Eric has a Bell to ring for the Pirates, and MB laments the unexpected decline of an important Braves hurler.

Notes:

  • Edwin Jackson is 35 years old.
  • The best record of the 162-game era is the 2001 Seattle Mariners' 116-46. This equates to a regular season NFL record of about 12-4.
  • Foltynewicz has had four starts, not three. All not great.
  • Cody Bellinger has the outright highest swing in expected wOBA from 2018 to 2019, but Dansby is a close second.
