Late 70s NFL offenses were brutal across the League. In 1977, the average team scored 17 points a game, threw 14 TDs to 20 Ints, had an average passer rating of 61.2, and gained 4.4 yards a play.

With Suzuki hurt and Madrigal and Mastrobuoni both sucking out loud, Counsel can’t really afford to give Swanson and Happ the breaks they both so obviously need. I know Swanson is dealing with a knee, but Swanson on one leg is better than either of the M and M boys fully healthy.

He’s supposed to be back this weekend. He went 3 for 3 today in Iowa.

Absolutely brutal offensive series. Several guys need to find their swings again.

Brutal. Could have been worse, I suppose.

Bellinger back tonight. Canario down.

In the last 9 games, starters ERA is 0.88 and reliever ERA is 5.28.

Watch a UFL game this spring. They use the same basic kick off rule. The NFL will go from basically never having kickoff returns to kickoffs mattering again.

I should add that in 104.2 minor league innings over the last two seasons, Horton has struck out a ridiculous 135 batters, with a WHIP of .984.

Cade Horton, 2022 1st round pick, 22 years old, consensus Top-50 prospect, 1.10 ERA in 16.1 innings at AA this year is being promoted to AAA. He’ll make his debut in MLB before the end of the season.

Not going to lie, the Brewers always whip us in the mascot portion of the competition. Benny going down the slide already wins, but then the sausage race just runs up the score.

Newton just seems like the exact kind of player the Ravens love.

Young pitching. Players 26 or under have pitched 90/223.2 innings (40%) for the Cubs and have a combined ERA of 1.25.

The sweep of the Astros makes up for the split with the Marlins. A very solid first 25 games of the season despite all the injuries.

Right. They’re on pace for 98-99 wins right now.
