“We’re a difficult team to beat. Other teams have to beat us. We very rarely have beat ourselves all season.” 🐏
@michellachester and @DiamondHeels legend, Mike Fox, talk about the Tar Heels and what it means to be at the #MCWS cheering them on.
In the A’s first game in Vegas we saw:
29 runs
34 hits
11 homers
The longest home run of the season
A game-saving homer that had a .000 xBA that would be gone in 0/30 ballparks (94.6 EV @ 48°)
It seems that the baseball world (on my X feed, at least) may be realizing.. 🧵
Each ballpark hosts around 3% of the games played in an MLB season. If this was Game 7 of the WS, would we collectively feel a league champion was found? Or would we feel like it wasn’t “real” because 97% of games played in the league play out so differently?
Random side note: MLB vets using Spring Training as just training is an earned privilege that does not apply to most. ST for many nowadays is about battling for a roster spot. Balancing development vs. performance in ST is often an overlooked challenge for non-established players
A personal example, in ‘21 the Stros were pushing me to try out a cutter in ST games. We felt it would be beneficial to my repertoire long term. Ultimately, I refused bc I was pitching well and I wasn’t willing to risk a performance lull that may result in not making the team
Chapel Bill!!
Chapel Bill: six-time Super-Bowl-winning head coach Bill Belichick is finalizing a deal to become the new head coach at North Carolina, sources tell me, @PeteThamel and @ClowESPN.
Belichick is going back to school, to where his father served as an assistant coach in the 1950s.
