2 games

Yeah I think he was .609 when I wrote that with two weeks to go. Kind of thought it was relatively safe. Nope!

I'm kind of wondering if Dodger Stadium has changed in terms of being such a pitcher's park over the years. Nobody including lumberjack Piazza could get past 40 homers playing there, and suddenly there were all kinds of upper 40s: Green, Beltre and Bellinger all made runs at 50 seemingly out of the blue. Wondering if the park factor has changed at all, maybe related to weather??

It's a league average park this year. I just look at a bunch of years in the last 2 decades and it has varied from some years being 2nd best pitchers park to being a neutral park occasionally (but never being higher than neutral park factor)

Are the Ohtani/Judge seasons of 2024 worth comparing to DiMaggio/Williams of 1941, or not even close..?

I am thinking this is a historic year, but then....recency bias.....

PS. That Williams did not win the MVP in 1941 is still nuts.

Would’ve went to the Mets game today but didn’t feel like paying $250

Luisangel Acuña is going to be better than his older brother!

Ohtani with 37 steals (only 2 times thrown out) in the last 68 games. That would be about a 90 steal rate for a full season. He's still got a decent shot at creating a 50/60 club.

I wonder who the last player to even steal 37 in 68 would be.

fun stat, in the top 13 career OPS+ guys, not a single player has 3000 hits. Cobb at 14th is the highest. Musial is the only guy in the top 20. 3 players in the top 20 are from the negro leagues. and 3 are active players.
