Yeah, with that injury it makes sense that he would have less power to the pull side against lefties, which is reflected in his ISO.

Treinen, Scott, and Vesia (sorry Alex) should not be this high on the trust tree rn. Vesia hasn’t looked sharp in a while.

That said, the Dodgers have a lot more info than just me looking at Fangraphs, so I guess they know what they're doing.

If we're going solely by splits, I'm not so sure. He was bad against lefties in 2023 and 2025. Per BP, it takes about 1000 PA for this to stabilize. His career wRC+ against lefties is 113 (vs 130 against righties).

With this bullpen, 5 runs is still a save situation

Ya I saw he confirmed it with a source, just don’t understand what the rule is then. We’ll find out soon anyways .

"If a player is optioned to a Minor League club whose season -- including any playoffs -- ends prior to the conclusion of that 10-day period, the player can be recalled at that point, with approval from the Commissioner's Office." OKC is out, so I think this means Will Klein is in play, no?

Wait, why wouldn't Will Klein be eligible? Per MLB: "For the 2025 season, any player who was on the 40-man roster or 60-day injured list as of noon ET on Sept. 1 is eligible for the postseason."

Need to credit the orig post bsky.app/profile/thre...

Levi Weaver, but for baseball @threetwoeephus.bsky.social · Jul 17

From the Hiroshima Carp: the actual distance on this home run was 120 meters, or about 393 feet.

Original post was only ehhhhh ~200’ off.

Hiroshima Carp said it was 120 meters (393 ft). Regardless, fuck that guy

Maybe he “didn’t hit enough homers” lol

Ben Rhau @brhau.bsky.social · Jan 17

It’s a little uneven, but if you like neo noir movies, definitely worth a watch

Hope the LA Times is being sure to print the fire’s point of view too.

Though they clearly don't need him, it would be supremely entertaining for the Dodgers to have both Ha-Seoung and Hye-Song Kim on the team, confusing the shit out of everbody.

Ben Rhau @brhau.bsky.social · Dec 28

With no Farhan in sight, can’t wait for Buster Posey to blame this on homeless people.

Ben Rhau @brhau.bsky.social · Dec 10

How about we get Bellinger to play CF and move Edman to short?

Ben Rhau @brhau.bsky.social · Dec 9

Would love Robert, obviously. It would take a haul, though.

Ben Rhau @brhau.bsky.social · Dec 9

likely *worse* offensive player, sorry

Ben Rhau @brhau.bsky.social · Dec 9

Yeah, he also probably ages better long term as an infielder.

Ben Rhau @brhau.bsky.social · Dec 9

Ha-Seong Kim, maybe? Or you get a star and someone loses their roster spot.
