Inspiration. Before looking at offense, it must be said that in the last two seasons Carlos Santana’s defense at first base was elite. In 2024 he won the Gold Glove at first base, and in 2025, he was one of the three nominees. Averaging the last two seasons, his yearly Outs-Above-Average (OAA) was 11 (truly […]

On the way up to the plate for his first at-bat in a pivotal matchup between 2-0 Mexico and 2-0 USA last night, Mariners left-fielder Randy Arozarena looked down to say hello to Team USA catcher Cal Raleigh. Hoping for handshake or a quick dap, what Randy got back was nothing at all. After the […]
Pardon our delay on the game thread this afternoon! It’s spring training for all of us, but we did want to get one set up in case anyone wanted to chime in on the Yanks/Phils road matchup today. Luis Gil will aim to build on his much more impressive last time out in comparison to […]
