's a little bit of a brodown, but much less so than other sports dudes, and the "analysis" of fights, weird plays, fans making plays, players saying bad words (pretty much any player caught on film saying ANY words, in fact), and pretty much any other weird baseball thing is pretty great.

not really sure why -- he's good for nothing except homers and he can't play short, where the yankees are actually thin -- but apparently the rangers are paying (perhaps literally) all of the remaining $27m he's owed, so hey why not

Have only checked out a couple box scores and of course since I have been ignoring baseball the Reds start 5-1 with the most runs they have ever scored in the first 6 games. Figures...
Did not realize until a couple days ago that Naquin had ended up a Red. The two times I saw him play live for Cleveland he had great games both getting a couple hits and making really nice plays in the outfield. Seems like a guy that had the talent to make that next step but it never happened.
Never know, sometimes guys like that it finally clicks and they have some a few good seasons in their 30s.

One absolutely bonkers thing I noticed today - this season could very well end with no hitters over 7 fWAR. Going all the way back to 1884 when the NL expanded beyond 112 games, I can only find 2 seasons where that happened, 1900 and 1918. Didn't even happen in the strike seasons. Most seasons it doesn't come remotely close to happening.
― ✖, Wednesday, September 29, 2021 2:42 PM (five days ago) bookmarkflaglink
no one even made it to 6.9. honestly wild. even if trout/acuna/tatis had all been healthy enough to make it to 7, that still would've been a really light year. in 1999 no one had more than 8, which is rare in itself, but 6 players had 7+.
― ✖, Monday, 4 October 2021 05:08 (two years ago) link
correa led position players with 7.2 bWAR. by my quick research the last times no hitter had at least 8 was 1981, 1971, and 1940, and 7.2 is the lowest leader I can see since george sisler led with 6.6 in 1918

speaking of stats/records like this: the triple
Pour one out for … the triple? For the first time in the history of baseball (not counting last season’s 60-game mess), nobody reached double digits in baseball’s most exciting play. No one got all that close, either; the year ended with David Peralta, Bryan Reynolds and Shohei Ohtani all tied with eight. We came awfully close to the same happening in 2019, when four batters tied for the MLB lead with ten, but it’s been only 14 years since each league had a hitter with 20-plus in Jimmy Rollins and Curtis Granderson.
