Time for Baseball Things!
We’re bringing back Baseball Things — talking some Mike Trout, the Cubs future, home runs (obviously) and the most underrated player in the game right now.
For those of you who are struggling to connect with The Athletic (or to merge your Athletic and JoeBlog accounts), an email will be coming shortly. And if you are not a subscriber but are thinking about it, I will also be sending along a link for a fantastic deal. Thanks for being patient, and thanks to all of you who have made the jump over to The Athletic (that’s almost all of you!).
I feel like you, Joe, and Michael as well, would appreciate this piece of writing: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-yankees-always-have-the-twins-number-will-this-postseason-be-different/
I mean, I love 538's work and all, but this article could have been a one-word Tweet: "No."
