It’s a proven fact that Ks don’t up pitch counts. You know what his pitch counts? Base runners. Hits and walks. If you pitch to contact, you increase the chances of a batted ball becoming a hit and then having to face more batters, which in turns increases the pitch count. -

I would love to see Trout on the Phillies. God, Harper and he on the same team - I can't hate on the Phils man, i feel like they are our cousins in vibes. -

I feel like I say this every game he pitches. Will be interesting to see if McCann catches tonight. -

I think this year there are more players reclassifying due to “weak” draft. The “experts” do not really love this class after first 10-15 picks. What is the leverage of the reclassified players? I would imagine they may have less leverage in negotiations. -

You're probably right, using the least-logical lineup possible in each and every game would cost you more like 2-3 wins.Especially if it's a non-DH league and you're constantly giving the pitchers the most PAs. -

Since 1901 16 teams have played at least .688 ball for a full season (non-COVID edition), and just 14 over a full season of at least 150 games. Over that same span 38 teams have played at least .688 ball over their first 60 games. 11 of those teams (including the 2020 Dodgers) didn't reach 100 wins on the season. Also, remember, there are some teams that won 111+ games and started worse than 42-18, so these aren't full subsets of the first group. For example, the 1906 Cubs, owner of the best record since 1900, started 41-19 and then got hot. The '22 Dodgers were 37-23 on their way to 111-51. The '26 Yanks started the year 43-17 and ended up 91-63 with Ruth and Gehrig in the lineup. As mentioned the 2022 Yanks were similar. The 1928 Yanks started 45-15 and went 56-38 the rest of the way. The '53 Yanks went 46-14 to start, and 53-38 the rest of the way. The best 60-game start ever was the 1912 Giants, who went 48-11-1, and 55-37 (.597) from then on out. I'd guess there's about an 80-90% chance the Yanks win less than 111 games this year.
