Some of the things we've seen on defense this season, we fee like we've seen before.
It's not just Pete Crow-Armstrong (pictured), but also Wilyer Abreu, the Guardians and Gavin Williams, and the Dodgers

Dodgers turned 33 of 35 grounders & bunts into outs in their 3-game sweep of the Mets.
They lead the majors in Defensive Runs Saved and in how often they've turned a grounder/bunt into an out this season.
Most HR Robbing Catches - Last 2 seasons
Jackson Merrill 4
Fernando Tatis Jr. 4
Jo Adell 4
I just wrote our stat of the week on something like this
When do we get to the part where Carlos Beltrán hits a game-winning home run vs John Smoltz?

Poor Geraldo Pedromo!
First the WBC and now he can't seem to buy a hit ...
Our data tracking shows how often he's already been robbed of hits...

Today is the 40th anniversary of a baseball game that was out of the Twilight Zone, but (probably) turned into the plot of a Seinfeld episode
On the first loss of the season for the 1986 Mets

This was fun to help on
Thanks, @marksimon.bsky.social, for featuring Elaine. She is a gem and a wonderful leader. We ❤️ having her on the team.
that book and Lawrence O Donnell's book about 1968 are my two favorite political books (I don't read a lot of them, but I read some)
If you were still watching that rough Mets loss and heard Steve Gelbs talking about the Pirates parachuting parrot, you can read more about it in my super-geeky 1986 Mets newsletter

Destiny of the Republic the book was better than the miniseries on Netflix re: Garfield
"If the Pirates lose this game, I'll walk home."
"How much should we care about that? I can tell you that umpires care, I can tell you that there's some pitchers and catchers who care, but most people are just figuring this is the deal. We wanna live with it. And fans seem like they don't care..."

Had an awesome time talking ABS with @sportsinfosolutions.com and @marksimon.bsky.social! Check out the pod, and the rest of their work!
What kind of baseball game do you get when you combine Rod Serling, Jerry Seinfeld, Charlie Chaplin, Keith Hernandez & Steve Jeltz?
The kind of game that was played on April 12, 1986 that affects people in a deep & profound way
