Maybe outdueling Skenes today will finally convince Yahoo Fantasy to make Miz eligible as a starter

Casey Schmitt making the most of his playing time while Chapman’s on the IL. 

He’s now even with Ramos in BA and OPS after going 4-4 today.

Went to the Giants game tonight. Fitzgerald blows it by getting picked off to end the 9th, then because of 21st century extra inning rules he scores the winning run on a WP in the 10th. 🤷‍♂️

I wrote a reflection about my first month on Farcaster.

Honest feedback is welcome. Don't worry about my feelings. I'm more interested in your POV, especially if you have a strong reaction. :)

From what I can tell, Skenes already has 2X the bWAR of any other 2024 rookie starter.

⚾️ Skenes: 8.7
⚾️ Shota: 4.2
⚾️ Yamamoto: 3.8
⚾️ Gil: 3.7 (IR this year)
⚾️ Schwellenbach: 3.6

Let's take a moment to appreciate how bad the Rockies have been. They've won 9 games this season.

The White Sox set a MLB record with 121 losses last year. The Rockies are on pace to finish 25-137.

Lotta missed opportunities for the Giants this past month

The #SFGiants pitching staff led baseball with a 2.64 ERA in May. Despite that, they finish with a 13-14 record due to a total collapse of the offense. 

The Giants extended their streak to 13 games of not scoring more than 4 runs in a game with today's loss.

Jacob Wilson is the ROY favorite thus far, but I can't help but notice his career WAR is still lower than another AL rookie shortstop: Trey Sweeney.

Another interesting nugget about the 2011 rookie class: it includes the 3 active relievers with (by far) the highest career bWARs: 

⚾️ Kimbrel 22.3
⚾️ Jansen 21.8
⚾️ Chapman 21.2

The 4th-highest active reliever? Hader with 13.3.

Freddie Freeman and Paul Goldschmidt were both rookies in 2011. 

bWAR from 2011-15:
⚾️  Freeman 14.9
⚾️ Goldy 23.1

bWAR from 2021-25:
⚾️ Freeman 24
⚾️ Goldy 18.9

This year, Freeman (62.2) will likely pass Goldy (63.2) in career bWAR for the first time.
