@ScoringChanges People are commenting on how baseball SHOULD be scored, not on how it IS scored. Baseball scorers will watch two fielders allow an easily catchable ball to fall between and score it a hit. Everyone else knows that is nonsense.

MLB Scoring Changes
MLB Scoring Changes@ScoringChanges·
While I get folks like to use catch probability, it is NEVER used as a tool be scorers. It’s not based on anything regarding a mechanical misplay by a fielder, and catch probability gets recalibrated well after the game. The in-game isn’t “accurate”, although I’d argue it’s not accurate at all as it’s a made-up type of thing.

Left: 95% catch probability, outfielder jump 4 feet worse than MLB average Right: 95% catch probability, outfielder jump 26 feet worse than MLB average

@ScoringChanges Not an obvious hit at all. The left fielder was not running to make the catch because he thought the SS had it. An easily catchable ball with a proper read on the ball by the appropriate defender. Only an “obvious hit” if it is acceptable for a defender not to get to the ball.

Pete Hoekstra is the United States Ambassador to Canada. A man appointed specifically to understand Canada. Whose entire job, when distilled to its essence, is to comprehend why Canadians feel the way they do about the country directly to their south – the country that just slapped tariffs on their exports, questioned their sovereignty, and suggested they might want to consider becoming the 51st state. And when a journalist asks him, with admirable patience, whether he understands where that frustration is coming from, he doesn’t say “it’s complicated.” He doesn’t say “we have work to do.” He says, with the serene confidence of a man who has never once been troubled by self-awareness: “Absolutely, no.” Absolutely. No. Not just no. He reached into the English language and found the one adverb that makes the answer worse. This is a diplomat. This is America’s official representative to a nation of 40 million people who are currently being economically strong-armed by his boss. His job – his only job – is to understand Canadians. And he has looked that job squarely in the face and said: not today. You genuinely could not find a better summary of current American foreign policy if you wrote it yourself.

Pete Hoekstra: You've got folks who are doing everything they can to get the Canadian public to rally against America. Just doesn't make any sense. Radio-Canada: But do you understand where that frustration is coming from? Hoekstra: Absolutely, no.

@JLew1050 I also think it is insane that 3 centers can be on the first “team”. Because Chet Holgrem, Wemby and Gobert could all play on the floor at the same time.

Scottie Barnes has made NBA All-D for the 1st time in his career, but despite finishing 5th in Defensive Player of the Year voting, he was snubbed from the All-Defensive 1st Team and selected to the 2nd Team. Derrick White, who finished 6th in DPOY voting, bumped him on 1st Team

Legendary Royals closer Dan Quisenberry, rest his soul, would be proud to see this happening
Not Gaetti@notgaetti

Not enough people talk about Dan Quisenberry: • 244 Saves, 2.76 ERA, 1.175 WHIP • Led league in saves 5x in 6 years • Top-3 in CYA voting 4 straight years • 5x Rolaids Relief award winner • 1985 WS Champ with Kansas City • Almost same WAR & IP as Hoffman Somehow, Quiz received just 3.8% of the vote on his only HOF ballot appearance in 1996. An injustice!

$6.25M for 5 years after this one for a 30 year old backup with an .870 SV% Vegas has ~ $13M in space with Pietrangelo on SELTIR. They have to sign Dorofeyev and only have 4 Dmen under contract No one should take Hill off their hands unless they’re being compensated handsomely

Frank Seravalli: Re Golden Knights: Adin Hill, we gave you a nice contract after helping us to a Stanley Cup, sir, we are launching you to another team; it's gonna happen, mark it down, almost stone cold guaranteed with the way Carter Hart's playing - Frankly Hockey (5/21)

@JGoldberg12 This is a tough one. I am debating whether he swings at the first pitch and grounds out softly or swings and misses three times in each at bat.

@Pete___Hughes The guy has had 58, 68 and 72 pt seasons, 550 pts in 950 games. He is miscast as a shutdown/#1 defenceman but consistently puts up points.

@MatchsticksCGY Flames should be willing to trade anyone who is outside the age range of when they expect to be back in the playoffs. Matta is definitely in that category.

I wonder if Maatta gets dealt this summer. There’s no pressing need to deal him from a CGY perspective but I wonder if his value may be as high as it’ll go with his hot finish plus the top pending UFA LD by GP are Ryan Shea and Logan Stanley. Perhaps teams call CGY on Maatta?

@mattdagley That would be a terrible place for a stadium. The airport is in the middle of nowhere. Successful stadiums are near transit and easy to get to.

@AverageFan_Z Maybe if Stenberg is still there. But he won’t be. But you can’t tell me Carels or Malholtra are that far ahead of Reid and Bjorck that you would miss out on three additional prospects taken around where Gridin went.
