Just would love the unions to step in on this one in the name of player safety before we inevitably have to have other groups step in because of an errant line drive traumatizing 10,000 people just trying to have a nice day at the ballpark.

Final take of the night.
I love dogs. The potential downsides of a “bat dog” far outweigh whatever kind of entertainment value they provide.
All things considered, this is one of the less traumatic ways this whole bat dog thing can end if we decide to put a stop to it now.

The Dodgers fear Kendall George suffered a significant left knee injury on Monday night while trying to avoid the bat dog, per @TheAthletic. George ranks No. 9 in Los Angeles’ system. (🎥@ChadMoriyama)

And he didn’t even get his first career Win until this season!
7-1 with a 1.96 ERA in 11 starts.
0.96 WHIP and 4.19 strikeouts for every walk. Just great stuff.

I don’t know what the rest of this season has in store, but if the Reds find their way into October? They will owe a big fat thank you to Chase Burns. This season was on the verge, actually, it was just straight up collapsing, and he pulled it out of the gutter. The Reds were reeling for wins and their 23 year old ace delivered in every single time he took the ball this month. Quite literally season saving stuff.

@mikesell_dave (To be fair, I hear you. Sending a second tweet on a topic on here feels like the guy who’s talking for too long at the party.)

I enjoy Brantley but occasionally he seems much more interested in reminding you that he’s part of an exclusive company that knows things that you could never possibly understand instead of trying to find ways to educate the listener.
I think he’d be good at it too.

@RedsInFour 99% of things can be explained if you care to think or look into them. Unfortunately he doesn’t seem like the type to do this
English
@BrashFan I’m not sure if it’s something to be trained or parsed out, but I feel like it’s… something.
Only thought is that maybe it’s a bat path thing. Maybe specific bat paths are more likely to produce “ideal spray angles” for their launch angles?
English
@RedsInFour I'm still not sure what I think of opposite field groundballs. The results they get in a vacuum are good, but almost all of the hitters who hit a lot of opposite field groundballs are not good hitters. Probably because those hitter hit groundballs to all directions.
English
“Analytics” do say (pretty convincingly) that oppo groundballs and pulled flyballs are great ways to sustain your offense.
xStats don’t (and that’s what Cowboy has an issue with), but he has the microphone and nuance isn’t a thing anymore in society.
English
@RedsInFour And how long have you been posting about it while your favorite team has been up big all game?
English
@mikesell_dave He went on like a 5 minute diatribe lol, I’m not the one making too much of something here
English
@RedsInFour He educates every game, you're making too much of this.
English
@RedsInFour He gives you a lot more interesting insights than Lark. But he's in a mood tonight
English
And if your problem is with the way people talked about Ke’Bryan Hayes’ Hard Hit Rate and xwOBA… just say that.
English
I think a lot of the way people who think they “know analytics” talk about things xStats definitely don’t help anything.
But a lot of the “Brewers magic” and “good baseball” things can also be found in the numbers if you know where to look.
English
@queenCityReds There’s nothing he loves to complain about more than Chase Burns’ hypothetical innings limit in late-Spring.
English
@RedsInFour Apparently Cowboy because Chase Burns can’t throw more than 100 innings this year
English
…does anybody on this planet trust a single arm in the Reds bullpen more than they trust Chase Burns at ~90 pitches?
English
I’m not totally sure what happened to Dane Myers that would have caused him to get dropped in the order vLHP.
No need to get too cute with this stuff.
English
Well, the guy everyone was comfortable DFAing over the offseason who was very much promoted solely to be the 26th man on the roster isn’t the leadoff man, so cross that one off the list.

Oppo GBs and pullside FBs, Noelvi.
Seeing a lot of both lately.
