The Toronto Blue Jays have faced the 2nd hardest pitching according to tjStuff+ I wouldn't pin the Blue Jays offensive struggles mostly on this, but it is an interesting hypothesis by Chris which holds up The Blue Jays are facing tougher pitching than most of the league

Elly De La Cruz now has 8 HR and 17 SB in April he’s the 1st player with at least that many HR & SB in a calendar month (since at least 1901)

I guess Flaherty can throw harder when he wants to. 14ks today. Up to 34% K rate with a 3% BB rate this year. Absurd. That K-BB rate is number one among qualified starters, ahead of JJones, Crochet, JRyan, Kirby, Skubal, Glasnow, etc.

Just putting this out there because I feel like it's a myth that gets repeated endlessly HR distances are not just "based on exit velo & launch angle." Yes, they include wind, if wind moves the trajectory of the ball. You can read more about it here. technology.mlblogs.com/a-lidar-valida…
Not that any of us actually needed more evidence that Ted Williams was about a billion years ahead of his time, but this 1986 conversation between him, Mattingly, and Boggs with @pgammo is one I hadn't seen before, and it is tremendous --> vault.si.com/vault/1986/04/…
Lots of overreaction to MLB results for teams under new MLB org management.
This is a phenomenal approach. I would grade teams' "drafts" without the position column and only using trades made recently not including players.

Here is Time Magazine with the most succinct summary of what a second Trump term would mean. Each of these sentences warrants non-stop front page coverage on every newspaper and broadcast between now and November.
Joe Boyle's command is off the charts, literally (in the bad way.)
Lol at the pitch location chart vs lefties. Gonna need that new changeup.

@Sky_Kalkman I know Eno's model was not kind to Castillo's 4-Seam last season In terms of my model, it doesn't like the movement profile. The velocity isn't fast enough to make up for its deadzone shape. He also has very little extension.

@RedsInFour @Sky_Kalkman @TJStats @NotTheBobbyOrr Fwiw, decreasing O-Swing% and Z-Swing% at the same rate is a net gain to decision value
Jumping off of this, if we weigh each player's swing decisions by those values above [(O-Take * 4.9) - (O-Swing * 6) - (Z-Take * 5.4) - (Z-Swing * 0.2)], we can get to a per-pitch Decision Value metric!
Cade Horton promoted to AAA! Horton is one of the best SP Prospects in Baseball and has been doing well this season with a 1.10 ERA, 2.78 FIP, and 25.8 K-BB% With Horton in AAA we will be getting Statcast Data, which means Cade Horton tjStuff+ and Pitching Summaries!

Fun discussion in our PL discord about Wyatt Langford. He's been holding his own in his swing decisions and his ability to make contact. The power isn't quite where we want it to be, but pitchers are still respecting him more (by throwing him fewer hittable pitches)
“Of course that's your contention. You're a online pitching development information junkie. You just got finished readin' some Kyle Boddy or Eric Cressey probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'til next month when you get to Rob Gray and Randy Sullivan, and then you're gonna…

White supremacists are now marching in Charleston, West Virginia. With no police in sight.
@Hair_Maxxing No, in the long run, immigrants don’t reduce wages because they increase labor supply and labor demand, but a sudden overnight deportation effort would disrupt tons of businesses and absolutely raise prices
I think this statement is too strong. There is a high degree of randomness involved, but it’s possible to do it better or worse. Now, does the average drafted draft often enough that their results give strong signal as to their skill? Probably not.
@SethPartnow Its amazing how much opposition there is to the axiom that "draft success is random & arbitrary," despite all the evidence. Every team has been burned the draft many times-- thats the evidence right there. Yet I still see a ton of pushback fraught with anecdotal examples & bias.
