Happy 4th of July! #Baseball & the 4th of July are made for each other. There have been some memorable baseball events on 4th of July. I wrote about them. Best wishes for a great 4th! open.substack.com/pub/almostcoop… @ibwaa SABR Kelley Franco @kjallmanjeff @jeffcohen41 Mark Stevens

This is well done. A New Innovator in Hitting Mechanics…the Marlins? by Matthew Creally medium.com/p/a-new-innova…

This week #Dodgers Clayton Kershaw tallied his 3,000th strikeout. Will he be the last to do that? #Braves Chris Sale needs less than 500 & #Yankees Gerrit Cole less than 750. Can they last long enough to get there? #strikeoutsarefascist

BTW the Ed Lynch interview was excellent. For some reason I thought Ed was aggravated that the Mets traded him away in 1986 after he paid his dues all those year. Maybe he felt that at the time but he's gotten over it apparently! Great job!

Just awful news for #Yankees. #Mets fans know the feeling all too well.

In a results based analysis world, if #Mets Nimmo and Vientos make outs to end the 1st inning, Soto gets killed for bunting. He ends up looking like a team guy who trusts his teammates. #LGM

As the 4th of July holiday weekend comes to a close ICYMI check out what I wrote about 4th of July #baseball. Tomorrow morning we will drop a podcast highlighting spin rates & swing & miss rates in this week in baseball.

2025 #MLB ASG reserves named both leagues w a few new faces. Spin rates & fielding Independent Pitching or FIP? Complicated no more. We explain! Listen: buzzsprout.com/1066072/episod… Watch: youtu.be/CMxpsZuCzfs @ibwaa SABR Kelley Franco @kallmanjeff @jeffcohen41 Mark Stevens

Great and important play by Bellinger yesterday. What went under the radar was Goldschmidt's deke on Lindor. He didn't move his glove up to catch the ball until the very last moment. Great play on both ends.

AC Tuesday Trivia: #MLB draft is this Sunday. Rick Monday was the 1st player in history to be taken in an MLB draft 60 years ago in 1965. He's now nearly 80 years old! Name the first #1 draft pick to be a Hall-of-Famer.

The "Almost All-Stars". Low blow called on Pat Burrell vs. Armando Benitez. Not untrue though!

169 players have worn both #Yankees & #Mets uniforms. Many are forgotten. Some were better than others. Read my latest post: open.substack.com/pub/almostcoop… @ibwaa SABR Kelley Franco @kallmanjeff @jeffcohen41 Mark Stevens @subwaytoshea

Good idea. Why not?

Harsh.

This week's podcast featured a discussion on Spin Rates & FIP. Plus a quick tour of the past week in #baseball. ICYMI Watch: youtu.be/CMxpsZuCzfs Listen: buzzsprout.com/1066072/episod… OkAYYY!YEahh! MLB MLB.TV

#MLB expansion is coming. Is this the point at which the AL & NL turn into conferences like #NFL #NBA #NHL? No more AL or NL is possible and maybe likely. And awful! Read my latest: open.substack.com/pub/almostcoop… @ibwaa SABR Kelley Franco @kallmanjeff @jeffcohen41 Mark Stevens

#MLB All-Star futures game is this afternoon in Atlanta. Will you watch? There are higher stakes than in the one that will be played on Tuesday! Will you watch the ASG Home Run Derby and the game itself? We're #baseball addicts so our answer is YES! #MLBAllstarweek
