Quote of the day
"[Evan Gattis has] got a pretty cool story if you dig into it. Unfortunately I didn't dig the swing he put on it." -- Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle, after Gattis hit a pinch hit 2-run homer to propel Atlanta to a 6-4 win in PittsburghDaily blurb
Evan Gattis was undrafted in all five of the RIBC leagues. Two weeks later, with a 4-digit OPS and 12 RBI in 12 games, I suspect he should be rostered everywhere, especially as a catcher. He ranks as the #57 hitter in the ESPN player rater. Maybe it won’t last. But I’m sure he’s enjoying the ride. In the past week, I’ve gotten several emails asking about the details of the weather dashboard at dailybaseballdata.com. The underlying forecast data comes from weather.com, and you can see the site-specific details if you click on any game heading. The wind info is for the top of the hour following the game start (e.g., 8pm for a 7:30 start). I’ve even been asked if the data is accurate. It’s weather forecast data – so of course it’s not completely accurate. But that report has been getting about 5000 pageviews per day this season, more than double for the same period last year. It’s been the most active page at dailybaseballdata.com this season. |
