The general feeling, nevertheless, is that the new uniforms are a huge step back in terms of quality.

New MLB pants are see through, apparently.
That's something.

Other than Pujols, Trout and A-Roid, are there any 3-time MVP winners who aren't in the Hall? Bonds through 1998 before he got pissed about McGwire and Sosa. That's the thing with Barry Lamar. He might have passed Aaron's 755 career HR's if he never juiced. 445 HR's at age 33. Other than 2001, his totals were superhuman, 49, 46, 45 and 45 until he was 39 and began to break down. He hit over 40 three times before he hit the chemistry set. His durability also waned with the juice. Yeah, he was no Gehrig but Bonds had played 150+ games eight times before 1998. Once after. Take 25 off the 2001 total (gives him 48) and, since the juice might not break down his body like it seems to do, maybe he makes up those 25 in has last years. He breaks the record and is a 1st ballot HOFer, probably unanimous.
A lot of writers and insiders say there's one known huge steroid abuser in the HOF already. Anyone care to venture a guess (No, not David Ortiz)

I think it has to be Kirby Puckett. Four home runs in 1,248 AB's his first two seasons. He hit 9 at Visalia when the California League was a sluggers paradise. Then jumps to 31. His slugging pct went .385 to .537 and his OPS went from .715 to .903. Everyone thought it was funny, especially Bob Costas. He had all the characteristics, the disappearing neck, the short career, the "roid rage" later in life, the early death. He gets a pass, you never hear his name dragged through the muck
Puckett at Visalia, age 23
Six years later

ESPN is adding scorebug probabilities. Poker probabilities can be calculated. But with sports games, unless they disclose the data they're using given how the rules have changed and even the modern pitching rules and strategies, I think their probabilities are mostly bullshit. They just want more in-game betting.

In a rather confounding move, the Padres land Dylan Cease from the White Sox. They still have a strong team but I thought they were trying to rebuild their farm system and fill in their team around the edges? This move seems to run counter to that. So it goes. Hell, if Cease rediscovers his 2022 form, then this is a no-brainer.

In each AB, they'll post the "reach base probability" and update it for every pitch, and it seem like it's just pulling numbers out of thin air. It's distracting, not meaningful to the vast majority of viewers, and is emblematic of what the game's brass fails to understand about how people enjoy the sport.

I keep waiting for coverage options, like which camera angles I want to look at besides pitcher-catcher battery for 3hrs. Audio coverage/live podcasting option. Scorebug/ticker options.
If these trillionaires are so scared of viewership, can they not just f'n give us what we want? This is the age of choice, not shove down our necks.

Hell, if Cease rediscovers his 2022 form, then this is a no-brainer. Prellar can't help himself - - he trades, therefore he is. They didn't dip into any of the top five prospects, thankfully. Eno Sarris ranked the top 150 starters ten days ago based on a series of analytics, and while the Padres didn't have anybody top twenty, he had Musgrove at 24, Cease at 26, Michael King at 27, and Darvish at 32. Nobody lights out, but the Pads three and four should be better than most other teams' threes and fours.

Nobody touching Pujols' record? Probably not, I think the shift maybe juiced his numbers. Maybe fly-outs will climb along with the strikeouts.
