They only sell out when the Yankees or Red Sox visit…it's beyond pathetic.

Don't put it in Portland. They'll burn it down becomes it's a reminder of an older America that must be destroyed

I am going to duck after this, but bring them to San Antonio! We should have 3 teams in Texas.

I will still pull for the Astros, but we will go watch games if they are in San Antonio.

the Rays need to find a location on the east side of Tampa somewhere close to I-4

so fans and visitors from Orlando can get to the stadium in just over an hour's drive

The woke crowd in Portland wouldn't know what baseball is. It work in Portland Maine as nobody attends baseball games anyway.

Too bad Yuli doesn't play at MMP this season with the Marlins. He would get a massively positive reception from Astros fans.

Somebody's phone auto-corrected his name to Mauricio Dublin last year. And I refuse to let things go if I think they are funny.

they should've just put a picture of that swing from odor on the their city connect jersey. Way more recognizable for the team than a dragon or whatever they have on it.

I heard he and his brother (also Rougned) beat up another guy in the locker room. Or was it beat off?

Statcast released a new stat - Catcher's Caught Stealing Above Average

Quote:

What is this? A Statcast metric designed to express the skill of catchers at throwing out runners on steal attempts, given the specifics of the opportunities they are presented with.

How this works: Each steal attempt (currently at 2B only) is assigned a probability of being successful or not based on several inputs at the time the pitch crosses the plate, most notably: runner distance from second, runner speed, pitch location, pitcher/batter handedness, and awareness of pitchouts or delayed steals. It's the Statcast translation of the long-time saying "you steal off the pitcher, not the catcher."

How to read it: Caught Stealing Above Average is the difference between actual caught stealing and estimate caught stealing based on the attempts seen. Catcher Stealing Runs is a translation of Caught Stealing Above Average to a run value on a .65 runs/CS basis, the difference between a SB (+.2 runs) and a CS (-.45 runs).

This is something Maldy is elite at now and over the last several years.

Nashville. I think a team would do really well there.

Interesting stat.

Lee and Diaz dont have enough reps to be measurable at the new stat, but they both have better pop times and arm strength than Maldy. Lee in particular is elite there, right up with Realmuto.

Makes sense. No one that lives in Tampa is from Tampa.
