like it or not it's how you carry it. Pritzker looks, moves, and talks like he's part of Local 400, not the Forbes 400.

At @baseballprospectus.com today: Through the All-Star break, two free-swinging young centerfielders were top performers. They struggled after the break. Was it variability or regression?

I don’t think we should trivialize the fact that 1-2% of the attendees may very well show up looking for a fight, not a peaceful protest, and preventing them from doing so and taking everybody else with them is kinda important. It would not be the first time.

one response to this (correct) observation is to say “well, the cops will attack you no matter how you dress and behave.” that’s right. images of cops and ICE beating grandmas and kids in inflatable frog costumes is a win for the opposition.

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

When opposing teams face the Brewers, something weird happens: highly-paid professionals seemingly forget how to throw and catch the ball.

GROUNDED INTO DOUBLE PLAY is an incredible button on this

Jayson Stark @jaysonst.bsky.social · 2d

In answer to your questions ...

No, I've never seen that before.
No, it didn't happen because I will Strange But True madness to happen.
Yes, we just saw a "grounded into double play" on a ball that looked like a possible slam over the CF wall.
And the catcher recorded both forceouts.

Baseball!

True, but I would also argue that ERA baseball is more entertaining to watch than FIP baseball.

Matt Winkelman @mattwinkelman.bsky.social · 2d

For the NLDS which includes Clayton Kershaw eating it in a blowout.
PHI: 2.87 ERA 2.92 FIP
LAD: 3.32 ERA 3.58 FIP
MIL: 3.35 ERA 5.04 FIP
CHC: 3.85 ERA 5.04 FIP

Matt Winkelman @mattwinkelman.bsky.social · 2d

The Brewers going with an opener in NLCS Game 1 just communicates the giant pitching difference between the two NLDS series.
