Falcons DC apparently left his iPad unlocked and his son got Shedur Sanders phone number off it and prank called him on draft day. It's embarrassing for the Falcons but the bigger issue is data security. If this can happen then it's not unreasonable to think someone could get access to a team...

They've had some crazy luck with guys falling to them.

I don't dislike moving up to grab Pearce. It's an aggressive move that took advantage of an unforeseen opportunity. I just think we seriously overpaid. The value of the picks exchanged very much favors the Rams. The price reeks of desperation. I gotta think the Rams were well aware of the...

The Falcons trading back into the first round exposes the desperation of the front office. TF knows he's going to get shown the door if the Falcons dont at least make the playoffs. He might need to win a playoff game to stay. So TF is all in to win now. He doesn't care about next year's draft...

AA's utter failure to build a pen is inexcusable. Dude needs to be put on notice. Fix the roster or find a new home.

Can we let the pitcher hit and use the DH for Kelenic?

This is a team built for the 3 run homer. But we're striking out too much and our HR/FB ratio is unsustainably low. When that's happening to this team it will strand a lot of guys.

Baldwin's average EV coming into tonight was 94.3 mph. That's 24th in baseball for players with at least 20 PAs. It went up after his 98 mph out. When this kid starts getting any luck at all the league better watch out.

Baldwin's BABIP was .071 coming into today. It's lower now. Poor kid.

Our team BABIP entering tonight was .199. No other team is under .250. We've lapped the field in bad luck. We're still striking out too much but this team will get better.

...which octane?

At least we cleared the pitcher.

It's a perfect storm. West coast trip to start the season, bad luck of biblical proportions, injuries, suspension, poor leadership, minimal intensity, etc. Every possible thing that could go wrong has gone wrong. Some of it is no one's fault (e.g. BABIP) but some of it is definitely the fault...

Fire Snit, fire AA, fire all the coaches, fire the guy that sells popcorn in the upper deck. We need an apocalypse for this franchise.

Can we start discussing contraction for the league starting with this club?

There are legitimately 5 guys in that lineup who aren't major league bats. With Elder on the mound, that lineup is a white flag.

That'll be pythagorean which goes by runs scored vs runs allowed. It can be heavily affected by bad luck over a SSS. Just normalizing our luck with RISP alone gives us another 8-10 runs which would totally change that expected w/l.

Update: Our BABIP actually dropped, which I didn't think was possible. We're dead last in the league with a BABIP of .178. Next lowest is the Mets at .193 no other team is under .200. BABIP with runners on is .087. BABIP with men in scoring position is .045. No other team is under .100 for...

What's the source of that expected w/l? Is it Pythagorean?

If we dont dramatically turn things around we should consider moving more than Albies. Restock the minors and hope for a new window.
