    I'm not suggesting he's going to do that all season or that the Yankees are going to win the division bc he's going to hit .400.

    That said, he's got a better shot at .400 than the Sox rookie does at leading the league in OPS.

    Cards bullpen is so laughably bad.

    From @Brooksgate. 2 things make me think here. 1, overall zones have favored batters when I feel like I’ve seen giant zones all year. 2, five teams have benefitted both hitting/pitching and six teams been hurt by both. Is this bad framing? Home field calls? Predetermined player biases?

    We have years worth of examples of him being an insufferable hardo douche, but he didn’t pick this fight. He was getting touched by a fan when he was trying to field the ball in the corner right before this clip

    Salvy has 4 doubles on the day. Why is that important? Now, one of KC’s every day 1,3,4,5,6,9 hitters has an OPS north of 600.

    India - .571
    Pasquantino - .561
    Salvy - .618
    Massey - .428
    Renfroe - .378
    Isbel - .590

    Devin Williams gave up 3 to blow another save. Didn't record an out. He's rocking an 11 ERA now.

    I believe the marlins are doing it exactly like how it is done in College baseball. Catcher is wearing an ear piece that gets the pitch from the dugout who then relays it to the pitcher via pitch com. Alcantara is calling his own pitches though.

    there are 2 outcomes here. He either gets injured and flames out or becomes a star and is traded to the Dodgers in 3 years.

    Taking a look at the standings, rockies and white sox being the two worst teams doesn't surprise anyone, but third worse right now is the Orioles. Quite the fall off so far

    I can’t watch the Orioles, they just make me angry. Should be on an Astros trajectory but they fucking suck and the owner thinks he’s a celebrity when he’s done nothing. Don’t get me started on his bobbleheads of himself

    we always play absurd games out there against y’all. that 2018 game where klansby threw someone out at home to end it, the grand slam 2 years ago, tonight and the murphy homer last year. it’s like the one western time zone stadium we play with a shit in

    It’s as bad as being a Wizards fan
