My Top 200 2027 Starting Pitcher Rankings are live! I gave myself a limit of blurbs for the first 100+ starting pitchers. I added a fun feature this year: Stat boxes! View a ton of data on the pitcher by clicking "View Stats". pitcherlist.com/top-200-star…

Our PL Podcast mock draft series continues with @InThePenPod as they discuss where the relievers fell on the board and talk strategy for jumping into the position. @IAmRickGraham and @jakecrumpler also outline some early reliever news before free agency youtu.be/WY0T8G90Czs

MLB has proposed delaying a possible salary cap until 2028 and raising the ceiling and floor of said cap. Steve Drumwright (find him on Bluesky) has the latest details and the background you need as the two sides negotiate. pitcherlist.com/mlb-lockout/

This is the new stat box! Movement and Locations tabs + LHB/RHB splits. Lets me talk less about stats and more about meaning.

It wasn't a fluke. They beat some of the best teams along the way and did it definitively. As Steve Drumwright (find him on Bluesky) recaps, the Brewers are World Series champions for the first time in their 58-year history. pitcherlist.com/world-series…

Maybe the little things are just manifesting in ways we didn't expect. As Steve Drumwright (find him on Bluesky) writes, the Rays capitalized on a 12th-inning error to upend the Brewers and stay alive by winning Game 4 of the World Series. pitcherlist.com/world-series…

Game 3: Double-digit blowout to go down 3-0 Game 4: Come back in their final frame to win in extras. This is the 2004 Red Sox playbook.

Rumor has it: "small ball" is just what baseball needs in an era dominated by pitching. Yet, as @C_B_Barnett argues, weak contact exacts an offensive tax of its own. pitcherlist.com/the-contact-…

We discussed Gasser at the tail end of OTC this week. @SamulskiNYC currently has Gasser 53 spots ahead of me and makes his case for why I'm too low on him
Every Milwaukee Brewers pitcher from game three of the World Series⬇️ Robert Gasser (MIL) tossed six shutout innings and struck out three to pick up the win and put the Brewers one win away from the World Series title
