If you would instead write "somehow please DFA him" we might get a double play. I'd rather have him DFA'd than a double play. A DFA lasts forever.

Please DFA him.

The Chili Davis Game.

horsefeathering fantastic.
-
This offense is fantastic. Great approaches. Great hitting. Great base running. Keep it up, boys.
-
Stop getting out of your crouch with 2 strikes and 2 outs and multiple runners on, Willie!
-
dammit. He was pitching well today, too.
-
That was a good AB... somehow.

horsefeathering stupid sport.

Statcast does measure spin on batted balls, but it isn't included in the data they provide, unless you download all of the data on a play. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because spin is more random and has to do with a variety of factors, such as which pitch was thrown and where it was thrown? Also the spin will benefit a batted ball differently depending on the wind. So it's not as pertinent as launch angle and exit velocity?

Courtesy of CubmanPi but if you look at the replay of the Russell home run, it said projected distance of 339 feet, which is interesting because the wall in left is 355 feet. I'm fairly positive StatCast doesn't include wind. Nope. It also doesn't include spin. That one probably had a good amount of backspin based off of how long it hung in the air. A lot of back spin, way up in the air, plus that wind, and it easily went further than 339. Probably the same on Schwarber's. The projected distance is only based off of launch angle and exit velocity. So you'll sometimes see balls with the same projected distances travel different distances -- even in domes, depending on if the ball had backspin or side spin and how much.

Nice win. Keep the bats going.

Plus three other players with at least 200 PA and an OBP of at least .340. Also, a backup catcher who has given up more runs pitching than his RBIs + runs hitting.

Stop bunting!

Dongs are good. Umpires are not.
-
Surprised he didn't kick that ball into the dugout.
-
Gimenez is entering Schlitter territory.
-
Jason Heyward is going to hit more homers than Kris Bryant.
-
Bring me the DH.

Can’t whine about a Cubs’ loss... don’t worry, I’ll find something else to whine about.
-
The bats are hot. Time to get on a roll.

Javy walking into the clubhouse today and trying to figure out what was different:
