Rays-M's are 1-1 in the 4th, as well.

Statcast is drunk. Yordan's HR has an xBA of 0.090 but is out of 19/30 parks.

xBA doesn't account for direction. A ball hit 349 feet that stays up in the air that long is usually caught unless it's down the line in 19 parks.

The back spin on the ball helped it get out, too, according to the radio team.

Yeah. I tried explaining it to someone else a while back. xBA is EV + LA but not direction. The HR info is 100% direction only based on a a fence mapping and where the ball landed. It doesnt care how it got there.

Its still drunk.

Astros lineup is starting to shape up. If Tucker returns we have

1. Altuve - 2B
2. Bregman - 3B
3. Alvarez - DH
4. Tucker - LF
5. Diaz - C
6. Pena - SS
7. Gamel - RF
8. Meyers - CF
9. Singleton/Carantini - 1B

Always wondered about that, thanks.

Does catch probability include proximity to the wall (robbing a homer, Dubon's catch and crash, etc.)?
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

It is supposed to, but I don't think they considered Dubon's catch impacted by the wall. Silly, I know.

Gamel has been really great at the plate so far
Less than a week in Houston and Cintron has already fixed him.

Blame social media. That's my go-to answer for the demise of western civilization. Well, social media and Alex Cintron.

Actually that seems pretty spot on. The push to be first rather than right in the news media definitely started on socials

Ford just said on the radio broadcast. "Six ** innings by Arrighetti."
