It’s deeply unreasonable to move any of the big deals with the expectation of remaining competitive. You should absolutely see what you can get for Duran tho. That doesn’t signal the end of your window and could fetch some real pieces to lengthen the roster.

Pinch hitting your worst bench bat as the last out of the season is the closest thing baseball has to a Hail Mary

Starting Nola tonight was the closest Mattingly could get to sending Seth Johnson out to die one last time

The worst Braves hitter in history would get a power up vs 2008 Brad Lidge if ATL was down 1 in the 9th, it’s been that way forever. That’s why game 1 in 2022 and Kimbrel in the clincher in 2023 are 2 of the most unbelievable Phillies wins of my entire life.

been a min but got a new update: •YoY, month v month, 1H v 2H stat deltas have their own tabs. Sortable by stat or player (also on teams pages) •pitch trait tracking is available in the Ind. Pitches gamelogs. Good for picking up on changes a pitcher makes from a specific date

Today I learned that Heriberto Hernández doesn't just hammer the ball, he also makes very good swing decisions. No. 4 among qualified hitters in @notthebobbyorr.bsky.social's SEAGER.

Been working on some stuff: - Radar plots for comparing players via percentile ranks in each stat - a custom dates aggregation tab in the gamelogs - pitch comps can be compared across groups (so you’ll see Cris Sánchez’s CH returning RHP SW comps for ex)

Big drop today: - The Pitch Comps page is live, with every field from the Shapes and Outcomes page available to form comparisons - There’s splits for both Team Hitting and Team Pitching now, the same as appear for Individual Hitters and Pitchers (1/2)

I love when people say that measuring something is ‘analytics’ (derogatory) or a ‘bad stat’. Things exist regardless of if we measure them or not; we’re just observing them now. Didn’t realize you were so into quantum mechanics bro

Nobody remembers when it started. There’s rumors of a time the Phillies had more runs than their opponents, but those are only ever whispered in hushed, hurried tones; the city elders have jailed men for less. All there is now is The Streak. All there ever can be is The Streak.

A few updates: -hitter/pitcher/team gamelogs sortable by date & player -pctile pages that recalculate based on a threshold you choose (i.e. 50 BBE, PA, etc.) -an Execution Grade based on locations + tunnel metrics specific to a pitcher to grade how well he’s using his stuff

for his entire career, Jose Altuve has had to fight off an unfairly high strike zone. Until the ABS zone redefinition, that is. On the smallest hitter in the majors suddenly finding himself in a fair fight up in the zone @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

One of the league's smallest players is perhaps the biggest beneficiary of the implementation of the ABS system.

it’s important to remember the rules for opening day reactions. If it: - confirms something you already thought, it’ll last all year; you have the gift of foresight - makes you look bad, then it’s just one day in a long season; it’s a marathon, not a sprint

The Ben Rice helium has deflated. It shouldn’t. Cags hits the ball as hard as Kurtz in the air—but not often enough—with better contact skills. Is he a Kurtz/Yandy mashup? With assists from @notthebobbyorr.bsky.social’s awesome new app: open.substack.com/pub/michaelc...

fun new update: I added a page for MLB equivalencies that translates stats from the minor leagues to MLB, and those outputs can be used to look at your favorite minor leaguers on the Hitter Comps page:

When an athlete thanks God in an interview it always makes me wonder just how into X’s & O’s they think the big guy is. Would JC run a west coast offense or is he more of a triple option guy? Does he appreciate moving the runner over or does he dig the long ball?

there were two middle infielders in 2025 with 500+ PA and five HR or fewer: Chase Meidroth and Xavier Edwards 24 middle infielders did that in 1976.

the White Sox infield has a little bit of everything Chase Meidroth-Luisangel Acuña middle infield would be straight out of 1973 A Munetaka Murakami-Colson Montgomery left side would be straight from 2073

there’s a saying in soccer: it’s a simple game where 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes, and at the end, the Germans always win. can be applied to the MLB offseason now: it’s a simple time where 30 teams chase stars for 5 months and at the end, the Dodgers sign everybody.
