In terms of BWar, Drew doesn't have the Atlanta record by position player. Instead it is held by an outfielder in the 1980s at 8.8. Bet you can't tell me who it was.

Good job on the reverse Riley jinx.

I'm wondering if he is taking more pitches due to Acuna being on base a lot (and giving him a chance to steal). That results in a lot of balls and strikes. And Olson does walk and strike out a lot.

This x 1000. Spending now is an investment which will pay off during the term of the new local TV contract.

Think of it this way: If we are a game behind and tied in the loss column, that means that we have played two fewer games than the Mets and, all other things being equal, would have to win both "extra" games to catch them. On the other hand, if we are a game behind and tied in the win column...

Is a -0.2 WAR is decent?

Jeter did have a career .350 BABIP in over 12000 PAs.

Through 90 games (344 PAs), Harris has amassed 4.4 WAR. How does that stack up historically? Well, among CFs 21 and younger it ranks as the 17th best of all time. That's really good. BUT, what if he had that level of performance over 600 PAs? That would compute to 7.67 WAR, which would...

Mets are 10-8 in games started by DeGrom and Scherzer since they came off the IL. And Scherzer is back on it. The fact is that although the Braves' remaining schedule is tougher than the Mets', the Braves are a better team right now.

When did the DV charge arise? If it was in the last two years (statute of limitations) it could be revived, even if it has been Nolle prossed (fancy language for a dismissal). Also, when it comes time to sentence him on the DUI charge, the underlying facts of the DV charge can be taken into...

But they are 2-4 in the games that mattered the most in th last year.

Another point to consider is that the horrible local TV contract that has handcuffed revenues is up for renewal pretty soon. I think AA wants to have the team at its peak level (several straight playoff appearances, a couple or three pennants, etc.) when that the comes, so that the demand for...

And Rosario was 1x4 with a double and 2 strikeouts last night.

Or came across, as the case may be. According to BBRef, in the last 100 seasons, among first basemen with at least 2500 plate appearances (146 individuals), Keith Hernandez leads all first basemen in DWar. That's not a surprise as Hernandez is widely reputed to have been an outstanding...

Will Smith since September 1: 20 innings, 7 hits, 2 ER, 1 HR, 24 Ks, 9 walks (5 of them in a two-game stretch in mid-September when he got two white-knuckle saves). That's down the stretch in a pennant race, when every win was needed, and the playoffs.

No, you don’t understand. Ron Darling said it was a great move and Urias was the best pitcher since, maybe Koufax.

Roberts must have been listening to Ron Darling going on and on about how great Urias is. BTW, Darling sure loves him some Dodgers, doesn't he?

Yes and to illustrate: In their last 18 playoff games, the Braves are 13-5.

"Last year the bullpen got lots of outs, this year they didn't" Braves' bullpen ERA and ranks 2020: 4.46, 15th in MLB, 8th in the NL 2021: 3.89, 8th in MLB, 4th in the NL.

I don’t think Langeliers was a surprise. Sean, on the other hand, was a shocker.
