More like they banned the tacky shit and now baseballs getting back to baseball. Pitchers just have to throw a ball.

Spoiler!


Bobby is crushing it during a time that hitting is at its lowest point in quite some time.

Jeff Passan getting all the Yankees fans worked up this morning. Lots of comments on this that there's no way Bobby could win the MVP over Judge.

Major League Baseball has a new leader in Wins Above Replacement, and it's Bobby Witt Jr.

Yeah offense is down. Pitchers are throwing their arms out with 100+ mph pitching across the board and many batters have trouble quickly getting set with a pitch clock. Doing well on offense given that is impressive. Some hitters are eating because they're just really good

I believe that adjusting to the pitch clock has affected hitters more than pitchers, but I feel like the quality of middle relief and set up men has improved across the board to a point where managers don't sweat pulling their starter after 5 or 6 innings.

Teams used to hold out and try to get their starter through 7 innings, because they didn't really have middle relief pitchers, or have a lot of them, as a lot of bullpens were set up with 8th & 9th inning guys.

Now, relief pitchers in general are more adaptable, and seem to share roles more freely, plus some relief pitchers have spent their entire time in the minors pitching in these various roles so they are better prepared.

Managers sometimes even start their relief pitchers now, with a preplanned replacement by the starter. I know it doesn't happen a lot, but the fact that it happens at all tells you how much managers have changed their approach to managing their staff.

I didn't watch every game, but I feel like Q is a mastermind when it comes to managing the pitchers on a game to game basis compared to Mike Matheny.

Bobby has 16 hits over his past 6 games, getting 3 hits in five out of those six games. Nuts. He’s gone full on supernova since the ASB.

Bobby Witt Jr. has joined Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Shohei Ohtani as the only qualified hitters with an OPS over 1.000. Also, he is hitting 17 points higher than the next qualified hitter. ⚾️ 🔥#MLB #WelcomeToTheCity pic.twitter.com/OXFFh8kLce
