@InterTFC @CodifyBaseball It's just the opposite. Guys want to risk blowing their arm out so they can max out their velocity and increase their chances of advancing through the minors to make it to the big leagues.

@ColVanderLoon @CodifyBaseball I would make it 5. Teams are going to take advantage of the rules and more and more of them are now going with an "opener" and then a "bulk" pitcher rather than starters who an actually throw innings. Some teams barely have a pitcher who even qualifies for the ERA title anymore.
English
@CodifyBaseball We need a rule where the starter goes 6-innings (or 100 pitches), or else you lose the DH for the rest of the game.
English
@EMag_7 @CodifyBaseball @Buster_ESPN Yet despite the hitting analytics, batting averages are lower than ever. The analytics has helped guys hit more homers, but it hasn't helped guys make more consistent contact.
English
@CodifyBaseball @Buster_ESPN Even if the modern arm COULD go 7 innings regularly, seeing hitters a 3rd time is harder than ever. Analytics/scouting reports help hitters more than pitchers, Trajekt Arc, the ban on sticky stuff, banning extreme shifts. Every rule/advancement in baseball is tailored to offense.
English
@BigRedSamShow @CodifyBaseball @Buster_ESPN And Skubal himself has an ERA a little over 3.00 so far this year but is not even average 5 innings per start.
English
@CodifyBaseball @Buster_ESPN This why Skubal is not worth $250M (or 1/8 the value of the franchise. It’s not that he isn’t the best pitcher in baseball, he is). But the best of the best don’t mean team wins like they used to. I mean…obviously ↑
English
@TimothyRoot11 @CodifyBaseball I hate it. I saw a highlight recently of a team's pitchers celebrating after throwing a combined no-hitter. There were four or five pitchers involved. Maybe it's just me but a combined no-hitter doesn't thrill me at all.
English
@CodifyBaseball I hate baseball now. Guy can have a one hitter or even no hitter going and they just yank him.
English
@Vic_Issitudes @CodifyBaseball Maddux was consistently in the mid 90s for his first few MLB seasons.
English
@CodifyBaseball The high spin rate / max effort pitching kills arms quickly. Greg Maddux doesn't even get drafted in today's MLB.
English
So far in 2026, MLB is at an all-time low in starters going at least 7 innings per start. Pathetic. 2016 was the last season where at least 20% of starters went 7+ innings. #MLB, please do something. The push for pitchers to throw with more and more velocity is the cause for this AND for the plethora of injuries these guys are experiencing. It's not good for the long run for the game.

Kegham Balian@kbalian90
BREAKING: Israeli Police have released footage of the French nun who was violently assaulted by a 36-year-old Jewish extremist in front of the cenacle on Mount Zion.

Since the trade last year, Raffy is not doing so well for the Giants. He's 103 for 449 (.229) with 22 homers, 19 doubles, 61 RBI, 60 runs scored, 62 walks, and 153 Ks. #RedSox
English
@TheModerateCase @jenniferervin See John 8:58. He told the Jews he was "I Am", which was what God told the Israelites was his name in the Old Testament. The Jews understood what he was saying and took up stones to stone him for blasphemy. He absolutely called himself God.
English
@jenniferervin I agree he is, but he never says explicitly “I am God.”
This is what the OP was arguing: because Candace has never explicitly said Erika killed Charlie, she hasn’t implied it or reached that conclusion, when she definitely has.
English
Jesus never says, “I am God,” in the Bible. But you have a Bible verse in your bio, so I can only assume you believe Jesus is God.
Does someone have to say something verbatim, exactly the way you demand, for their overall point and conclusion to be clear?
Merissa Hansen@merissahansen17
Candace Owens has never once said that Erika Kirk murdered her husband.
English
Until now, I have been hesitant to speak out against Craig Breslow as the GM of the #RedSox (I know, he's technically not the GM, but he's basically running the team, so...). He's double-down on dumb and made the Sox a laughingstock and a place where managers and players alike don't want to go. He needs to be shown and door. After him, it seems like the ownership has stopped giving a flip about the time. They need to sell to someone who does care.

@tylermilliken_ @ChrisCotillo So an option was used for Eaton for no reason?
English
Nate Eaton has been optioned back to Worcester, which should open up a spot for Jake Bennett tomorrow, per @ChrisCotillo.

@RealCandaceO Considering you've made millions off lies and defamation, it would be so sweet to see you go bankrupt.
English
I agree with this assessment. Trump is signaling that he wants France to be able to bankrupt podcasters. He hopes Brigitte wins tons of money.
Melania wants Jimmy Kimmel fired for a lame
Joke.
Erika is responding to Druski like he did anything other than mirror her own actions and words.
It’s speech they are coming for. They blame independent media for the mass awakening. We kept the Epstein story and the Charlie Kirk murder alive, when the deep state wanted both buried.
Matt Keefer@Matt_Keefer
We are moments away from a new constitutionalal amendment. It will strip free speech away and they will say its bc the 1st amendment didn't account for social media. It is obvious what "they" are doing. They are ramping up the crazy conspiracy podcasters and blaming everything on them. The stage is set. We just need 1 or 2 BIG false flags so they can feel comfortable enough implementing the new amendment to the constitution in the name of peace and safety.

Interesting #RedSox
Buster Olney@Buster_ESPN
One of the interesting theories about the struggling Red Sox offense in rival front offices is that Boston has been impacted significantly by the enforcement of the coaching boxes. The Red Sox were regarded by some other teams as being extraordinary at ascertaining grips/relaying pitch types to hitters -- and that advantage is now gone.
English
@TimTimmons951 @tylermilliken_ @alexspeier I think it's better said that he didn't care that Breslow would fire him rather than saying he dared him to. It's quite obvious by Cora's reaction to the firing that he didn't care and was "happy".
English
@tylermilliken_ @alexspeier So once again, Breslow was justified here.
He quite literally dared Breslow to fire him.
Cora thought he was the smartest person in every room he’s been in.
In reality, he was a garbage utility infielder no different than an IKF during his playing days & was a bad manager too.
English
When Craig Breslow raised the idea of staff changes to Alex Cora, which Breslow considered in 2025 and over the offseason, Cora said he’d have to fire him, per @alexspeier.

🚨 ERIKA KIRK: “Every morning I wake up to new headline lying about me. I have comedians dressing up in whiteface, I have people saying I'm not fit to be CEO, & I have Candace Owens claiming that I murdered my husband.”
“There is a serious epidemic of dehumanization plaguing our country.”
