In a departure from trade deadlines and offseasons past, the Angels appear to be willing to hear other clubs out when they come calling about some of their most appealing, controllable trade options.

The Toronto Blue Jays‘ season has gone from bad to worse. The team dropped another lopsided decision on Monday to […]
So I thought I’d go through this little exercise just for my own sense of ‘what the hell is going on’. Over the last 22 games, four weeks (with the All Star break in there), the Jays are 7-15. They’ve averaged 3.5 runs a game. Quite the stretch run. The batters are hitting .214/.272/.337….which makes […]

As for the draft picks, they participated in a draft camp at Charlott...

We’re almost there, folks: training camp. While the NFL offseason is tediously long, I’m usually fine and adequately preoccupied with baseball and the usual summer activities that fill evenings and weekends. The World Cup was also a welcome distraction this year. Nonetheless, when the MLB All-Star Break hits, the itch becomes impossible to scratch, and […]
In Part 1 of this series, I established that pressure carries a measurable offensive signal beyond the three true outcomes. After accounting for power, plate discipline, strikeouts and first-base opportunity creation, context-adjusted aggression still maintained a positive relationship with run production. Yet, that does not mean every team should run more. Pressure can be created […] The post The Teams That Create the Most Pressure appeared first on Just Baseball .

I’ll start with an advisory here: This video may make you feel bad. It’s not nice. Proceed with caution: Not cool! Bill Miller, the umpire who is being berated by Reds pitcher Caleb Ferguson, didn’t even do anything wrong. The ball was hit to short. That’s the shortstop’s play to make.

Introduction For the past two years, I’ve been turning the clock back five years to do a catch up on the D-Backs’ draftees and see how they’re doing. It seems like an appropriate time gap given the length it can take the average draftee to actually start making an impact at the big league level […]
