OOPSY also did well overall. The article didn't review specific component projections, but OOPSY's RBI projections weren't good. need to spend more time on those. BB, K, HR, SB were all good, comparable to THE BAT X and Steamer. ZiPS hosed us in those too.

The reviews are in: critics are hailing OOPSY as Paul Thomas Anderson's most entertaining film yet. No, wait, that is "One Battle After Another." Good work, @dszymborski.fangraphs.com

i know the 2025 projections are often too bullish on teens crushing the lower minors. I'd just stick with the peak proj for those guys as almost nobody actually jumps from A to MLB in the same year. there'd likely be a bigger hit to performance than typical translations indicate if they did

Now that David Robertson has signed, for the first time, major league baseball has achieved a perfectly efficient allocation of talent... for better or worse, there's no need for any additional moves this trade deadline

EV90 is in OOPSY now. for now as a proxy for bat speed for minor leaguers. Noteworthy gainers (new peak wRC+): Konnor Griffin (120), Owen Caissie (126), Bryce Eldridge (124). Noteworthy fallers: Payton Eeles (93) and Dameury Pena (96)

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported. Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city.

His statements don’t just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you. We will not accept this intimidation.

That Trump included praise for Eric Adams in his authoritarian threats is unsurprising, but highlights the urgency of bringing an end to this Mayor’s time in City Hall. At the very moment when MAGA Republicans are attempting to destroy the social safety net, kick millions of New Yorkers off of healthcare and enrich their billionaire donors at the expense of working families, it is a scandal that Eric Adams echoes this President’s division, distraction and hate.

Voters will resoundingly reject it in November.

RIP to the abundance agenda's "theory of power," 6-8-2025 to 7-1-2025. It was a good run

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all. It comes at a time of near-record inequalities of income and wealth.

This budget bill is a nightmare.

The Worst Bill in History
