Hey baseball writers! Don't want to see Miguel Cabrera retire? Well, if he finishes top 10 in the MVP voting his option for 2024 automatically vests. You know what to do.

It's insane that if you try to find the best 17 game stretch of CC Sabathia's career, any 17 game stretch including crossing seasons, time before or after trades, any hot stretches, etc. The 17 games with the Brewers is exactly the best 17 game stretch of his career.

Such a dumb argument to begin with. Good hitters capitalize on mistake pitches. Most plate appearances have a mistake pitch... most plate appearances do not have a home run.

@SportsTalkATL Ohtani has 21.5% more PA, which even if they are identical with the bat that would explain an additional 0.3 WAR for Ohtani. Then you factor in Ohtani is 61 points of OPS higher and is way better at baserunning and that explains the other 0.7 WAR.

Some one just told me FIP is imaginary because it "measures what a pitchers ERA would look like if he had a league average of other stats." Then ERA is imaginary because it calculates what a pitchers runs against would look like if his fielders didn't make errors.

A pitcher having their fastball speed vary by 3 mph during a game is considered a wide spread... varying by, at a minimum, 13.2 mph is unheard of. It's much more likely that the mechanism measuring the speed and calibration of the machine were extremely imprecise.
