Duquette was asked by Skaggs lawyer Daniel Dutko if 2019, when Skaggs started 15 games, was on pace to be his healthiest season. Duquette said no, offering that 2016 was actually Skaggs’ healthiest season. However, in 2016, Skaggs made only 10 starts, and missed more than half the year recovering from Tommy John surgery. Before Duquette testified, the Angels called Walters, the sports economist, who testified that he used Baseball-Reference.com’s similar players’ tool to find the best comparisons to Skaggs. On cross examination, Walters was asked why the list included numerous relievers, when Skaggs was a starter. The list also included several pitchers whose careers ended at age 27, and several more who were born in the 1940s, and pitched before the mound was lowered in 1969. Dutko noted language on Baseball-Reference’s website saying their similar players comparison tool can be unreliable.
This reads like the world's most fucked-up arbitration hearing.

ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN
"Richard Nixon is enjoying a successful presidency, only to find himself tangled in a plumbing scandal that rocked the political world.”
I already had very low expectations when I saw Starz was developing an Ippei-Ohtani series, and then I saw the synopsis says Ippei "finds himself tangled in a gambling scandal that rocked the sports world.”
That's certainly one way to describe his role in the scandal!
HAZEL IS BACK HOME!!! A construction worker at a site just around the corner from us managed to get ahold of her and made a makeshift leash with some rope. She's gotten water, food and is currently decompressing in her crate. Seems mostly okay physically, maybe a couple of scrapes--vet later.

Lost dog flyer for a medium-sized pit mix, about 1.5 years old, with a brindle brown and bright blue eyes. She is wearing an orange collar. Flyer reads: LOST / DO NOT CHASE / LAX AREA / WESTCHESTER 90045 / AIRPORT/MANCHESTER / 310 991 6884 / 301 801 8083.
Los Angeles/westside folks: Our foster dog, Hazel, got out tonight around 8:08 p.m., and we have not been able to locate her. Please keep an eye out--and if you see her, DO NOT CHASE. She is very timid and will not come to someone she doesn't know. PLEASE CALL/TEXT THE NUMBERS ON THE FLYER.

This is probably the silliest story I will ever write for MLB dot com, and I had so much fun with it. Find out how baseball shaped the career of Matt Farley, writer of over 26,000 songs and counting! www.mlb.com/news/musicia...

A custom-made poker table reading "Arenas Poker Club" featuring a silhouette of a basketball player with a No. 0 jersey number.
Can't help but feel like this picture is going to hurt Gilbert Arenas' claim that he wasn't hosting an illegal poker game at his house.
