I'm not watching, just lurking here... did we really do a suicide squeeze with McCann?
Safety squeeze.

Either way, hate bunting there, especially with 2 strikes.
He struck out last time with 2 strikes. I don’t hate the play.

Sounded like the challenge was that the catcher blocked the plate, not that he was safe. Neither KB nor JP picked up on it.
I heard that, too. Not sure that matters, though.

Really? Don’t even look remotely close. He missed by a foot.

They're gonna move the goalposts to having been not swept in 3 or 4 games series after they drop this game.
Nah. They’d be done talking about it. But they are gonna win.

Interesting. Never knew you had to keep going. I thought it was automatically called.

Not exactly his first game in RF. He’s been playing RF for years. Pretty sure he knows about slices and hooks.
Precisely. Which is why it was unacceptable.

Ump is brutal

It’s a challenge to do unless your parents are from another country and have family there. I’ve seen a few kids do this with families form DR. For someone with no ties to another country it would be super difficult and a pretty massive gamble.

Santanders muff in right just cost us 2 runs.
Pretty unacceptable not to know that ball would move left to right with a RH batter up. Terrible route.

Santander with yee Olde banana route.

My guess is that Sig has had this stuff for years.
I think it will be interesting to track players’ career arc on this stuff. You figure that players’ bats get slower as they age. But do they compensate with shorter swings? How does square up percentage change with age?
Now Fangraphs has something to do.
No doubt. It's been available to any recruiters or scouts through PG for close to 6 years now. Just go to the site and look through rankings of any player that's been in a showcase or played in a PG event. The better orgs have been using this data for at least 7+ years and likely a lot longer. Diamond Kinetics was founded in 2013 and I imagine progressive teams were using the tech shortly there after.
There is a direct correlation between bat speed and xwOBACON. It's not the end all be all, but it's ~40% of the equation (ability to square up balls "smash factor" and swing decisions being the other two components to hitting).

Because they don’t put as much stock in results as they do the probability of success of certain swing planes vs. certain pitching repertoire.
