An interesting stat I found. This is win probability added.

This is a cumulative stat that adds up the teams gained or lost win probability from at bat to at bat.

I think this shows how little the impact an individual baseball player is to there team over the course of the season.

How am I supposed to tell who is winning the shootout on this Prime scorebug?

For reference this is 2-0 Montreal… Red means goal, white circle means no goal.

Very true

The Juan Soto deal is not a good contract…

The fact that none of the $765M over 15 years is deferred means that he accounts for about 20% of the Mets Luxury Tax every season.

And by the way every consecutive season you surpass the cap the tax grows exponentially.

How could he be that valuable?

Luis Severino made history receiving the largest contract in A’s history

1. Luis Severino 3 year $67M
2. Eric Chavez 6 years $66M
3. Yoenis Cespedes 4 years, $36M
4. Khris Davis 2 year $33.5M
5. Trevor Cahill 5 year $30.5M

The top 5 comes to $233M (about 1/3 of what Soto will get next contact)

Torontos new WNBA team is the Toronto Tempo…

Interesting choice.

This new MLB rule “The Golden At Bat” is wild.

This rule would allow teams to slot any hitter into the game at any time no matter where they are in the batting order…

This would really shake things up.

Team Canada announced its World Junior camp list today…

Crazy that 2007 born (late birthday) Gavin McKenna is there.

Most players in their draft year don’t make the team…

McKenna isn’t even in his draft year yet. He’s part of the 2026 NHL draft class.

Brutal to see Trevor Lawrence get injured like that.

That didn’t need to happen…

Good luck in the playoffs 🫡

If you have Saquon Barkley in fantasy this season you are going win.

Minimum 30 pts a week.

Alex Ovechkin out 4-6 weeks.

He’s 26 goals away from Gretzky’s record of 894…

At this point he’s 39 years old and already has 15 goals in 18 games this season.

Breaking the record eventually is inevitable.

The snow in this Steelers Browns game is crazy…

Love to see it.

Now that CHL players can play in the NCAA leagues like the BCHL and USHL are really suffering.

These programs held the monopoly of NCAA D1 recruits….

Now there is no reason to avoid playing in the CHL (OHL, QMJHL, WHL).

Big win for the Canadian Hockey League here.

Yes. George Steinbrenner Field

1. Ohtani 700M (MLB)
2. Mahomes 450M (NFL)
3. Tatum 314M (NBA)
4. Draisaitl 112M (NHL)

If I am the NFL I would be worried about Netflix's ability to stream on Christmas Day.

The Paul vs Tyson fight was full of errors which were most likely related to the volume of viewers on the platform.

There were a lot of casual fans watching the fight... this won't be the case for NFL.

Tyson is looking very old…

Nextflix buffering might just ruin this Paul vs Tyson fight…

Unfortunate.

I agree haha

I have been there too. Like a mini Yankee Stadium.

The Tampa Bay Rays will play at George M. Steinbrenner Field which seats 11,000 fans.

The Rays averaged 16,000 fans per game in 2024.
They were as low as 9,000 fans in 2021.

Should be a perfect fit!

#MLB #Rays

Maybe Santander to Toronto. Seems like a good fit.

Solid

Which MLB free agent does everyone want? Aside from the obvious...

Roki Sasaki had a career worst season in the Japan Pacific League last season….

His ERA was 2.35 with a WHIP just over 1.

He is going to be a monster pickup for an MLB team this season.

Betting sites have an under 500 million dollar contract for Juan Soto at 13 to 1.

Over 800 million at 8 to 1.

We might see the most obnoxious contract in MLB history soon.

Tropicana Field (Rays) still has no roof.

They still haven’t found a new place to play next season.

The Blue Jays will not get Juan Soto.

Best odds: Yankees, Mets
