An interesting stat I found. This is win probability added.
This is a cumulative stat that adds up the teams gained or lost win probability from at bat to at bat.
I think this shows how little the impact an individual baseball player is to there team over the course of the season.

How am I supposed to tell who is winning the shootout on this Prime scorebug?
For reference this is 2-0 Montreal… Red means goal, white circle means no goal.

The Juan Soto deal is not a good contract…
The fact that none of the $765M over 15 years is deferred means that he accounts for about 20% of the Mets Luxury Tax every season.
And by the way every consecutive season you surpass the cap the tax grows exponentially.
How could he be that valuable?

This new MLB rule “The Golden At Bat” is wild.
This rule would allow teams to slot any hitter into the game at any time no matter where they are in the batting order…
This would really shake things up.

Crazy that 2007 born (late birthday) Gavin McKenna is there.
Most players in their draft year don’t make the team…
McKenna isn’t even in his draft year yet. He’s part of the 2026 NHL draft class.

Alex Ovechkin out 4-6 weeks.
He’s 26 goals away from Gretzky’s record of 894…
At this point he’s 39 years old and already has 15 goals in 18 games this season.
Breaking the record eventually is inevitable.

Big win for the Canadian Hockey League here.

If I am the NFL I would be worried about Netflix's ability to stream on Christmas Day.
The Paul vs Tyson fight was full of errors which were most likely related to the volume of viewers on the platform.
There were a lot of casual fans watching the fight... this won't be the case for NFL.
