Shohei takes flight in Toronto!
Safe to say Ricky Pearsall wasn’t wearing sunglasses indoors in the middle of the night, gotta love the pick just for that reason.
These old ass umps are out of control.

“Velocity matters. Teams want guys who throw hard. As a coach, I’d rather coach a guy who can throw it 95 than 90. Faster is better, but at the same time it’s not the answer to your problems.” -Greg Maddux sports.yahoo.com/pitching-legen…
This absolutely should be ruled an error. Taveras coasted back on the ball and then totally whiffed on it.

Ohtani: I am a victim and will involve the feds The Feds: Ohtani is a victim of massive fraud and we have evidence supporting this, and will arrest Ippei Jeff Passan: Here are some of the very crafty methods Ippei used to steal money Yankees fans online: I am extremely dumb
🧵 Details from the criminal complaint against Ippei Mizuhara, incld investigators interviews Shohei Ohtani & others Ahead of Ohtani's MLB move, it was Mizuhara who offered to be his MLB interpreter. Mizuhara was also “separately employed” by Ohtani, in addition to his MLB teams
Spent last week arguing with finance bros about the verification methods of banks and how there’s no way a bank lets Shohei transfer money without him knowing. And then today we find out Ippei calls the bank and just has to say “Hi, yes, it’s me Shohei”.
You heard it here first! The FBI and a federal prosecutor are going to falsely charges against a translator so that Shohei can keep playing baseball. Ippei really is the fall guy. Damn. That’s enough social media for the day 😂

I didn't notice this chart when I saw and engaged with @castrovince's thread about pitcher injuries over the weekend, but it’s actually pretty interesting to look at the increase in minor league UCL injuries that has occurred since 2018.
Justin Verlander on the rash of pithcer injuries: "...I think the game has changed a lot, it would be easiest to blame the pitch clock, in reality everything has a little bit of influence, the biggest thing is the style of pitching has changed so much, everyone is throwing as…
Players need to go back to the good ole days

Easy call
@KFCBarstool So what’s the line? Only if she makes the defender bleed? Only if she brings out a baseball bat and smacks her with it looney tunes style? If she is moving and extends her elbow it’s a foul
This Blue Jays team has to be the slowest in baseball. Absolutely painful watching them run the bases.

He looks very passive this year, plate discipline has been phenomenal but power and exit velos have been down considerably! I still lean shoulder, bc he looked different after that July 7th tweak, but yeah still cause for concern regardless
What a first round of the 2024 NFL Draft! 22 of the 32 picks were blue-chip prospects on 247Sports 📈 247sports.com/League/NFL/Dra…
@Chukars @EricCross04 Watch the bat position, load and aggression on this swing:
Corbin Carroll tonight: 4 for 5, 1 HR, 3 R, 2 RBI 🔥🐍
@Chukars @EricCross04 I’ve been watching his swing since he hurt that shoulder and I’ve noticed an even more aggressive bat positioning since. Before injury left, after right. He’s always been a little bit erratic with that start but it’s definitely more pronounced now.
@Chukars @EricCross04 I don’t believe he’s actually hurt. I believe it’s more of a mental block than anything.. again no data or anything to support this. We just know that players have a hard time sometimes overcoming the mental aspect of injuries….
Once EDLC accepts the fact he cannot hit as a RHH, he will become unstoppable. Just check enormous gap in both his career production LHH v RHH, as well as his swing speed(*) (Red/Right) (*) Dont ask when fangraphs.com/players/elly-d…
ELDC is clueless as a RHH. Just compare him to himself as a LHH. As a LHH, he swings like an MLB player and takes like an MLB player. And in Heart of Plate, he does damage. As a RHH... what is he doing? Is it confidence? His familiarity? His eyes? baseballsavant.mlb.com/visuals/swing-…
SHOHEI OHTANI 119-MPH OFF THE BAT AND 450 FEET HOLY SHIT
THE 4 BLAST METRICS I USE THE MOST, HOW I USE THEM, AND WHY (thread) In the past, when I talked hitting, I always spoke about the player’s swing - as if it’s a singular thing. And then I would try and analyze it on video where the player is hitting the SAME BP pitch, that’s…
Is Nationals second baseman Luis García finally putting it together? He debuted as just a 20 year old and is still just 23 years old, hitting the ball with more authority than ever before. If it holds up, he serves as a good reminder that it takes most prospects time to live up…
The epidemic of dynasty baseball managers is wanting to have the youngest team or most top prospects and not actually focusing on having the best players on your roster. There is so much upside in vets in dynasty. Flags Fly Forever.
I am buying the dip where possible on these young studs who are struggling early on! 📉📈 Julio Rodriguez Corbin Carroll Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. Jordan Walker Evan Carter Wyatt Langford Spencer Torkelson Francisco Alvarez Nolan Gorman Christian Encarnacion-Strand Gabriel Moreno…
The “0s and 1s” Morning Recap - if new to the “0s and 1s” this is the morning recap of the players that have been included in the “0s and 1s” articles. It is for the big league owners. I point out undervalued players, that are 2% or less owned, on Fantrax. At 3% they graduate,…
Sometimes it’s really as simple as betting on the tools. Especially when they’re elite. It’ll allow plenty of leash and room for error I tell myself this annually yet I always chicken away from it.

Tyler Glasnow says there was never any doubt in the Dodgers clubhouse that Shohei was innocent. “We all knew early on that Ippei was doing some shady stuff”
The Dodgers just spent over a $1.3 billion this winter, and just pinch hit Taylor Trammel for Miguel Rojas
Of course, we have to cut them some slack. They had 873 shoe-related clips to prepare, sometimes there's just not time for the actual baseball content.
@idiots_league I agree, I'm just saying it's funny how things kinda shook out there. More so that the Dodgers could just apparently never find AB's for Busch but would do anything to find AB's for Lux, who just isn't a good MLB hitter.
