@lukehtev @MiniMegal Ozzie hit .262 lol. When Pete is hitting .200 or lower….well….

WAR is now a defunct stat. No sane person who actually watches the games would still say PCA is as valuable as a guy like Turang
English
@TheWARmonger_ It feels like for every “WTF was that?” play that he makes positively he makes one negatively like this one. Obviously that isn’t true, but due to how much his gaffes get blown up compared to his great plays it feels like it.
English
I've always said he's terrible out there...
Jomboy Media@JomboyMedia
The ball gets away from Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Brewers get a little league home run!
English
@SamHuseby @TheWARmonger_ Uh, PCA has already been worth 2.2 bWAR/3.0 fWAR.
English
@TheWARmonger_ man it has been a rough year for him, all jokes aside
English
Given that my notifications were absolutely nuked from this one, I'm happy to share this is an 80% ball from Statcast. If that holds, PCA will drop .80 OAA.
I can officially confirm this was not a good play. There you have it.
Justin@SoxSideJustin
Twitter is about to crash with how many people are going to post PCA dropping this fly ball.

@CookedByJaguar So what you're saying is that the Cubs get a lot of runners on base.
That is your point, right?

🚨Jack Kimble with the most entitled threat in Congress:
“We only make $174k for 140 days of work… pay us more or we’ll leave and you’ll be stuck with idiots.”
Arrogant, entitled POS…you already get:
$174,000 base salary
$2,700+ per month in Meals & Incidentals (food stipend) when traveling
Car allowances / leasing
And Gold-plated pensions, health benefits, stock trading slush funds, book deals, and speaking fees
The average American GRINDS 260+ days a year for a fraction of that, pays your salary with their taxes, and somehow doesn’t threaten the country like a whiny toddler when they don’t get a raise.
The real threat isn’t you leaving.
It’s that entitled clowns like YOU are still there in the first place, living better than the people you claim to serve!!!!
Stay. Quit. Rot in the private sector.
America will be just fine without another swamp parasite. 🤷🏻♀️
Rep. Jack Kimble@RepJackKimble
Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

@Charles25702593 @realcoachpipe @TheLucyShow1 "I didnt watch the video so I'm going to leave an unrelated comment"
English
@realcoachpipe @TheLucyShow1 No he’s not! I didn’t listen to video I’m just speaking from my own experiences he is definitely right! Good umps are just hard to find! Sorry for the misunderstanding! Geez!

It's no secret the Pulitzer Prize is not the best arbiter of journalistic excellence.
George Shay says the Pulitzer conferred to the Tribune for its coverage of Midway Blitz demonstrates the award is just meaningless.

@davidaxelrod Imagine if folks said the same thing about campaigns when Team Obama helped revolutionize the modern use of campaign data...

Remember when pitchers threw, batters hit and you kept a few key stats in your head and watched the damned games?!? Now we're all supposed to be a analytics nerds!!
Cubs Prospects - Bryan Smith@cubprospects
Cubs have massive upside in Kaleb Wing. Pitch shape data from last start: 4 sm up to 95.1 in velo, but more, up to 22 IVB (avg 19). Elite ride. Changeup generated 10 whiffs on 14 swings. 60/65 pitch already. Flashing 83-87 mph sliders with massive Max Meyer-ish vertical bite.
English
@MatthewLeeRosen "Pitch is a strike according to the rules. Ump called it wrong. But it was close, so it shouldn't be overturned."
Wut.
English
In this instance, less than 0.5% of the ball has actually touched zone. It does't seem justifiable to reverse the umpire's call. The ABS system calculates inches & surface data. I think the rules should be adjusted, so that 25% of the ball must be in the zone for a strike.
Matthew Lee Rosen@MatthewLeeRosen
Why is this a strike?
English
@Kmackburneracct @Michael_Cerami The Cubs have been one of the best baserunning teams in baseball. They just got beat by great defensive plays.
English
@Michael_Cerami Cubs have to be the only team that cant score from 2nd on a single and from 1st on a double.
English
I think this is true actually

@notgaetti @baseball_ref @CodifyBaseball @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @BigLeagueDigest @EmSheDoesIt @JLas43_ @OfficialMLBRFC @sondraa Derek Jeter would EASILY be the greatest player ever for 29/30 franchises. No question about it. He’s the greatest shortstop to ever play the game, but at best he’s the 3rd greatest Yankee ever (and probably its fairer to say he’s 5th or 6th among Yankees legends)
English
@RubenGallego Oh... i'm no Swalwell fan but was he found guilty congressman? Are you familiar with the law?
English
I’ve read the San Francisco Chronicle’s reporting and I take it seriously.
What is described is indefensible. Women who come forward with accounts like this deserve to be heard with respect, not questioned or dismissed.
I regret having come to his defense on social media prior to knowing all the information. I am equally as shocked and upset about what has transpired.
I am withdrawing my endorsement of Congressman Swalwell, effective immediately.
English
Good for the ref having the balls to make this call. SGA gets away with this A LOT. Big to call that on a last second shot.
English
@TheWARmonger_ There’s no way that’s an accurate catch probability. He ran 10 feet. Pretty routine
English
Pete Crow-Armstrong did it again yesterday, snagging this Mike Trout rocket that had a catch probability of just 35%.
Nobody makes plays look easier (so easy that many don't believe the numbers). Just check out how fast he's already moving when the camera gets to him, his brilliance is in the first second of the play into his top 1% speed.
English
@Bears4ever97 @JeffPassan LOL - tell me you know nothing about baseball without telling me.
English
@JeffPassan That is so fucking crazy of an overpay it’s hilarious. “Locking up the 28 year old” 😂 not one other team in the mlb would’ve offered him over 4 for 60 and that would be an overpay
English
Nico Hoerner’s deal with the Cubs is done and will be for six years and $141 million, sources tell ESPN. It’s the fourth-largest contract ever for a second baseman and locks up the 28-year-old into the 2030s. Defense, running, contact skill — Hoerner does everything well.

Excellent job by the investigators. My heart goes out to the heartbroken family of Sheridan Gorman. This sweet young Loyola freshman had a whole life ahead of her. Sheridan deserves justice. Let it begin this morning in the courtroom. Hold him. Prosecute him. Deport him to prison in El Salvador.

@bkbart80 @RepSummerLee PACs and Super PACs are not the same thing.
Good try though.
English
@RepSummerLee I could maybe agree with this in theory, but according to open secrets, 11% of your funding for the last election cycle came from PACs…
English
Earlier this week, I made a post that rightfully made some people upset.
After careful consideration, I decided to delete it.
I want to address it and explain. 🧵

@Rickybobby333 @FrankCalabrese LOL - how'd this work out for you?

@FrankCalabrese doesn’t matter the cake is in the oven. the Biss controversy will cost him votes and he already is behind in his own backyard of Evanston.

M3 Strategies did a text poll of 550 verified IL09 voters who already voted early or by mail...

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this amazing journey. This is a district of fighters, a district of believers, a district of progressive Democrats who know that we can never back down from Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies.
