I miss Lou Pineiella just because of this kind of fukery

There havent been any high velocity guys to throw no hitters this year which is fairly interesting. I think Rodon might be the hardest thrower of the group so I do think some of this is on hitters approach especially players who dont have great power need to get back to a contact, slap the other way

Ichiro mighta hit .400 right now

If you've been siting around, coming up with some crazy scenario for a double play, and then say to yourself "that'll never happen", watch a Yankees game, it probably will.

Pitching has progressed so much over the past decade, while hitting has regressed immensely

We’re a little over a quarter into the season, and there’s only 20 hitters above .300 on the year

Meanwhile, home runs have been going crazy, even the giants are hitting home runs again.

Baseball has tuned into a 3 true outcome sport

Giants have been a surprise.

Giants rolling out guys like Gausman, Alex Wood, Descalifini and Cueto and are killing it. Even after their 18 runs today, I dont think their offense has a player hitting over .280 but that pitching staff is being dominant. Jake McGee has blown like 3 saves in the last week or two or they would be a couple games better

Pitching and defense still matters
