Hall-of-Famer-to-Be Joey Votto summoning his inner Conforto.

As Naquix goes deep, I'm starting to worry about a Mets batter getting beamed. But whose fault is it if you get beat by a guy you just traded off? You chose your poison.

Gary's a little off. Lindor has 79 RBI as a shortstop and two as a designated hitter.

No early gakks for Taijuan this time.

Please allow me to reiterate my support for retroactively honoring people for awards in seasons that happened before the awards were established, or before the awards split into an AL and an NL recipient.

Yes, WPA is a thing. Two consecutive batters lead off an inning by each hitting ground rule doubles to produce a run. Check out their WPA's for those specific at-bats. The second batters' WPA is significantly - no, tremendously - higher. But the two batters did the exact same thing and each double was as equally valuable as the other -- not an iota more nor an iota less. I tested this on the first case of back-to-back doubles to lead off an inning (I couldn't isolate for ground rule doubles, though I don't believe that should matter much) that I could find, and that was in https://www.fangraphs.com/boxscore.aspx?date=2022-08-08&team=Mariners&dh=0Monday's Yankees@Mariners tilt. Josh Donaldson led off with a fly-ball double and added .046 WPA. Gleyber Torres followed with a double of his own, and added .053 WPA. ( Donaldson held to see if the ball would be caught and didn't score.) For a little more context, Andrew Benitendi followed with a third double, plating both runners, and added .060 WPA.

I'm not even sure how much the free runner on second saves pitchers. It reduces the number of innings that will likely be demanded of them, certainly, but it also forces them to constantly pitch with their backs to the wall.
-
Yes, it's not true that WPA ignores the contributions of batters who reached base ahead of the batter who drove in the run. I certainly disagree that it's not a statistic.

No indeed. Number 45 on April 11, 1962 was Dick and DeeDee. [media=youtube]n_3j-itpRwo[/media] Admittedly, it's not quite yet looking like history's best week on the radio.

Somebody's trying to https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mets-keith-hernandez-requests-not-021000073.htmlmake bulletin board material out of Keef's bitching.

Hey, whatever happens, here's to Atlanta using six relievers tonight.

Looks like Acuña's knee is doing a little better.

I don't trust WAR for relievers, but I agree that he's not the Cy Young MVP. But he's welcome to keep on doing what he's doing and try to change my mind.

Put it in the Little Red Books!
-
Interesting when a team pinch-hits for their shortstop and his replacement comes up short on his first opportunity. Got the double-play after that, though.
-
But May finishes the job.
-
Maybe. The Cy Reliever Club also includes Steve Bedrock, Sparky Lyle, and, um ... Sutter, I think.
-
May, on the other hand, has gotten himself in a mess.
