April 22, 20241 yr Looks like Aaron Boone got tossed for a fan behind him saying something. Look where everyone points, even the dude in the 2nd row pointing at the guy in front of him.
April 22, 20241 yr Mason Miller, closer for the A's hit 103.3 mph while striking out Volpe, Soto and Judge.

April 23, 20241 yr https://sports.yahoo.com/brewers-starting-pitching-depth-takes-172957262.html Brewers still trucking along even with DL Hall (shocker, I know) out now...amazing how resilient (and deep) that front office and overall organization has been, now without the leadership of David Stearns going into its second year.
April 24, 20241 yr https://www.mlb.com/news/blake-snell-lands-on-15-day-injured-list Never sign those late FA guys. Look at Chapman Martinez Bellinger all slow going out of the gate. Montgomery relying on lesser pure stuff the major exception.
April 26, 20241 yr Yeah except at the end of the year Freeman will have 4-5 WAR and Gallo will have maybe 1?

The calculations and metrics were apparently based on the pitcher and his location rather than the shortstop. That was the error. Edited April 30, 20241 yr by WhiteSox2023

Granted he has played long enough where he could refuse an assignment and elect free agency, but then he would lose his entire contract I believe.

Ok, I guess that's what it comes down to, because he has fallen off this year, so better to take a bit of time to get right.

You are correct he has his 5 year rights to refuse the demotion, but then he would forfeit his contract and become a free agent. Nobody is going to give him a single penny, let alone the 35 or so million he is still owed in Houston.

It's like you took the chance to jump on a simple category mistake by the metric company and turn it into some big (long settled debate) on the validity and utility of metrics in baseball. It is utterly unsurprising that 1) the Sox stink as bad as they do and 2) they employ people that would go "metrics!" in response to a simple error in a tiny corner of the sabemetric universe as a "gotcha".

May 1, 20241 yr The Rockies are now occupying an unenviable place in the MLB history books. More specifically, the Rockies have now trailed for at least part of all 29 of their games so far this season, breaking a tie with the 1910 St. Louis Browns for the longest such streak in history, per The Associated Press. Colorado currently holds a 7-22 record. The last time the Rockies were either tied or ahead for an entire game was a Sept. 26, 2023, game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
