Major League Baseball in 2021

[ScottT]

I think I saw these numbers on MLB network earlier

in 2019... pitchers hit .159 with a .161 SLG and struck out 42.5% of the time

Will be cool when Cobb makes the all star team this year, and is used for a promo saying "this is my town" (because my county sounds weird)

Either that, or Baseball Prospectus uses the same exact algorithm.

Baseball Prospectus produces the PECOTA rankings.

It seems those at Angel Stadium on opening night will experience fake crowd noise in person.... because it looks like the Angels will have 20 percent capacity.

So weird.

Will be complicated at Dodger Stadium. They'll have to play fake crowd noise for the first three innings and final two innings.

[ScottT]

Angel Stadium and Dodger Stadium aren't much different in that regard.

Which reminds me.... most Angels home games start at 6:38 this year.   So, it's not going to be any different.

So much for his major league career. Down the drain.

Think the Cubs will use this pic as their media guide cover?

That’s better than having guys like Jon Jay in the lineup

So weird. 

They should use the artificial crowd noise even when the stadium is at 100 % capacity.

Key Middleton agrees.

It worked out really really poorly for Justin Baughman once.
