It's the hardest-hit ball, period by a Dodger by nearly 3 mph.

Previous high was Yasiel Puig (116.0 mph on 4/4/2017).

For a guy working in DC for the first time in his life, Andy Pages showed a remarkable aptitude for filibustering.

The Dodgers' MVP3 through 24 games is hitting .338.

I remember this being one of the first things I wanted to know when Statcast first came out. (Sprint speed and arm speed, too)

Enjoyed outing myself as an expansion-era San Jose Sharks fan, among other things.

It strikes me as quite odd to note a death in this manner, in this place on this website.

The Dodgers’ fifth inning against Houser: another fine example of California’s Gold.

It was a thrill.

Walker Buehler will make another rehab start Wednesday, Dave Roberts said. Landon Knack will start for the Dodgers again.

'Why couldn't this have been my umpire yesterday?' – Walker Buehler, perhaps.

Caitlin Clark is changing the landscape of women's sports for this generation and beyond but it was Billie Jean King who laid the groundwork.

King is a pioneer for women’s sports on many levels and the crap she had to put up with is making everything possible for women now.

This morning, the Baseball Hall of Fame announced a new exhibit dedicated to “the Transpacific Exchange of the Game between Japan and the US.” It’ll open next year, when Ichiro will appear on the HoF ballot for the first time with a chance to be the first Japanese player elected.

Home runs are being hit at just over 2.0 per game and down 15% vs last year. A main reason appears to be that the ball isn't flying as far.

Carry distance is on level with the notorious dead ball April of 2022. 🧵⬇️
