MLB Daily Notes: Sunday, June 5
I wrote a bit of an explanation post about these notes, so that should be helpful for anyone new to the notes that has any questions about what’s going on here. Please send me your questions on Twitter if they aren’t covered in that post.
Given that it’s Sunday, I don’t have time for the extra analysis and commentary today, here’s the dump of the notes followed by all the extra stuff for paid subs.
