I only got to watch bits and bobs off the game being at work, but it didn't look too bad? Stayed around the 96mph fb average at the start and started being more 95mph towards the end when I tuned in. Slider was still the bor.al wicked 92/93mph. You know something I don't?

All the top arms in Houston’s pen have gone sideways. It’s early and everything - but looked like the best pen in baseball going into the season. Hader, Abreu and Pressly ERAs are all north of 6.

Hader looked so bad last night the first thing I did this morning was see if he was injured.

When was the last time the Nats took a series in LA (other than the 2019 NLCS)?
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 18 April 2024 02:59 (five months ago) link
Two years ago. Nats-Dodgers is always fun. I was getting into baseball on the tail end of 2016 and that Dodgers-Nats NLDS was a big tipping point where I realised "oh hell yeah, this is sport"

I don't know who fangraph is pic.twitter.com/59VypfZNgQ— John Sterling Calls (@JSterlingCalls) August 31, 2020
i never listen to john sterling, but this is wack to me. i mean, not reading fangraphs, i get it, but to have never even heard of it, even though it's mentioned all the time in other publications, the writers often filter in and out between fangraphs and other sites, etc...it's like a geometry teacher rolling their eyes at this thing called calculators (does this mean the teacher doesn't know about calculus, or that they don't know about calculators? it depends on what you think of vikings in dreams...)

wait, you're telling me that if, in 998 out of 1000 scenarios we expect something to happen, that in 2 out of those 1000 scenarios something won't happen? *laughter*

Those were the only 2 that I could recall offhand and looking back they sure got a lot of grief for basically being Cody Bellinger:
KGjr: .584 OPS after 14 gamesSchmidt: .645 OPS after 17 games
I'm sure someone with better search skills could find "worst career MLB starts for notable players"...

Teams now are more likely to give young guys a leash especially if they’ve done everything they’re going to in the minors. Red Sox did it last year with Casas and Orioles with Henderson.
