Yeah they'll need to find replacements for all of the Astros. 

Why don't they build the whole plane out of Astros?

There are waaaaaaaay too many guys making the ASG already without adding a 29-yo spare who has finally strung together 3 good months to start a season. 

Meant to ask yesterday, who all are we adding to the Bryan LaHair All-Stars this year? Trevino is the easy first nominee.

Brandon Drury is having a hell of a year so far.  

Someone pointed out that the DBacks infield could be Goldschmidt, Jazz Chisholm, Dansby Swanson, and Drury.

Eh that’s what they get for beating the Yankees like right after 9/11. That should’ve been the MLB equivalent of the bonfire game

O’s 4-2 over Cubs.  Nine straight W and .500

What a great first half! Hope they close it out above. 500

[Helobious 9481]

Yankees blow a 3-0 lead in the 9th and lose. To the Reds.

Crazy. Every team in the AL East is .500 or higher.

But I was told Holmes was the greatest pitcher in the history of pitchers?  And that the Yankees could never lose 3 in a row?

Astro’s Espada has to be high on their list

Wow, pretty solid cult KC's got going in the clubhouse.

I wonder what the Royals' copper bracelet budget is like?

this isn't about right and left.  this isn't about right and wrong.  this is about selfishness and stupidity.

[shadow_operative 15932]

i'd love to hear the KC training staff tell these guys, "hey, we've done our own research, and we don't think you guys need to run, lift weights, take BP, do fielding drills, or take care of your bodies anymore. yes, "science" shows that doing these things will make you better at baseball, but y'all have to respect that we have the right to do our own research and come to our own conclusions. no more training of any kind, for any of you."

Any team with playoff aspirations are going to be hesitant to trade for Benintendi or any  unvaccinated players because of a potential matchup with Toronto in the playoffs. Royals management has to be pissed.

[ztejas 43266]

Toronto has the 3rd best odds to win the AL still. Maybe that's why.

Hopefully this is another Cheddar Bob moment

Would be amazing to bump this in 3 months with Tor knocking NYY out in the ALDS

Well they don’t start today, and when they do the jays will long be buried. They’re in utter collapse.

At least they’re not currently  on a 3 game losing streak

A 4-game series against the Omaha Storm Chasers should stop that utter collapse.

Holmes or Gonsolin? Because I think we have been told both are the best ever!

[WBT 20422]

The O's are looking to match the Mariners in getting to 10 in a row.  Up 4-1 on the lovable losers.

Quote

"It's an individual choice," manager Mike Matheny said. "The organization's done a real good job bringing in professionals and experts to talk guys through tough conversations and then put it in their hands to make the decisions they believe is best for them and their families."

The only vaccinated outfielder on the Royals' active roster is Edward Olivares.

These guys are dropping about 2.5% of their annual paycheck on this, so  I'm sure they know what they're doing!

And they're out of Cs too. Gonna be Sebastian Rivero & some dude that has zero business being there.

Full StL meltdown in progress on MLBN.

… 10 straight, 1 over .500

[shadow_operative2.0 15834]

Hanser Alberto, of course.

That was quite the easy bot 9. 

[Helobious 9481]

Yanks win an abortion of a game against the reds, 7-6. Walk off wild pitch in the 10th. Great teams find ways to win.

[Beau Vine 54003]

The Angels' crowd is chanting M-V-P with Ohtani at the plate.  How cute.
