“The sound alone is awful” *plays the replay 6 times*

Seriously if he even becomes league average with the bat he will be so, so good

With Esteban Mejia, who could be as good or better than those four, lurking. Could be in AA to start 2027 if 2026 goes well.

Brewers should get credit for an extra loss for not beating Blake Treinen

I got sucked into the Whatnot wormhole and came out with Jordan Sanchez Bowman 1st’s and a bunch of other shit I didn’t need

This feels like it was a week ago

90’s hitters didn’t fill themselves to the brim with steroids to have all these guys bunting

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

My unborn child crossed his arms and said “Rivaskanda Forever”

Pulling Skubal feels even more big-brainy than pulling Kirby

Pull Kirby so Carpenter faces a lefty. Homers anyway. Brutal.

Beyond the obvious guys like Skenes and Skubal, there’s very few guys I’d love to see in an Orioles uniform more than him. Love the cut of his gib. No-nonsense strike thrower with stuff of the gods.

Josh Naylor this year

a new gender emerges

I once choked away a game of ping pong because I got nervous

Dodgers Spanish translator with that absolute shit on

Oh my god what just happened

That 2-2 pitch to Alex Call, whose pinch runner scored the tying run:

If you can get to a bullpen that’s been shaky at best and awful at worst, you have to do it

On the other side of the coin, I will be surprised if Enrique Bradfield Jr. hits more than 10 homers in his MLB career Contact-oriented hitters generally have slower bat speeds though, so it’s not necessarily a huge red flag or anything

Yankees reached their absolute ceiling IMO. They lost Soto and got 8.1 fWAR out of Bellinger and Grisham. Rodon was awesome. Stanton had an OPS over .900. Jazz went 30/30. Judge stayed healthy. Cole got hurt and the bullpen was iffy at times but pretty much everything else went right.

"This is not a swing you're gonna teach, like, 'Oh that's how you hit a baseball' " We know, Smoltzy, it's Myles Straw

Anthony Volpe trying his darndest to be a one true outcome type of hitter

Me watching BattleBots in the late 90’s

This is part of why I was okay with letting Santander walk. His bat speed and numbers against high velo started to slip last year and continued to decline this year.

Bowman Chrome boxes were a slight dud but I did get a Wilfri!

Elias has gone way too far to the other side of the spectrum of course, but having payroll flexibility to this degree *is* very nice

Red black and white Chevy, now I’m riding Deion Put them lights up in my rims, now I’m riding neon open.spotify.com/track/0yJhNV...

I want to be salty and petty but this is absolutely insane

Very grateful that these Yankees have ditched traditions of generations past (steamrolling everyone in the playoffs) and created new ones of their own (underperforming and making an ass out of themselves defensively)

You ever see videos of people eating like 3-4 taser deployments without being bothered That’s my dog with calming treats

He’d be totally fine. I’m still trying to will the Edwin Diaz dream into reality so we can have a flame-throwing closer with a cool entrance again but they’re not going to fork over top dollar and a pick for a closer. I’d like the ‘pen packed with stuff/velo freaks if possible.

If you can throw a baseball 104 miles per hour you can do whatever the hell you want

Bryson Stott is not a bad enough hitter for the Phillies to throw an out away with a bunt for

Dodgers Bullpen Feel It Happen

I used Bobby Thomson and Ralph Branca on Immaculate Grid on back to back days without even realizing it holy shit

Blake Snell is an elite generator of swings on pitches outside the zone Phillies have the third highest chase rate in baseball this year and just the 15th highest wOBA against pitches outside the zone If Snell pitches how he did against the Reds, the Phillies could have some issues

This shit is so embarrassing lol

PLAKATAAAAAAAAAAA

Movement profile of the fastball/split is actually not too dissimilar to that of fellow over-the-topper Felix Bautista, though Felix used a sinker as his primary fastball instead of the four-seam

Yankees doing what they do best (just enough not to get Aaron Boone fired)

UNBEATEN IN OUR LAST SEVEN. 💪🚆

Take my hamstrings

Not sure if anyone could’ve truly thrived in this situation but holy shit is Ange crashing out in record pace

JULIOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WELP

God I love watching George Kirby pitch when he’s cooking. Posted Stuff+ numbers of 104, 109, and 101 in his last three reg. season starts and appears to have the goods early on tonight.

Kinda want to see the Dodgers take the lead just to see how their bullpen reacts to it

3 whiffs and a 72.9 MPH groundout off of 5 changeups in the first inning Not the worst!
