"Davis punched out" I've heard that a few times this year

Chris Davis wasn't really punched out as much as hit plate appearances just tapered to sad, bleak nothingness.

How many black GMs have there been? How many African-Americans in today’s game are high level decision makers in front offices?

Man remember when everyone on fangraphs was saying Yanks would dump Dellin last offseason? Was one of the weirdest disconnects between the national sabre community and the Yankee sabre world. Never saw River Ave Blues even consider Yanks would drop him. We knew he could be this easily. 90% of the time he's top-10 reliever in baseball.

I don’t care that he’s safe, Chapman is incredible

Can we do a poll for what World Series matchup we’d all like the most?

CMS is separate from the data stuff.  The writers either use the graphing tools available on the site to the public like the player graphs. Or they use a D3 JavaScript app that takes CSV/Excel data and creates a graph. It's rather basic, but takes care of 95% of graphing needs.

In your CMS are you able to set criteria and create a chart or a table? Is there a proprietary function to that? How much manual tinkering do you have to do to show, e.g. that a player's second half WAR was best in the league at his position for the past ten years (4 variables: time, position, WAR, season segment)

Although you are 100% forgiven for forgetting Dave Stewart as a favor to the black community.

The most shocking development of the day is that the Yankees were leading that poll for a period of time.
