Royals and Red Sox are playing a game in which they both repeatedly dare the other team to win for now 11 full innings
It’s a good thing it’s not allowed by rules or the Red Sox would try to make devers pitch, which he’s wholly uncomfortable with doing
Umps have completely botched things in the Yankees/A's game. 1st and 2nd, line drive to OF. OF dove and clearly trapped it but they called him out live. Runner from 2nd had gone on contact and scored. Runner from 1st went to almost 2b but then went back to 1st when they called him out. Now they are saying no catch and runners at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, even know the Runner from 2b scored easily.
Should have been 1st and 2dlnd with run scored bc that's what would have happened if they didn't blow the call live.

He is raw and should not be up now prob but the Dodgers love exploding guys arms so he is getting starts because a billion guys are on the IL Also, last night on the broadcast the Dback announcers said that the ball carries like crazy when the roof is open and with the right temp and the game ended 14-11 so they were right so maybe not all his fault but he needs work
His fastball is one of the worst pitches in baseball and his slider isn’t good enough. But they don’t really have much of a choice right now but to try to just work through it at the big league level.
Orioles are somehow -145 today on the road with Kyle Gibson and his 14.09 era Angels gonna save Hyde’s job for another week
Feel like people are blinded by Skenes, most pitchers need time to adjust to mlb. Dollander, Sasaki and Jobe were all top 10 prospects and all showing some signs of struggling. But look back at a guy like Skubal, whose the best pitcher in baseball, his rookie year he had a 5.63 era and had a 4.34 era year two. Logan Webb had 5+ era his first two years up. Corbin Burnes had a 8.82 era his 2nd full season. Michael King had a 7.76 era his first extended exposure to mlb. Gotta give these guys a little time to figure it out
not expecting him to be Skenes at all but his inability to throw strikes coupled with his inability to miss bats is more than just needing to adjust. I thought he had better stuff.
This has to be one of the most painful things in baseball Yoendrys Gómez, who was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Tuesday, was claimed off waivers by the White Sox today— Eric Stephen (@ericstephen.bsky.social) 2025-05-10T19:09:52.389Z
Leadoff double and this guy bunts with a guy that hasn’t bunted since college (he pops out to the plate). this is fucked up, I thought he would solve things
Watch them both get lit up Cole Ragans vs. Garrett Crochet tonight at Kauffman Stadium. Buckle up, hitters. MLB leaders in K% since 2024 (min. 30 GS): 1. GARRETT CROCHET - 33.5% 2. Chris Sale - 31.7% T-3. COLE RAGANS - 30.8% T-3. Paul Skenes - 30.8% 5. Tarik Skubal - 30.7%— Jake Eisenberg (@jakeeisenberg.bsky.social) 2025-05-10T16:49:47.172Z
i am a total boomer about this and don’t find it remotely intriguing but my wife has apparently got us tickets in charlotte so i will report back
MLB has not posted statcast data from Martin Maldonado's HR yesterday and many people are wondering why
