Starting off with a banger

That rib would make a great 1/1 Allen & Ginter baseball card.

Broken hamate check:

Francisco Lindor

Corbin Carroll

Jackson Holiday

 

It's an epidemic this year.

One of the worst Red Sox to ever do it (-1.5 fWAR). Grateful that we got to see him suffer in '24 with NYY.

Please tell me I'm not going to have to hear "deathball" as the new hot pitch this year or ever.

Well, looking at the bottom of the graphic, deathball can mean knuckle-curve or put-away pitch.  If its the former, we do need a new name for the knuckle-curve, but deathball aint it.  Or maybe we dont need to have all 15 curveball variations to have their own name.  Maybe we just call a knuckle-curve a curveball. Maybe we can jsut call a slurve a curveball too.

Wild season already.
