@StratOMatic Ivan Herrera’s arm rating.

We're entering the final hour of the #stratratings2025 ratings preview. Anyone else you'd like to see before we go?

@StratOMatic #stratratings2025 How about a Missouri twofer? Superstar Maikel Garcia and Ivan Herrera (throwing arm).

Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions -- we'll be getting started with our first rating in about ten minutes. Make sure you're using the hashtag #stratratings2025 to keep up!

@StratOMatic How about deviating from the obvious tomorrow? Let’s see ratings for Joey Ortiz #stratratings2024

@lpoyser39 Are you young enough to be a candidate, Lucas?

Showing that you don’t need any type of positive track record to get the job!

@notgaetti @Alscoop16 Pure hitter.

Not enough people talk about Al Oliver: • 7x AS, 3x SS, WS Champ, Batting Title • More WAR than Oliva, Wilson, Baines • More 2B than Mays, Williams, Ruth • 1326 RBI would be 67th-most in HOF • 200+ H 2x, .320+ BA 5x, just 52 K/162 • Hit the hardest live drives in MLB history according to the great HOF'er Joe Morgan Somehow, he was a one-and-done on his only HOF ballot (4.3% of the vote in 1991). An injustice!

@chrismb66 @StratOMatic Await my comment when I post today’s list to the league site.

@StratOMatic If he played for Kansas City, no one would care. But he plays for the Yankees so he is already a hall of famer.

People seem to like this Anthony Volpe guy on the @Yankees... We do too, giving the Gold Glover a 2 for his first Strat card #stratratings2023 @Volpe_Anthony #RepBX

@StratOMatic How about a little bonus love for @spenc__er (Spencer Steer)? #stratratings2023

@CZaina32 @StratOMatic @Pirates Ditto

@StratOMatic @Pirates Arm?

Jack Suwinski swung his way into @Pirates fans hearts, but you might need to consider him in left and right, where he gets a 3, rather than his main position of CF, where he pulls a 4 (3 basic). #stratratings2023 #LetsGoBucs

@StratOMatic @Royals unheralded rookie Maikel Garcia, please

It's almost time for the annual Ratings Previews, we'll be on X (formerly Twitter) at 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT with our first reveal! We'll do one player per team today and tomorrow, with a few bonuses mixed in. Suggestions welcome!

@cbssaturday I’m watching the Benjamin O. Davis piece and amazed that you did not reference the 1995 Tuskegee Airmen movie in which Benjamin O. Davis WAS clearly identified and played by Andre Braugher.

@robneyer Ah. I understand. I love their coffee. It’s my go-to (along with Cathedral) when visiting my granddaughter.

@drmawson I’ve been! Decided at some point that I wouldn’t count places without indoor seating.

I'm sure you'll all be thrilled with the news that today I finally visited my 200th Portland coffee shop. If I were starting over I'm sure I'd build the system differently, but I've stuck with the original: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@CleGuardians Will he be living in a van down by the lake?

It's a youth movement and Vogter knows exactly what he signed up for. We're ready to run through a brick wall for this man. #ForTheLand

@UmpireAuditor If Hoberg and Porter aren’t there, it ain’t legit

@UmpireAuditor Last year’s crew was infinitely better.

*** World Series Umpires Announced *** Game 1: D.J. Reyburn (ranked 75th of 92) Game 2: Quinn Wolcott (1st) Game 3: Alfonso Márquez (77th) Game 4: David Rackley (68th) Game 5: Brian Knight (33rd) Game 6: Vic Carapazza (60th) Game 7: Crew chief, Bill Miller (53rd)

@mleccese @heybriandawson OK. Could they beat the Deadliners, though.

#RIP One of the all-time greats

@JoshJacksonMiLB @robneyer @PortlandSeaDogs Take a bow, New England.

@Super70sSports Circle it.

The only major league pitcher born after 1900 to win a game in both his teens and his 40s.

@Jared_Carrabis Dipwad.

Stephen A. Smith hating on Shohei Ohtani for no reason is my new favorite bit. I fell for it last summer, but now I can appreciate it as a great bit.

You have to see the bunt play in the bottom of the 5th in the Mets-Marlins game. … Please remind me this is Major League Baseball.
