So where can we find data on how parks play by month?

There was an interesting BP article about this recently here:

Thoughts on Pham? Hitting the ball hard, but not “producing”

Ben Clemens

2:55

He's one that I feel fine about

2:56

If you look under the hood,nothing is particularly terrifying

The swing-level data looks good, he's not missing a ton, like you said, he's hitting the ball hard

62 PA isn't a ton

Maybe get Mookie Betts out of centerfield next time he hits a fading liner

Did you pay any attention to the $h1tstorm in the European Soccer leagues as they attempt to start a no relegation Super League? Some very, very unhappy fans.

Ben Clemens

2:57

I'm the 'man eagerly eating popcorn' gif when it comes to the Super League

Homer

Acuna, any Dodger or the rest of the field for NL MVP? (I know, April)

Ben Clemens

2:57

Any Dodger seems like the smart bet here

You get a lot of coverage

Mo Jiggles

Why didn't the Yankees give Bruce a final at bat?

Ben Clemens

2:58

I don't know!

I mean, he's not a Yankees legend or anything

2:59

But still

He was a fun player, had a sweet Player's Weekend jersey, New York fans seem to like him

One AB, c'mon man

Sharp

2:59

Astudillo, ace reliever?

Ben Clemens

2:59

Love the velo gap

3:00

Love the hair

Love everything honestly

Alright, I'm sorry for the short chat, but having a minor personal life crisis at the moment (it'll be fine, I just have to jump on a bunch of annoying phone calls), so I'm going to call the chat a day and bring in Yermin Mercedes to lob up some meatballs until we're done

And by that I mean, now, because the chat is ending

Sorry for the brevity today, and I'll see you all next week
