Hosts: Brett Ford | Scott Chu This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett dive into the Top 150 Hitters List, including the players who have risen the most this week and the ones that have tumbled down Scott's rankings. Are players who are out-kicking their coverage like Ozzie Albies and Munetaka Murakami sell-high candidates or should managers be holding as long as the production is still there. Other managers are being held hostage by stars that aren't producing up to their potential – like Fernando Tatis Jr. – and there really isn't much that they can do. Managers could never just drop them and a trade would get pennies on the dollar. Scott and Brett discuss the best path forward and more on this episode of Hacks & Jacks.

The Approach Angle Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) talk about different versions of game score. They start by talking about the theory behind the original game score, which was created by Bill James. That leads to the second version of game score, developed by Tom Tango, where the two talk about the philosophical differences in what a game score is meant to capture. Then they talk about how Kyle went about creating his version of the game score and what he wanted to get out of it. They extensively discuss the crowd-sourced rankings and how it applies to the letter grades with the pitch cards. Finally, they conclude with ideas for stats to include in a "start watchability" index.

Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde discuss the 1958 baseball movie musical, "Damn Yankees." They introduce the film (1:10), with an overview of the story, the cast, and filmmakers, and review the 20-80 baseball scouting grades for rating the film, with a new metaphor (6:57). Quick promos for "Cryptid" and the podcast "Sometimes it Rains" (13:47). Amount of Baseball (16:09) is helped by early baseball and a good montage, but there's not a ton here. Baseball Accuracy (23:15) kicks off with some debate on the central premise and impact on score, umpire razzing, and Joe's inconsistent baseball opinions. Does Shoeless Joe Jackson exist in the world of this film? Some Kansas City baseball timeline problems, the six months out of every year fallacy, and goulash vs. Willie Mays. They dive in on Carlos Paula, Angel Scull, Joe Black,the integration of the Washington Senators, and a brief racial history anecdote with the Twins. A Washington Senators overview and look at pennant-less droughts throughout baseball history. How often do you need to hit a homer to save a losing ball club, w/r/t the 1957 Senators pitching rotation. Accuracy in the song "Heart," plus newspaper accuracy. Storytelling (1:01:21) dives in on the confusing terms of the deal with the devil, and who Joe Hardy actually is. "Who's Got the Pain?" These scouts, I guess. They also discuss Joe Hardy's HOF case, games missed in the storytelling, problems with singing a song and writing a letter simultaneously, and songs removed and added from the Broadway version. How old is Lola? How superb is Gwen Verdon in "Whatever Lola Wants"? They wrap up with "Two Lost Souls," Sister Miller's name, the costume design, Mr. Applegate's particular scope of power, and the flatness of the cinematography. The Score Tool (1:42:20) considers the tunes and scoring of Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. Acting (1:44:00) discusses chiefly the performances of Tab Hunter, Gwen Verdon, Ray Walston and Jean Stapleton, with some discussion of the ensemble and the impact of the cast carrying over from the Broadway run. Delightfulness of Catcher (1:50:19) assesses the character of Smokey, played by Nathaniel Frey. Delightfulness of Announcer (1:53:42) sees a short debate on its existence. Lack of Misogyny (1:55:34) considers wives singing about their husbands' obsessions with baseball as they wait around to be noticed, undermining Sister Miller's baseball fandom, and 1001 issues with "Goodbye Old Girl" and "Empty Chair." There are Misogyny issues with Gloria and Applegate, too. Marie Antoinette injustice. They wrap up with the missing songs' impact on this tool, and Joe and Meg's reunion. No spoilers on the following segments: Yes or No (2:17:20), Six Degrees of Baseball (2:22:00), Favorite Moment (2:24:26) Least Favorite Moment (2:26:20), Scene We Would Have Liked to See (2:28:22), Dreamiest Player (2:30:27), Favorite Performance (2:31:10), and Next Time (2:33:06).

The Shallows EP 012 - The Trading Post Erik Hinrichsen and Carson Picard navigate through The Shallows, starting with the Captain's Report detailing injuries to Garret Crochet, Brandon Woodruff, and Trevor Rogers, as well as the future outlook for former number one overall pick Travis Bazzana, position eligibility updates for Fernando Tatis Jr, Ivan Herrera, and Sal Stewart, and how Cade Cavalli became the second pitcher this season with back-to-back double-digit strikeout games...so does that make him worthy of a pickup? Speaking of worthy, the guys then discuss if the hot starts from players like Moises Ballesteros, Carlos Cortes, Ildemaro Vargas, Liam Hicks, and Landon Roupp are worthy of those starts in a fun twist on "is it legit." Finally they visit the trading post to decide if players such as Bubba Chandler, Nathan Eovaldi, and Oneil, among others off to hot or cold starts, are worth buying or selling.

Wins Above Fantasy – Van Burnett (@Van_Verified) Steve Gesuele (@stav8818) break down early-season barrel rate trends now that batted ball data has begun to stabilize. They revisit last year's approach—starting with barrel rate and layering in supporting metrics like pull air%, hard-hit rates, and plate skills—to identify 2026 standouts, underperformers, and year-to-year improvers. The episode focuses on hitters making meaningful skill changes (stance, swing decisions, contact quality), and what those changes might mean for fantasy value going forward.

The Approach Angle Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) are joined by Sara Sanchez to talk about park factors. The discussion starts with the group talking about what goes into park factors and what they actually mean. They discuss how specific factors, such as HR or strikeout factors, can be more important than the overall factor at times. They also talk about how the weather can get baked into some park factors and ignored in others (such as the wind in Wrigley). Next, they get into how players prepare and adapt to different parks, both offensively and defensively. Finally, Kyle explains how park factors get integrated into daily & weekly projections, and Sara talks about how controlled environments in domes is good for pitchers.

The Approach Angle Nate Schwartz (@_nateschwartz) and Kyle Bland (@blandalytics) talk about what goes into wRC+ and why it's a strong, all-encompassing hitter stat. They start by discussing wOBA—the basis for wRC+. It's an important hitting stat that values outcomes in a slightly stronger way than OPS. Surprisingly, the under-the-surface nuances are more understandable for wOBA than OPS. They transition into talking about how wRC+ includes factors such as league environment and park factors, making it a useful contextual tool for any hitter. Additionally, they discuss how the single number can be useful for analyzing player quality but can miss some fantasy-specific stats. Finally, they discuss any gaps in wRC+ and how stable it is. Process+ is also mentioned as an effective tool to predict wRC+ both in-season and across seasons.. Articles discussed: Weighted On Base Average or wOBA, Tom Tango; Guts!, Fangraphs; DRC+: Updates and Improvements, Jonathan Judge; What is Process+?
