If I’m mathin’ correctly, Quinn Priester is 10-0 with a 2.45 ERA over his last 12 starts. One helluva an emergency trade acquisition in early April and credit to the Milwaukee Pitching Lab

40 down, 10 to go for Schwarber to put up a 50 burger. We have seen just a handful of those seasons from players age 32+ with a heavy dose during the pre-Mitchell Report era (data via Stathead)

Love something as much as Yandy Diaz loves hitting homers at Steinbrenner Field. Add 2 more red dots down the RF line after today

When the highs are in the low 70’s in early August, you take advantage of it. Rain was t stopping me from enjoying a hike on the Ridgeline Trail along Crowders Mountain + Pinnacle today

In the same week, he went back to Williams the night after he had a 30+ pitch outing. Was also a bit puzzled why he didn’t go with the platoon advantage and some of the bullpen matchups last series.

JosΓ© RamΓ­rez is the first MLB third baseman (more games at 3B than not) in history to hit 275 home runs and steal 275 bases!

I can’t remember why I walk into a room multiple times a day yet I know that Joey Meyer once hit a 582 ft homer for the Denver Zephyrs in 1987.

The day after trade deadline feels like a good time to mention that the price of an annual FanGraphs membership is going up from $60 to $80 on Monday. The good news is that this makes a three-year membership for $150 a massive bargain for the next 72 hours.

Rays have multiple guys in the lineup that are tradable but one guy left on the bench due to multiple injuries in the game. Maybe a pitcher can come out to play a position in this game that should have been an email
