Is Jackson Holliday's ice cold start one of the worst in history?
.071/.037/.108 is one of the most brutal lines I've ever seen for an everyday player.

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.

no i mean it is genuinely late, for the astros! a run that bad leaves you very little room for error

Do y'all understand the current Super 2 rules? I'm trying to figure out when prospects might be called up this year, but it seems like there's no set date and a lot depends on minor league service time.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 26 April 2024 20:21 (five months ago) link
think it's averaged out between all the players that get called up? something like that?
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 26 April 2024 20:30 (five months ago) link
“Super Two” players, or the two-year class “Super Two” players are those with service time among the top 22 percentile of those who’ve been in the league between two and three years. This often includes players with at least 130 days of service time, but not quite at 172 days, though it varies from year to year. If a player is determined to have Super Two status, they are eligible for arbitration after two years instead of the standard three. Super Two players, though, do not reach free agency any earlier. They are arbitration-eligible for four years instead of the standard three.
This offseason’s cutoff for Super Two arbitration eligibility has been set at two years and 118 days of service time, as Ronald Blum of the Associated Press reported on Friday. That is down from last winter’s cutoff, which was two years and 128 days.

Does "172 days" mean "172 games played in the majors" or "172 days on a roster"?
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 26 April 2024 20:39 (five months ago) link
172 days on the roster or IL.

Watching some of the Giants Pirates game & laughing at the SF fan who’s near one of the broadcast mics, like a third rowdy commentator in the box with Kruk & Kuip.Tyler Fitzgerald steps to the plateYOU GOT IT, TYLER BABYJung Hoo Lee refuses to swing at an outside pitchGREAT EYE, BABY!But! There’s also a Pirates fan near a mic, who keeps shouting LET’S GO PIRATES and calling UNDOOOOOO at strike calls. Amazing they haven’t muted them or moved away.
