They better call Dairon, and tell him come on.

I haven't cut my hair since the day I got out of the Army, and let me tell you, it takes a hell of a lot more discipline to properly groom long hair than it does to maintain a Yankees haircut.

I'm still pissed at Dipoto for not trading Flexen away pre-2023 when he still had some shred of value. His metrics in 2022 showed some pretty clear overperformance and we had great arms coming up. Instead, they clung to him, DFA'd him later, and we missed the postseason by one game. Womp womp.

I love having Angie in the booth, and as much as I'll miss Dave Sims, the way they eased us into the other broadcasters was very well-executed.

Plus, at this point in the offseason, I'm jonesing so hard for baseball I'd tune in every day if the broadcasters were Bobcat Goldthwait and Fran Drescher.

Well, this fits too well with my last post for me not to watch it.

On an unrelated note, as a huge Mariners fan and general baseball nerd, I'm very much looking forward to your article about why you can't hit in Seattle, and I definitely won't care that it's stupid long.

Cheers!

Could he be good? Sure. Any away split is small sample. And he's been weirdly good in Oakland, even when they could pitch. But considering he'll be 31 this year, I would be very surprised if his going to the Mets wouldn't lead to the worst season of his career. 5/5

There are other parks good for righty pull hitters, and his stadium splits favor them. His Camden stats pre- and post-Walltimore: 1.148 OPS vs .752 OPS. I'm not saying he can ONLY hit in Houston. But Citi Field is bad for righties, and he won't have a feature to prop him up there. 4/5

Here's the spray chart for every homer he's hit, which so densely favors the boxes that it perfectly outlines left field in Houston. Your article only judges their influence by how many of those are only homers in 1 park of 30-- and he still ties for the league in those types of homers. 3/5

Yes, as seen here, Houston is an average hitting environment for righties in Breggy's career-- because it's average for H/OBP, weak/bad for 2B/3B, good for HR. Without the boxes, Houston's likely bad for righties, but they level it out, which is why I say the boxes prop up his home results. 2/5

I like your articles, but allow me to refute this one. I agree with the stats at a glance, but home/away splits are too general here. I was using the Crawford Boxes as a shorthand myself because of character count, so I'm guilty, too. But I'm AuDHD and my hyperfocus is baseball, so strap in. 1/5
