Kirk Cousins is a much more midwestern name than Mikolas, imo

If nike made FanGraphs personalized Baseball cleats, what would they look like for each of you?

I'd have Bayes' theorem on them

You just gotta say it Mickolas, and it sounds plenty midwestern
AvatarDan Szymborski

Said that way, Miles Mickolas definitely sounds like a Hogwarts teacher

Madison Bumgarner still the OG grumpy baseball farmer

Worse offensive division AL Central?  Tigers/Royals/Guardians/WSox are all pretty bad.  Twins only decent one of bunch

I dont' think the Twins are that much better than the Guardians

I'd chew a limb off before I'd watch those offenses on the regular

wouldn't the OG grumpy baseball farmer have to be Ty Cobb or someone similarly old?

Mordecai Three Finger Brown
5:12
from his HOF bio: "Brown’s life changed when – as a five year old – he got his right index finger caught in a machine designed to separate grain from stalks and husks. The digit was sliced off, leaving only a stump. The next year, Brown damaged the hand again in a fall – breaking the remaining fingers. The bones healed, but the fingers were left at permanently odd angles."
Beat that, Mikolas!

Sometimes it feels like half of the people in early baseball had an existing injury from farming or industrial work

People used to be so creative with Nicknames. Three Finger Brown!

Showing up late at the ballpark and pissing off his manager and teammates?
5 Run Homer

I mean, calling a guy with three fingers “Three-Finger” isn’t super creative

Darvish's arsenal is proof that God exists, and he loves baseball.

Hard to argue with this.

With two home runs already today, and injuries all over the reds roster, how many home runs does Nick martini end the season with?
Davy Andrews

Well over 300.

Lewis, right quad, so it's not the knee......

Martini already has 40% of his Steamer-predicted homers this year. Analytics in shambles!

More likely cy young winner Burnes or Gausman?

On the deferment and time value of money question, is there an official "discount rate" or "Yield curve" which is used when determining an AAV?     I mean, 10 years at 10% is a lot different than 10 yrs at 5%.

So I've got the Dodgers-Cardinals on the TV and four games going on the MLB.tv brower. I notice that the Yankees-Astros game is the Free Game of the Day so I move to swap it in... but of course the blackout rules preempt that. Never change, MLB.
