Due to the tragic passing of Tyler Skaggs, Alex and I have decided it best to not record On The Corner this week. The List will be pushed to tomorrow as well.
Instead, let's watch 47 seconds of Tyler Skaggs throwing one of the prettiest curveballs in the game.
In light of recent comments in baseball that have made members of our LGBTQ+ community feel unwelcome, we are selling a new shirt today.

Zack Wheeler threw 27% more innings with an ERA only 12% worse than Corbin Burnes.
Wheeler: 2.73 ERA 213.1 IP
Burnes: 2.43 ERA 167 IP
I’m glad Wins don’t matter anymore for the Cy Young award, but I feel we’ve gone too far.
IP & ERA >>> Under-The-Hood stats for the CY IMO
Here's a supercut of the prettiest pitches thrown by Shohei Ohtani in his three inning outing today against the Brewers.
His slider is looking so good.
The Miami Marlins broadcast showed a graphic that questioned if Ronald Acuna was having a sophomore slump.
Then Acuna hit a homer on the very next pitch.
It's almost been seven years and I still can't over it.
3-2 count
5-1 game
Bases loaded
*Perfect* Chris Sale changeup down and away
Caught on his front foot
Mike Trout grand slam ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Whaaaaat.
The AppleTV broadcast discussed CSW% last night during the Phils vs Astros game and it's a dream come true.
I can't believe this stat I randomly created six years ago is now used on MLB broadcasts.
This is INCREDIBLE.
Andrew Heaney avoided the heart of the plate tonight better than I've seen anyone else this season.
There's literally zero mistake pitches down the middle.
I am absolutely devastated to hear the news of Tyler Skaggs' passing.
I'm speechless. Such sad and tragic news. My heart goes out to the Skaggs family, I cannot imagine what they are going through.
You will be missed, Tyler Skaggs.
I’ll say it again.
The Cubs got an absolute steal. I can’t believe Shōta Imanaga was signed with less AAV than Montas, Manaea, and Lugo.
Imanaga is going to be the rock so many teams want.
The Cubs are in agreement with lefty Shota Imanaga on a 4 yr, $53 million deal, sources tell ESPN. After 2 yrs, the team has the option to extend the contract to $80 million over 5 yrs. If they decline, Imanaga has the option to become a free agent. Same after third yr.
I can't stop going through the Yordano Ventura GIF archives today and I elected to make a tribute video showcasing the best pitches he ever threw.
Man, he was special.
It seems like a crime that I'm 99% certain FOX will use the RHP-side camera angle to view the two best LHP duel in the World Series tonight.
The Red Sox have one of, if not THE best home camera angle for LHP...and we won't see it.
IT'S NOT FAIR.
I challenge baseball twitter to play Winnie The Pooh Baseball. You won't win.

I know this makes no sense. Let me explain 🧵
Noooooo.
I’m happy to tell y’all that at the end of this season, we’re no longer taking any money from DFS or Sports Betting sponsorships.
No more promos, ads, or partnerships.

Commissioner Manfred says in a few years they'll have separate broadcasts focused solely on gambling analysis, each pitch, each swing, ability to bet on everything and get constant analysis.
The Astros just gave us this incredible slow-motion look at Justin Verlander's fastball mechanics during a pre-inning promo.
I think I speak for

when I say DO THIS MORE OFTEN
