Better teams hit the ball further. A sample that doesn’t have the Tigers in it versus one that does is destined to have a higher number

Some of the data done is vs. model, not raw distance.
It's an NLCS chat if you believe

Has Rendon meaningfully changed the way his free agency will go through his postseason performance?

No

There you have it, folks. Houston has more check marks.
Hire Joe Morgan?

I eat sandwiches with a fork sometimes because washing a fork is easier than using a napkin.  I assure you, I am not wealthy.  But plutocracy aside, I accept your position.

But these are the best hitters, doesn´t that influence the avg distance? But the drag.. you can´t argue with that

they're some great hitters, but also great pitchers...

If it goes Nats/Stro’s, what pitching potential matchup are you most excited about?
AvatarDan Szymborski

I want Scherzer vs. Verlander and Strasburg vs. Cole to match up
AvatarJay Jaffe
8:34
if we get a Scherzer-Verlander or Scherzer-Cole it would be awesome
Hire Joe Morgan?

What else could Bregman do to lean into his heel turn?

I gave lots of ideas when I was proposing A-Rod do a heel turn some years ago.

Like every road trip, take out a full-page ad bashing the fans of the team.
And *always* acting as if the crowd is cheering him, no matter what they're doing.

back to the average fly ball distance question, the leaderboard doesn't entirely conform to a measure of sheer batting talent. You've got playoff guys there (Sano and Cruz 1-2), and then among other postseason participants, Adam Duvall at #4, Yordan Alvarez #11, Aaron Judge #13, Matt Adams #15... it's a weird group

hard throwers = longer distance when hit?
AvatarJay Jaffe

mean to mention this when somebody complained earlier, not that it wasn't a valid complaint

There's a negative correlation between velocity thrown and home runs.

what about the one with the O's and Dodgers in 1966?  Palmer, McNally, Drysdale, Koufax headlining it.
AvatarJay Jaffe

another good one

not just rotations but the 1954 series had Hoyt Wilhelm on the Giants, and Bob Lemon, Early Wynn, and Hal Newhouser for the Indians — and those are just the HOFers

Even just looking at fastballs, >95 MPH fastballs were 22% of the fastball home runs but 27% of fastballs.
