For the decade spanning 1997-2006, the *average* season for Carlos Delgado was:

37 HR
116 RBI
.287/.397/.571
.969 OPS
148 OPS+
4.2 bWAR

Delgado has been overlooked by HoF voters before but he has a real case for Cooperstown. One of eight players being considered for HoF entry today.

Daulton Varsho Was Everywhere
I’ll give Varsho one of the highest compliments I can pay an athlete: He was a total pest. A menace.

Because this World Series wasn't stressful enough already, let's play a seventh game.

For years I thought criticism of Luis Rivera was, like any 3B coach criticism, mostly nonsense. But Carlos Febles being an absolute boss this season has made it clear how wrong I was.

or more times through.

Compare that to some of today's top stars:

Soto .3%
Vlad .3%
Judge .4%
Schwarber .6%

Compared to Mantle, that's like 1000 fewer PA against tired SP in the most vulnerable spots. Instead: endlessly flame-throwing RP.

I think people get tired of how much "best ever this" or "greatest ever that" gets thrown around

but if you're the only SP ever to have the best K% and lowest BB% in a season, you're having one of the best pitching seasons of all time.
Tarik Skubal has the highest strikeouts per nine innings and lowest walks per nine innings in MLB this season

No pitcher has finished a season leading qualified pitchers in both

(the concept of qualifying for pitchers begins 1912 in NL, 1913 in AL when ER and thus ERA official)

“I had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?” Bishop Mariann Budde explained. “Was anyone going to say anything about the turn the country’s taking?”

So, she took a breath, and spoke.
