The Clippers traded James Harden and Ivica Zubac, then went 19-13 afterwards while adding 25 y/o star Darius Garland, 23 y/o Bennedict Mathurin, the No. 5 pick in the 2026 draft and a 2029 first-round pick.
They did pretty well for themselves!

@Sp4des4ndClubs @Carsobi I don’t think Clippers fans need more of a punishment then just being Clippers fans

@Jst_B_Easy1312 @LLevi_V @mistahrackzz Sure, there has been no HOF who never had anyone good at basketball on their team at any point in their career. But I think its pretty clear that Draymond has been much more fortunate that most when it comes to the teams he has played on.
English
@Jst_B_Easy1312 @LLevi_V @mistahrackzz I guess we have a low ball for incredible. Draymond having Steph, Klay, and KD around him and Jokic having Jamal Murray being in the same box of "playing with incredible talent" seems silly.
English
Dray keeps saying these inflammatory things that make it so easy for folks to devalue his career
Austin ain’t said one truth about his nba career yet here folks are, gassing it
Jamal Cristopher@JamCristopher
Austin rivers smoked it here. Said nothing but facts about draymond

@LLevi_V @mistahrackzz Name a HOF player that didn't benefit from playing with incredible talent

@Ricky190419124 @MissionVlyMafia @TooMuchMortons_ @Jolly_Olive Absolutely agree, just interesting given the overall drop in launch angle. Something to look at if no change is made throughout the year.
English
@JeffreyHuber69 @MissionVlyMafia @TooMuchMortons_ @Jolly_Olive He spent one season with the Rays. Don’t think we can draw to many conclusions from that
English
This situation has become truly bizarre.
Giannis Auntiegotapoodle@TooMuchMortons_
The rookie analysts will point to pre PEDs Tatis but I don’t give a fuck about that. I just want 2024 end of season Tatis back. In his last 26 games including playoffs he hit .324/.367/.735 with 11 bombs. He wasn’t scared to whiff. He was just high leg kicking and nuking balls.
English
@Ricky190419124 @MissionVlyMafia @TooMuchMortons_ @Jolly_Olive Not saying he definitely does or doesn’t, but interesting that he came from the Rays.
Eno Sarris@enosarris
The Rays, as a team, have the flattest swings in baseball. From what I've seen, having a flat bat path is good for hitting fastballs, decent for contact overall, not always the best for slugging, particularly down in the zone.

@TheWARmonger_ @PeterAppel23 @JustBB_Media @AramLeighton8 10/10 data visualization. Turns out I can’t read very well!
English
Appreciate the shout from the @JustBB_Media guys on their weekend recap podcast! If you don't already listen, it's in the very top tier of baseball podcasts. Weekend recap is a must, they're all good.
@PeterAppel23 and @AramLeighton8 asked for my breakdown, here are my theories on the Marsh BABIP:
1) Certainly some randomness involved, but 2000+ PA is a LOT. I was willing to consider it luck at 500 PA, that was a long time ago.
2) Always been heavily platoon-protected, minimal chances for bad contact by good lefties
3) Lefty and pretty quick, always an advantage
4) Doesn't care about strikeouts, still looking to do damage with two strikes ("just put it in play" isn't good for the old BABIP)
5) Lots of line drives, very few pop ups
6) Sprays the whole field and hits to all directions, even early in the count and on balls in the air. Always high "oppo air" rates
That's all I've got! Any other ideas?
English
@TheWARmonger_ @PeterAppel23 @JustBB_Media @AramLeighton8 What about Jorge Alfaro who has a .367 BABIP in 1749 PA?
English
Haha, thanks! I've been tweeting about it for years, and it is still going up.
The stat changes a lot based on qualifiers (I used 1900-), Jorge Alfaro is 3rd with 1500 PA!
Top 10 is funny, too. Basically the best hitters in baseball 100+ years ago and three incredibly random guys:
English
@TooMuchMortons_ How are his fastball shapes when hes not playing on the moon?
English
Misael Tamarez
This is my new reliever agenda in 15.1 IP at Hell on Earth he has a 2.35 ERA and 3.87 FIP. Sometimes he doesn’t know where his pitches are going but he sits 97 mph with a nice slider. That works for me.
Giannis Auntiegotapoodle@TooMuchMortons_
Misael Tamarez Could be just a 3 pitch guy instead of 6 and Statcast is misclassifying some pitches but main thing is he’s gone from a primary ≈58% fastball guy to a ≈59% breaking ball guy. Velo up across the board. Arm angle has gone from 37° to 48°. Look at the zone%, chase%, whiff%, xwOBACon rates. Did Preller do it again?
English
How can someone’s thesis be so blatantly incorrect and still get through the editing process

I illustrate why Statcast bat speed is a bad stat. nytimes.com/athletic/72407…

@breezyankles @MichaelSalfino He is just so factually wrong idk what to say.
r values of .31 and .39 respectively.

When asked about it an MLB spokesperson said the exact opposite of what you said.
English
Insane that neither the people running this account, nor the 3rd baseman, nor either of the guys in the booth know the rule.
The ball is a sphere. The line is fair territory, and so is the space above it. The side of the ball was in contact with fair territory. This isn’t tennis.
Talkin' Baseball@TalkinBaseball_
Home plate umpire Dan Merzel called the ball fair, giving Matt Shaw a single despite it appearing clearly foul
English
@JimA6to4to3 @DallasCroob This is confusing to me though, you admit that pitchers are trying to throw harder and spin it more than ever, but refuse to believe that they are actually succeeding at that goal? But also saying that them trying is what’s causing more injuries?
English
@DallasCroob Spencer Strider Broke. He still has good stuff, but he’s a perfect example of chasing Velo and trying to spin everything as fast as he can. I love the kid. Quadzilla, but pitchers are becoming very high risks! Watch Dodgers. Next # of years all their pitchers will break, IMO!
English
List of the "Velocity is fake" culprits on this app & their career numbers(in a time with lower velocity btw):
Jeff Frye - 91 OPS+
Matt Stark - 16 OPS+
Jason Michaels - 95 OPS+
Jim Anderson - 61 OPS+
Seth McClung - 80 ERA+
Doug Mientkiewicz - 100 OPS+
Gregg Zaun - 91 OPS+

@morepellent @RobertStock6 This interested me so I used 2025 arm angle data and checked the distributions and you do seem to see a bit of a skew towards lefties having a higher arm slot, but the average release points are very similar. 38.3° for lefties and 37.4° for righties.
English
@RobertStock6 That and just for whatever reason, left handed mechanics are more rotational. Like its true of left handed pitchers as well. Dont see many over the top lefties and once youre aware of it you cant not notice it. The whole which side of your brain controls what theory maybe.
English
1 - To take advantage of momentum leading you to first base LHH can follow through longer.
2 - In a “right-handed” world LHH likely have a better skilled lead arm, regardless of handedness.
3 - Camera angles
4 - Fewer at bats where you’re worried about a pitch hitting you in the face?

What’s the science behind lefty swings looking more appealing than righty swings
English
@dannybarrand_ @fxalipranti_ Not that it matters, but curious that his extension was down today. My guess would be using legs less trying to preserve energy with the elevation, but also he was averaging 102.8 so that doesn't seem correct.
English
@fxalipranti_ Elevation does genuinely horrific things to fastballs man

Hey Mason Miller, what do ya say? It’s gonna be a 8-inning day!
Again, who even needs strikeouts.

Since 2023 fernando has pulled 68 flyballs, 30 have turned into homers. He needs to get out in front of the ball more
English
@BaseballWRLD_ Are you really doing a victory lap because a platoon player hit a short porch home run after getting a spot start.

Luis Robert’s in the clubhouse wondering why everyone’s so upset.
Bob Nightengale@BNightengale
The New York Mets' Horror Show continues. They lose their 10th in a row, 4-2, to the Chicago Cubs. It's now their longest losing streak since 2004. They have been outscored 60-18 in this streak. They have the worst record in baseball, 7-14.
