I created the Lahman Baseball Database nearly 30 years ago. It’s pretty gratifying to see it still being used, maintained, and now getting a major modernization. @SABR has announced some big changes coming with the 2026 update. sabr.org/latest/sabrs-lahman…

David Stearns said he's learned to more deeply value the idea that certain players have trouble playing in NY. There's difficulty in assessing which players will thrive in a pressurized environment but they'll be making an effort to do so.

No room for error in a 1-1-1 series
In a 1-1-1 series, Game 2 carries a lot of weight for the Liberty. @dhenrytv and @madkenney break it all down in the latest episode of Liberty Lately!

David Stearns says they intend to address first base - a position where they hope to get more production - externally and internally. Asked if he would treat the Pete Alonso situation differently, Stearns notes Alonso has a great season but as POBO, "I don't get mulligans."
I like putting Nolan Ryan's longevity in perspective:
Nolan Ryan made his MLB debut with the Mets just three years after JFK was assassinated
When Nolan Ryan retired, President Bill Clinton was in office

The Liberty went into Minnesota and stole Game 1. Now they’re one win from taking the whole series. 🗽👀
Stewie made history, New York flipped the game after halftime, @madkenney and I have plenty to discuss on the new ‘Liberty Lately’!

Sandy Alcantara led MLB in innings pitched
He had 3 saves
he’s the 2nd pitcher to lead MLB in IP for a season, and save at least a game that same regular season, joining Phil Niekro in 1978 who had 1 (saves offish since 1969)

There were moments the last few years when I wondered if we’d ever see Scherzer go seven strong again. So that he did it today, with no rest, while trying exclusively to strike people out, is insane. He’s unhinged, but hinged people rarely make history…or something like that.

John Schneider on what he said to Max Scherzer:
“Thank you for letting me be part of your unbelievable career, I wouldn’t want any other 42-year-old psychopath on my team other than you” 😂

Max Scherzer refuses to come out of the game, one last time.

Boone on what goes into deciding whether Giancarlo Stanton will be on the AL Wild Card roster.
Per Mina Kim's pre-trial reply brief filed on 9/24, Kim was offered $600K to abandon her case to inspect WPBL's financial records. She rejected it.
The brief doesn't specify who or what entity offered her $600K - if it was CEO Keith Stein personally, the league, or a 3rd party
As part of my investigation, I spoke with WPBL CEO Keith Stein. He said he:
- Owns 65% of the WPBL, while cofounder Justine Siegal owns <6%
- Used his bank account for league business for months
- Invested $225K despite the board having no record of it
