birdle

@jcalvinmeyer @editti22 he finally modernized his catching technique he almost never started with his glove in the dirt in prior years but now he finally is this year

Look at this frame from Adley Rutschman. Turns ball three into strike three. This season, Rutschman ranks in the 95th percentile in framing, per Baseball Savant.

The Pirates have committed no errors today. And that's why you ignore fielding percentage at all times, ever.

Gunnar Henderson 2023 - unanimous ROY winner, 6.1 WAR 2024 - 9.1 WAR 😳 2025 - played all season with a shoulder injury and still had a 5.3 WAR The amount of horrific takes on him by @TheAthleticMLB and just in general on this app is insane. Going to make many eat crow this yr

@CodifyBaseball i'm lowkey excited to see who is the best/worst with challenges lol

tbf even the batter knew 😂

Surely all 3 of these players are in the starting lineup in a must-win game

@CodifyBaseball SALARY CAP FLOOR

Completely fix baseball with three words.

@JeffSkversky @SpikeEskin it's baseball, money doesn't matter

@SpikeEskin Is he worth $30+ million more per year for his production?

Bo Bichette career stats per game vs Phillies 3B Alec Bohm #BoBichette has better numbers but it’s not drastic enough to justify the massive difference in money On top of that the New York Mets star was 1 of the worst SS in MLB last season for the Blue Jays

The infuriating part of this is 65% of baseball fans have felt this way for a long time but it didn't matter to baseball until Mets, Yankees & Red Sox fans felt this way too

@editti22 i see them as a team trying to save baseball by showing everyone the flaws in the system

I don’t buy that the Dodgers are ruining baseball, they’re not. They’re clearly the villains, ones that may be more powerful and hungry than the Yankees in the late 90s when they started signing everyone. This is just what the Dodgers do, they’re not a super team, they’re

The Kelce brothers had two very different opinions on this year’s World Series 😅

ONE STEP CLOSER TO A SALARY CAP AND FLOOR LETS GOOOOOO!!! #MLB #Dodgers #SAVEMLB

The Dodgers CRUSHING the Brewers is the best case scenario for MLB because this series will help to justify the need for a salary cap and floor in 2027. Baseball is broken! Prove me wrong!!

The ghost runner rule in the regular season is good and I don’t need to see a Wednesday night game in July lasting 18 innings at 3 AM

Major League Baseball will implement a challenge system for balls and strikes in the 2026 season after the league’s competition committee voted to usher in the era of robot umpiring. Teams will receive two challenges to dispute calls by the home-plate umpire.

MLB players will be able to challenge balls and strikes in 2026

BREAKING: Major League Baseball will use the Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System (ABS) during the entire 2026 season ABS CHALLENGE RULES: - Each team will get two challenges and can keep them if they're successful - Challenges can only be initiated by a pitcher, catcher, or batter, and the request must come right after the pitch - To signal a challenge, the pitcher, catcher, or batter will tap his hat or helmet to let the umpire know - No help from the dugout or other players on the field is allowed - In each extra inning, a team will be awarded a challenge if it has none remaining entering the inning The ABS Challenge System powered by T-Mobile 5G network uses cameras set up around the perimeter of the field to track the location of each pitch and a graphic on the scoreboard shows the result of the challenge

@jcalvinmeyer where are these numbers coming from? bWAR skubal: 6.5 rogers: 6.0 fWAR skubal: 6.4 rogers: 3.9

AL pitcher wins above average leaderboard: 1. Trevor Rogers — 5.1 2. Tarik Skubal — 4.9 3. Hunter Brown — 4.8 4. Garrett Crochet — 3.9

Welcome to Jewish Heritage Night!

@CodifyBaseball @GreekGodOfHops @RedSox @baseball_ref what’s his career WAR on 3-0 pitches?

Kevin Youkilis had 4,444 plate appearances in the big leagues and never once swung at a 3-0 pitch. It sounds completely crazy but I swear it's true.
