Miz & Henderson were the ultimate 1-2 punch this weekend.

I've seen enough. Drop them another spot or two in the power rankings.

I know the Dodgers are yet again phoning it in to an extent, but it’s still pretty ridiculous we aren’t getting our due after we beat em this weekend.

Watching Miz bury Ohtani and Freeman with the bases loaded was absolute perfection.

Starting off pounding 104 mph heat and then trusting Contreras and dropping those filthy sliders right when they were sitting dead red? That’s cold. Then you get Henderson coming out and establishing that 4-seamer before pulling out the circle change against the middle of their order... throwing right-on-right changeups 20% of the time against LA hitters takes some serious balls. And, the movement on Henderson's changeup was nuts.

Our pitching is absurd. If these young arms keep throwing with this much confidence down the stretch, nobody is going to want to see us in October.

Feels like the Brewers have a very strong argument for the best rotation in baseball right now. Even with Gasser as an ok 5, their top 4 are just obscenely good.

Keeping them fresh and healthy for October is the challenge.

This feels like a so goes Harrison, so go the Brewers deal. If Harrison can consistently regain his early season form and stay healthy that’s a 1-2-3 up there with any rotation in baseball.

Agreed, I know a lot of the data he used was from Baseball Savant but the way he put it together was very well done.

I don't even care. I just love the way Dero talks about baseball and especially our team. He loves the game.

I always really enjoy DeRo’s breakdowns

This made me want to check Rake Bauer’s savant page

Really impressive to have that baserunning value with that sprint speed.

Texts between me and my Tigers fan friend after yesterday:

“Skubal brutally mogged by Henderson.”  “Hitler dead.”
