We really want #MNTwins fans to enjoy their Sunday, but we're just here to report the facts. @Matt_Wallner drills a 109.4 mph double to right-center that scores a run. Lead 1-0 going to bottom 1. Now 10-22 (.455) with 3 2B, 3B, 3 HR, and 9 RBI since returning to Saints

Concerning @MLB removing a relocation fee the @Athletics would pay for moving to Las Vegas - consultant Jeremy Aguero told the #NVLeg Commissioner Manfred said it could only be waived with a "public-private partnership" - i.e., approving the $380M in public financing.

The Athletic spent the last week interviewing NFL players around the league to ask what they know about the league’s gambling policy and found that four of the five players didn’t know they couldn’t place mobile bets on other sports while at work, the violation Williams and Berryhill were suspended for.
“I had no idea,” said a free agent with seven years of NFL experience. “I don’t think any player knows about that. That’s so specific. If players know about that, kudos to them.”
All five players knew they couldn’t bet on NFL action, but the rest of the details, the majority weren’t so sure about. Two of the five said that they have placed bets on other sports using mobile apps during their NFL careers.
“I thought that you couldn’t bet on anything during the NFL season,” said a nine-year NFL vet (in an incorrect reading of the NFL’s gambling policy). “I didn’t really look into it beyond that.”
“I don’t even know what the rule is, or when the rule changed or the fine print on what you can or can’t gamble on,” said a 10-year veteran.
The #Colts have signed veteran WR Breshad Perriman.

Scary Fact -- The Rangers have scored 376 runs in 58 games for a 6.48 RPG average. Extrapolated across 162 games, that comes to 1050 total runs scored on the season

A realistic look at getting to the ASB w/o Manoah..
44 votes and 44 comments so far on Reddit
Sunday morning #BlueJays ⚾️🧵on the most ridiculous thing I've read this off-season: Alek Manoah's 2023 projections.
Let's start here: If he has an ERA over 4.00 by September 1st, I'll shave all the beautiful salt & pepper hair off my head.
216
Manoah 2021-22:
25-9, .735 win%, 2.60 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 0.8 HR/9
2023 Projected:
12-11, .522 win%, 4.09 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 1.3 HR/9
You have to go back nearly 80 years to find a dude who had a sub-3 ERA before his age-25 season all of a sudden go above 4.00 in the age-25 campaign.
Manoah's WHIP is the best by anyone up to their age-24 season.
To find someone with a WHIP below 1.10 in that time frame, all of a sudden balloon up by 20-25%? Have to go back more than 50 years.
Ks were down last year & the numbers are saying, "I'm not sure how someone who doesn't strike out that many people can keep suppressing HRs" but Manoah is just different.
He's had one of the best first two seasons of a career as nearly anyone over the last couple generations.
But as those videos above show... his fastball is dominant:
Best Righty Fastball by Run Value
Last 10 Years
Cole ('19) -38
Verlander ('18) -35
Verlander ('17), Lynn ('19) -32
Arrieta ('16) -31
Flaherty ('19) -30
Scherzer ('18) -29
Cole ('18) -28
Lynn ('14) -27
Manoah ('22) -26
So anyways, I guess what I'm saying is, I understand the reasons behind why a regression might be believed to be coming... but it doesn't take into account how much of a unicorn Manoah is, how well he understands pitching, and how uncomfortable it is to face him.
Let's follow this all year long.
And please people, remind me if it's getting to late September & I might have to shave my head. Want to emotionally prepare my wife.
Let's gooooo @Alek_Manoah6...
Prove those computers wrong!

Nick Frasso so far in AA:
8GS, 30IP, 12.3 K/9, 2.1 BB/9, 51.6 GB%, 0.9 ERA, 1.89 FIP, 2.6 xFIP

#BlueJays ⚾️🧵 Bo Bichette vs Astros
Did one of these earlier this season (below, heavy fastball usage), but I only had one piece of the story...
I think I've got it all now and it's less about usage... more about location, location, location.
And that location is away.
Let's start here: Since 2021, no team has worked Bichette away more than Houston. Fastballs away (& frequently up), breaking balls even further away
It's so drastic, it must be a a game plan
Outer Half Pitches to Bichette - Last 3 Seasons
HOU 76%
OAK 66%
TB 65%
CLE 63%
MIL 61%
Astros are trying to change that path, change where Bo is initially looking, to open up that chase vs breakers away.
And it's worked. I know Astros are just a good pitching team overall, but Bo has success vs lots of good staffs. And no team other than HOU pitches him like this.
And he did that a couple times earlier this year! (see below)
But this will be a challenge.
The Astros have realized what is counter-intuitive to most people: To have success against the most prolific opposite-field hitter in baseball, you have to work the outside corner!

Looking at Spencer Torkelson’s baseball savant page, I’d never expect him to only have an OPS of .665 & only 5HR’s in 58 games. Can someone help me understand how even after this many games, the “bad luck” is still there?

STADIUM BILL LIVES?
A key negotiator says there is work being done to bring back the ballpark bill.
Everyone awaits the Governor’s special session agenda— but Speaker Yeager’s office already stated that a ballpark/movie studio bill will not be included in the session. @FOX5Vegas
The Governor’s office can call for a special session and outlines his legislative agenda. The speaker and senate majority leader are responsible for putting forth legislation. They can decide what gets heard or not.
Jacob deGrom will have three years and $115 million left on his 5-year, $185 million contract when he’s expected to return in 2025
1064
DeGrom in 2019: 32 GS, 204.0 IP, 2.43 ERA, 255 K, 218 ERA+, 1.98 FIP | 2021-2023: 32 GS, 186.2 IP, 2.03 ERA, 293 K, 199 ERA+, 1.60 FIP
One of the most disappointing parts of watching deGrom suffer through injury shortened seasons is that the last 3 seasons (all shortened due to injury) have cumulatively been right in line with his last full healthy season with the Mets. This isn’t a guy who’s falling apart as a pitcher due to injury - all of the brilliance is still there; he just can’t make the starts anymore.
Really hoping a coach works with him to tune his game and his delivery to something more sustainable. Since his first TJ in 2010, he avoided major injury until 2021. What’s changed?
deGrom through tears: "This stinks. It's not ideal. But at least we know what it is now. I want to get it fixed and will set a goal to be back before the end of next year.:"
He will undergo surgery next week
2984

To clarify: Full extent of surgery will be determined once Dr Keith Meister gets inside of elbow. For now: Ligament repair. That doesn’t rule out something like an internal brace. Either way: Out at least 12 months

The Detroit Tigers can make an entire starting rotation and outfield + DH using only players currently on the IL

SP5: Alex Faedo (Finger; 15-Day IL. 5.54 career and 2023 ERA)
Alternatively, SPs Spencer Turnbull (neck; 15-Day IL. 4.55 career ERA, 7.26 ERA in 2023) or Beau Brieske (elbow; 60-Day IL. 4.19 career and 2022 ERA) could be used as SP5

Ha-Seong Kim has accumulated 2.8 bWAR/1.7 fWAR in 56 games, putting him on pace for a 7.5 bWAR/4.6 fWAR season if he plays 150 games and continues to produce at the same level
He’s always been a fan favorite in SD, but is he starting to establish himself as one of the best infielders in the league? Contact-based peripherals still hate him but his defense and plate discipline are so good that he’ll likely be able to put up 4-5 WAR every year for the foreseeable future

Chris Bassitt on Alek Manoah optioned to FCL:
“First and foremost, I think his maturity through the struggles has been really under looked.. how he's handled himself on and off the field is really admirable.. So I really wanted to say that first and foremost.”
#BlueJays

There’s no timeline for how long Alek Manoah will remain in minors per John Schneider. When he’s ready he’s ready. First step will be a kind of intake bullpen session in Fla. where Jays assess Manoah physically & mechanically. Then plan would be games… and we’ll see from there.
285
Saturday’s starter remains TBD. Bowden Francis & Trevor Richards look like candidates to contribute. Jays likely to look outside org as well.
Off days in June help. Schneider didn’t say whether Jays would consider 4-man rotation for a bit so maybe it’s not totally off table

“I don’t think there’s a special teams coach in the league – in fact, I know there’s not a special teams coach in the league right now that likes the rule,” said Rizzi – who stressed that opinion is based on research and not a refusal to adapt.
Add Saints’ Darren Rizzi – a longtime NFL special teams coordinator – to the overwhelming list of head coaches, special teams coaches and players criticizing the NFL’s new fair-catch touchback rule on kickoffs.
131
Rizzi has been part of advisory committee to make kicking plays safer since 2018. But while committee has supported several rule changes in recent years, they don’t see evidence this will work - and fear unintended consequences like "uglier," more chaotic play on squib kicks etc.
“I don’t think there’s a special teams coach in the league – in fact, I know there’s not a special teams coach in the league right now that likes the rule,” said Rizzi – who stressed that opinion is based on research and not a refusal to adapt.
“We as coaches, the most important thing is the health and safety of the players. I think there was this false narrative being thrown around that the coaches didn’t want it because it was gonna be less returns (etc.) The last thing any coach wants is to lose a player to injury.”
Rizzi said committee suggested considering other changes – like moving kickoff back to 20 to create more space. But biggest issue is tacklers and blockers leading with head. "We’ve gotta do a better job as coaches teaching that – and we’ve gotta do a better job officiating it.”
The rule (on 1-year trial basis) allows returners to fair catch kickoffs and get the ball at the 25, like in college. One downside is that muffed returns can't be advanced. So Rizzi said he doesn't expect many teams (including Saints) to use the option.
Bills signed former Vikings’ CB Cameron Dantzler to a one-year deal.

The Houston Oilers' former stadium, Astrodome, was condemned in 2009 but cannot be demolished due to a state historical designation.
The Astrodome was condemned by the City of Houston in 2009 and does not have a working HVAC system or plumbing, according to Walsh, and a series of ideas to refurbish and repurpose the building since that time have not come to fruition.
[...]
A plan to resurrect the Astrodome also would need the support of the NFL's Houston Texans and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, which are NRG Park's primary tenants. Tearing down the mostly revered domed stadium – an idea for which many Houstonians have expressed support over the years – is off the table after the Astrodome received a state historical designation a few years ago that largely protects it from being demolished or significantly altered.
MLB wins over the past 20 years
Had to go back 19 years to find a Twins playoff victory. Somehow, the Angels have the 6th best record over the past 20 years, currently have the 2 best players in the game, and had the best record in baseball twice, yet they have zero pennants and just 10 playoff wins over that span. Remarkable parity overall, though.

Last year, as senators threatened to revoke MLB's antitrust exemption amid outrage over minor league salaries, Rob Manfred told me the only "really meaningful" use of the exemption was in keeping teams from moving.
Oakland Rep. Barbara Lee just reminded Manfred of that:

Ryan Noda made a super cool catch
Mike Trout is hitting .255/.338/.454 (.792 OPS) in his last 50 games. It's the first time he's had a sub-.800 OPS in a 50-game span since 2014
We're seeing an extremely rare run of non-elite hitting from this generation's GOAT.
That said, Trout's underlying metrics continue to look extremely strong. So I would not bet against him heating up soon.
Elly De La Cruz will play SS for the first time in the big leagues today. This should be fun. #Reds @WCPO

No MLB batter in the entire Statcast era has hit a pitch so high so hard. It just doesn't happen (well, until yesterday).
This pitch is over 4 feet high.
Elly De La Cruz hit it at 112 MPH for a double.
Totally and completely insane.

Despite having 7 more wins, and over 100 point advantage in winning %, the White Sox are les than half the games back of their division leader than the Blue Jays are
Danny Jansen (groin) running the bases went well today, per #BlueJays manager John Schneider. He’s likely to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Friday and if all goes well, he can rejoin the team in Baltimore next week
Alek Manoah is expected to report to Florida on Friday, per Schneider. He has 72 hours after the option, per the rules

#BlueJays ⚾️🧵
Daulton Varsho Hot Streak
What is (& isn't) happening at the plate? Is it sustainable? And drilling down on chase rate.
Let's start here: .849 OPS, 5 HR, 10 RBI, 11 R, 5 K in 62 PA over last 15 GP
It looks like things have slowed down between the ears for Varsho
162
Why do I say that? It seemed like Varsho was jumping at pitches, especially early in counts or when he was ahead in counts.
Consider: before this hot stretch, Varsho was chasing pre 2-strike counts 28% of the time (among highest Jays).... that's dropped to 16% last 15 games.
Pre 2-Strike Chase Rate
Since May 22
Belt 3% (lol)
Biggio 10%
Varsho 16%
Springer 19%
Chapman 21%
Vlad 25%
KK 26%
Kirk 28%
Merrifield 32%
Bo 32%
I find looking at pre-2 strike swing decisions to be helpful so often!
I know some people kinda roll their eyes at the term "swing decisions," but really, it's just about maximizing your chances at being successful.
Here are some real, tangible examples of how improved swing decisions led to success for Varsho:
- Walk vs Zach Eflin
I was producing in Tampa & remember thinking how calm Varsho looked in that PA. Every one of those pitches was within one ball-width of the edge of the strike zone. Love the take on the strike. It was a well-located pitch! Don't swing on a pitcher's pitch if you don't have to!
- HR vs Hunter Brown
1st - take on breaker in dirt
2nd - good take on slider/cutter in
3rd - good hack on mid-mid fastball
4th - good hack on slider/cutter hanging top of zone
5th - great swing on a changeup
Quality takes early give Varsho opportunity to see 3 more pitches.
- HR vs Brigham
1st - lays off high fastball
2nd - lays off up & in
3rd - lays off down & away
4th - demolishes
- 2B vs Devin Williams
1st - lays off FB up (man, lots of people working him up there)
2nd - lays off changeup down
3rd - changeup is a touch higher, and pulls down line.
2 numbers/notes that stand out as it relates to Varsho hot streak:
-
Before this stretch, 35% of the pitches he saw were in a 2-strike count... that's dropped to 21% over the last 15 games
-
In Varsho's career, he has a 1.077 OPS when ahead in the count, .515 when behind.
Varsho is now on a 10 game hitting streak
He has a .290 BA and .957 OPS in that span, with 4 homers. His Ops+ on the season is now 93.
Varsho's streak is one of only 3 active in the majors of at least 10 games, alongside Wander Franco (10) and Marcus Semien (25).
