Sometimes you look for lessons that the World Series winner’s play in the series can teach you about your own team, but I don’t think you can really teach “hit your flares and squibbers just hard enough in just these spots”

Oh god they’ve slopped Bob Uecker. Is there no floor to the depravity

Is Fox allowed to play Fontaines DC? I don’t think they can cosplay as that brand of cool

Watching Pablo Torre grow up from young sparkplug on Around the Horn to national investigative ass-kicker has been gloriously satisfying

The final boss of the Madden open world game is Bennet Omalu

I love the Control games. In the first I get to play through a liminal dream of the 1960s while hosing weird demonpeople with the gun from Trigun, and now in the second I get to button mash hack-and-slash while flying through the air, shooting fireballs, and use a trans-dimensional bo staff? C'mon

Please remember to politely remind those who’ll point to payrolls that this is a chalk World Series of the two top seeds. Politely. Gently.

Liking sports makes me feel bad a lot lately. Wish that would stop, if I'm honest

The offseason means it’s time to work on your stuff. Get in the pitching lab: www.sequencebaseball.com/app#pitchlab

What an absolute waxing

Kicking things off by hiring the fired Mets manager is NOT HELPING ME

I think the Brewers might just have It

Guards too! Also The Guards

Brewers/Rays, if it happens, would be the double-edged sword of poking a giant hole in the owners’ hard cap agenda AND probably be a pretty damn good series

Hey, don’t forget: LiveSeqer can show you what part of a pitch’s flight makes it look like it’s going to be a strike. Here’s one of the splitters Yamamoto threw to Bauers

Misiorowski very clearly had stuff decay last night (coming down from a high bar, of course). Heavy 2nd inning probably had an impact, Dodgers just couldn't close him out

That was good. I’d be down for 6 more of those

It’s wild that plays like that Chourio grounder get scored a hit instead of an error all the time, and yet the leaguewide batting average is still in the toilet

It isn’t as pretty as Gameday, but I’ve added a live pitch flight and zone plot to LiveSeqer. You can rotate the plot “camera“ to view pitch movement from any angle as it’s thrown: www.sequencebaseball.com

I've always wanted to have a digestible idea of what pitchers changed from one season to the next, and what made a difference positively or negatively. So now that report exists for every player, even if imperfect www.sequencebaseball.com/viz/pitch-de...

Braves fans booing Ronald Acuña is a nice salve for my sick, hardened heart

In slightly happier news, I have a new thing I’m tracking on Sequence. I call it Induced Swing Difference (ISD). More about it here: www.sequencebaseball.com/viz/isd

Largest LiveSeqer update yet goes live tonight. With some tweaks in, I expect the model will be about 45-47% accurate on guessing the exact pitch and 70% accurate on guessing pitch family given matchup, count, and base-out situation. So. We'll see!

It’s the offseason with lots of important things to discuss

The 5th season of Phillies Therapy coverage has ended. Its 5th full offseason begins. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Zack Wheeler’s season was remarkable after what he went through. I’m grateful for him
