MLB is blitzing fans with pro-salary cap propaganda We get the league doing it, but third party writers are credulously presenting the owners’ version of reality without critical context I deconstructed a recent Jeff Passan article on the subject— open.substack.com/pub/michaelc...

I could be all wet but replacing 3B in a 15 isn’t easy rn Keys batting 5th tonight, 6th straight start vs rhp No barrels yet but 94 EV and 64 HH% with a 22° launch says they should come 21 HR in 67 minors games + 16 barrel% in aaa Yes 33 K% but projections = 25-26%

MLB stuck between trying to sell shit and not pissing off the Christian nationalists Article says it gave players a “routine warning.” Oxymoron. If you warn repeatedly for the same thing it’s not discipline

Since Mike Brown bitched about fouls: NY 56 FTA, SA 38 Brunson 26, Wemby 12 So the 7’4 guy gets fouled less than the stubby 6’1 guy When the alien’s team led for 85% of those 2 games Maybe he’ll learn this BS for next year:

New savant swing timing & miss distance leaderboards Mostly useless for fantasy But this checks out for Devers He swings ferociously but misses under even on meatballs

I know it’s verboten to say anything bad about Brunson But he hasn’t been that good in this series 37% FG, 31.8% 3FG, .414 EFG% 1:1 AST:TO ratio (13 each) Also decades watching nba and I’ve never seen guys allowed to play left tackle on D

MC @zeitheist.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Hey let me reach out and push you in the chest as you drive the ball, no foul, right? Shamet was straight holding Wemby by the wrists a couple trips earlier But the Spurs blew it, youthful mistakes, offense is not efficient

MC @zeitheist.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

If it feels like Luzardo’s whiffs are down, well they are FF and SW down 11% and 7% from April -> May Sinker usage declined in May but used 50% as primary putaway pitch? That’s asking for contact He led with it today (93.4 EV)

MC @zeitheist.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

OG lol Brunson was restrained but OG, Hart and KAT are worthy understudies In a 2 pt game with under 4 to play this shit matters

MC @zeitheist.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

First time I can remember deGrom concern for non injury reasons Pacing for almost 40 HR allowed 91.4 EV, 11.5 brl%, 46 HH% are scary QoC numbers too 5 top 10 round picks are bottom 20 in HR/9

The Cavs trailed the entire second half yet Detroit was in the penalty halfway through the 3rd Merrill is moving 3 steps on screen This is less reaching than I saw in regular season No matter- free throws for Harden! He took 10 Cade took 2 Cavs 30 FT, Pistons 19

Next time an old head says, well they were allowed to put their hands on Jordan… Brunson is a special (bad) case but you get why ball handlers flip their heads back That’s assault by Randle The defensive contact leniency has increased to the point it’s frankly too much

MC @zeitheist.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

Why I prefer full ABS 3-0, man on 1st Sinker way outside, called strike, Wilson doesn’t challenge (A’s have one left) Later called strike 3 low He challenges THAT, just clipped the zone He’s out, they’re out of challenges Does this prove he doesn’t know the zone? Great framing or ump whiff?

Nepo Eagle cannot have so much power at nbc that no one can give him notes Every dunk has some clumsy, over the top exclamation, eg, he has a vendetta against the rim! The broadcast also praised this “great screen” by Strus — who pushed the defender in the chest with both hands

This is smart but isn’t it a foul to butt check a defender in a non rebound situation? Idk if Mitch Johnson showed young coach panic, but Wemby got 2 minutes rest the entire 2nd half Finished the 3rd, played entire 4th And looked gassed

Walt Weiss with the dipshit of the day award JR Ritchie, a rookie, finished the 5th at 81p, after escaping HBP and 2 BB So Weiss wheels him back out. 4p walk. 5p walk. 5 of last 6 ABs walk or HBP Still leaves him in to face a lefty who’s mashed RHP 3-run HR
