Psssst. Ball’s different. Again. Drag is up, distance is down. Who knows why. www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...

It is interesting to me that a) a manager pretty much said he cares but also b) the effect is negligible at best in three of last four years. I’m in on shape familiarity general but unsure it works within series / over off days or not.

The Mariners had 25 instances where an RP was seeing a hitter for the 3rd time in a series, including when Bazardo saw Springer for the 3rd time in the ALCS.

The Dodgers have had 1.

I don't even know how they would have those. must be one season (2009/2010?) but even then that was just pitch fx. xwOBA I thought was the Statcast one, which started in 2015.

Ooh not bad too

Eno Sarris @enosarris.bsky.social · 2d

Modern version maybe with the two sliders and better 4s

Eno Sarris @enosarris.bsky.social · 2d

Great change though right

Might like this one best!

Ken Arneson @kenarneson.bsky.social · 2d

Bartolo Colon, but I don’t think he had two sliders

I like woodruff better I think, but now his best secondary is a changeup. Wheelers secondaries are really good, but woo could become wheeler I bet.

Eno Sarris @enosarris.bsky.social · 2d

Not every pitcher has to have a comp of course, but I can’t figure one out for Bryan Woo. Two fastballs that are probably better than his two sliders, with command as his best feature? Who does that remind you of?

What's good for the goose (facing same-side pitching) is not always good for the gander (facing opposite-side pitching).

@enosarris.bsky.social @dvr.bsky.social am I hallucinating or last week when you discussed not moving Sho off of leadoff did Eno say “you can’t cause you never know when he’ll go 3-3 with 3 homers”? That’s quite a call and I think I didn’t make it up like Derek’s fan falling from the stands 😂

That insanity goes down officially as a grounded into double play, making it the only batted ball hit over 350 feet for a GIDP in the pitch tracking era (reg. + postseason).

Max Muncy grounded into a 404-foot double play.
