Preparing for Spring Training to get into full-swing.

Currently watching late-September New York Yankees at Tampa Bay Rays.

The decision watch this particular game was based on using: 

the Baseball Savant sorting function to find (eh-hem) “the day of the year where there were the most strikeouts and the highest expected-bases-on-stat-cast-hit-exit-velocity-and-angle”

Moral of the story by William Shakespeare:

the more you look into the eye of what is coming, it’s past you looking back

Using the 2019 results:

Milwaukee stands little chance against Scherzer and the Nationals stand little chance against Woodruff…

This is going to be interesting.

If I were a betting man I would say: Rendon, Soto, Eaton, Suzuki, Turner are going to batting-average-line-drive-sacrifice-bunt their way past the home-runs-and-walks of Milwaukee (because Scherzer does not walk batters) .

In the AL:

Oakland vs. Tampa is going to end up in the first-ever tie.

They will have to combine teams to face Houston and then maybe have a chance.
