The 2026 Brewers right now in the NLCS are running the highest three true outcome rate (47%) of any LCS since the series began in 1969. If you think I find this delightfully entertaining, I do.

Once again, Manfred & Co. are doing their best to kill a game that was close enough to perfect and that most Americans enjoyed. Baseball is becoming increasingly flawed and extraordinarily unlikable. And it’s happening at record speed. So sad (and pathetic).

You can make the bases bigger, tell the defense where to play, control the pick off attempts, but none of that can help a human react and handle the pitching stuff that we’re seeing in today’s game. At some point, we’ll have to move the mound back. #1890

When a baseball team is accused of being "too analytical" in 2026 what does that mean? If you want to argue that a team is analyzing information and acting on something incorrectly, that's a potentially salient point. But you have to analyze the information to make that point.

Why is the answer always to limit the defense and not make the hitters adjust? What’s next put a dot where every fielder has to stand on, or only allow 2 outfielders?

MLB's Arizona Fall League is experimenting with rules that regulate the positioning of outfielders in an effort to increase the number of balls in the gap. Outfielders under these rules are playing closer to the lines than normal, creating much bigger swaths of grass in the alleyways in left-center and right-center field. FanGraphs was first to report the news. BA's Josh Norris and J.J. Cooper have more: buff.ly/Y0w0SHz

MLB has proposed returning to a 154-game Regular Season, best-of-seven Division Series, and opponent selection in the Wild Card and Division Series Starting in 2029, shortening the season to a 154-game schedule would create a standard weekly off day benefiting player health, and it would allow the addition of up to 8 more Postseason games by moving to a best-of-seven Division Series format Beginning in 2027, higher-seeded clubs in the Wild Card and Division Series would select their opponents

"The guy that used to hit .300, I'm sorry to tell you, is going to hit .240, .250 today. It just is what it is." @JoeyVotto breaks down why the league does not have more players like Luis Arraez and explains how baseball's evolution has led to that trend.

The Mariners lineup needs significant change this offseason, beyond merely hoping that Raleigh returns to form in 2027. Seattle has scored the fewest runs in MLB this season, with the worst BA with RISP of any AL team. The pieces don’t fit.
