I think my main problem with the ABS system is when catchers make the appeal. You’re the one who screwed up framing it! You don’t get to complain

This is great. One of the best examples of this is a pitcher who happens to makes hi fastball run a little more when working, say, down and away from a lefty -- then cuts it slightly more when going down and away to a righty. Intent ends up mattering a lot.

Last year for @baseballprospectus.com I spent a lot of time thinking about the Colorado Rockies. Today I surveyed the 2025 season to figure out who will be this year's most forgotten, forgettable team.

Was beside myself with joy when they picked Brecht. Arm talent and powerful athleticism for days, and still so new to full-time pitching.

Also, this reminded me of the talks of a possible Brenton Doyle extension -- he's already 27.

The Red Sox were one of the teams that stood out when I wrote about PECOTA's dislikes a few weeks back. Their preview (courtesy of @cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com) is a great look at how difficult it is to project playing time. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Greatest second baseman ever. Also baffling how his broadcasting talking points were like the polar opposite of his strengths as a player.

Also super funny that its origin is just George Steinbrenner's personal tastes. You'd think it was scripture sent down by the Gods the way some people talk about the policy.

Bud Black makes me so angry. What is the point of this? Why say this kind of shit about one of your team's better prospects? Tell me that doesn't sound like a guy who's already made up his mind about how little Veen's gonna play, btw. Maybe that purple hair was offensive to him?

Justin Verlander with some bars for the people in charge.

Up on BP today, a look at Gerrit Cole and how he's been changing over the past few years. The 33% strikeout rate is no more, but the Yankee ace remains one. I find his journey from one style to another (PIT to HOU to '23-present) fascinating. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

The more I learn about the history of it all, the more Bud Selig being in the Hall of Fame rather than banished from the sport altogether befuddles me.

That one on the left cost a team a division title. Totally not still mad about it nearly seven years later.

There might actually be something to the notion that Elias doesn't wanna spend because it would open him up for criticism if the moves don't work.

Today our preview series turns to Minnesota, probably one of PECOTA's most controversial outputs. The team stopped trying this winter, but they had too much in place already to fail.

Would be beyond cool for the three preeminent aces of their generation to enter Cooperstown together. Need that to happen.

Up on BP, the 2025 season preview for the Colorado Rockies written by yours truly (and edited by @euqubud.baseballprospectus.com). Charts courtesy of our excellent team. In short, the Rockies could be something in a while. That won't help in 2025. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Granted, this was five years ago, but y.i.k.e.s. which was like ten years too late for the team to be acting like this anyway

whole piece is great, and i completely agree with this part. future pitcher analyses are going to have to be individualized, and @mariodelgadogenzor.bsky.social always does a terrific job at that. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Today, @baseballprospectus.com published its 30th and final team prospect list. I'm not a prospect writer but I read a lot of content. If you're in a league that requires you to know prospects, these lists are the best around. www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/ar...

For PECOTA Week: the projections dislike (some) of your teams -- featuring thin air, exasperating sailors and red stockings, among others. www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

I find it hilarious that the Rockies have damn near as many pitchers on their projected rotation who were also there back in 2018 (three; Márquez, Freeland, Senzatela) as the rest of league combined (Bieber, Nola, Mikolas, Kershaw if he gives it one more go... who else?).

I've been saying this too. Teams are too smart and the league itself too passive and reticent to hard changes for the game's own good. The closer baseball is to being "solved", the less fun it is. Introducing inefficiencies on purpose to keep the game fresh should be one of the league's main jobs.
