1) I’m shocked their floor and cap are within 100M. 2) The idea that they’ll actually get the big markets to truly share all local media is laughably insane. 3) watch that bit about being willing to negotiate changes to FA and Arb. That is where the Brewers will get SCREWED.
If the season ended today the division winners would rank #2, 6, 8, 26, 28 and 30th in payroll. The wildcard winners would rank #3, 10, 17, 19, 24 and 27th. The #1, 4, 5, 7, 9 payrolls are all under .500. Please tell me more about how payroll is destiny in MLB.
Jacob Misiorowski in the 1st inning tonight: 4 fastest pitches by a SP under pitch tracking (2008, incl PS) 7 pitches at 103.0+ mph. All other SP since ‘08: 3 TOTAL 2 fastest strikeouts by SP under tracking: 103.3 mph to Rice, 102.8 to Grisham. Miz now has each of t3 (102.7 mph earlier this yr)
There had been 3 fastballs by a starting pitching at 103+ mph *total* in the pitch tracking era (since 2008). One belonged to Jacob Misiorowski. Miz just threw seven. In the first inning alone.

It’s full on pouring in here. Never seen anything like this in 21 years in these seats.
Some City Connects look rough in pictures and then I come around when I see them in a game. The Wisco jerseys with everyone wearing salmon long sleeves underneath....are not that.
Christian Yelich on Willson Contreras: “We’ve seen that skit for the last 10 years. It’s nothing new.”

Shohei Ohtani currently has: The longest active on-base streak in MLB (38 games) The longest active scoreless inning streak among SP in MLB (22 2/3 IP)
OK for fun: top funniest tweet ever? I am torn between "moon's haunted" and "Denise I was at your wedding."
