This leaves off his 1st start, too:

yeah, he's having a really good season that's going under the radar, for several reasons. he's been great.

The Red Sox are 3 back of the 3rd playoff spot.  They are playing atrocious baseball. Their games before the trade deadline are:

1 blue jays

1 Astros

4 guardians

3 brewers. 
 

if they went something like 2-7 in those 9 games and were 6 or 7 back with 60 or so to play- what are the odds they become sellers? 
Xander and JD Martinez both in their walk year and I’d think they both could bring back some pretty decent talent. I guess your negotiation is slightly worse if they end up somewhere else for 2 months, but if handled right it wouldn’t have to be a deal breaker.

I never get tired of media members just completely grasping for ways to complement players who really suck.  This is an all-timer:

Yermin Mercedes is such an awful C that Kapler wouldn't even let him catch the final 2 innings the other night. He plays mostly LF now, which is exactly as bad as it sounds.

Come on, show some respect.  Mookie is now tied with the immortal Adam Lind for 357th all time.

2-run yack by Balt in bot 8 to go up 6-3. 

First two on for Yanks in top 9.

The Angels are now 16 under .500.   This has to be one of the worst season crashes ever, right?

Alex Manoah looks like the pitching version of Rowdy Tellez, I’d bet either would be hell in a bar fight.

[shadow_operative 15932]

Manoah's mic'd up inning was the highlight of the all star game.

To be fair, most of em are OL in the NFL.

That's a huge mofo, but yeah, the moxie ( and stuff) sets him apart too.

It is cold as shit in Cooperstown during Spring Training might be one reason. But it is gorgeous in July. 

Took my son a few years ago. Every fan should visit.

I agree with that. Or do it during the day of. Make it a true celebration of baseball.

Damnit, Romine!

NYY moved 2B Gleyber Torres to LF for a 4 man OF to defend Adley Rutschman … who hit a deep fly over Torres.  Torres recovered in time to drop the ball near the fence.  E-4 .. or E-Boone?

When I saw that, I immediately remembered talking to Paul last year and me saying something about "dumbasses who won't get vaxxed."   Whoops.

Also, the Cardinals will be without another dude (Oviedo?) whose passport is expired.  Good job, good effort.

Gonna be really interesting if Toronto can make the playoffs and win a series or two.

2 outs and 1B open … so Kremer gets cute and serves up a belt high, center cut, spinner.  Hopefully, no one was killed when that bomb landed …

The shift is unbeatable.  It should be outlawed.

The euphemistic interpretation of this is funnier than it should be.

Yep .. but, today’s was the first game in a long time that they were never in it.  Suppose they were due to lay an egg.

Judge is amazing. Yanks are playing great ball. 

Yep, I said it.

Have it instead of the fucking all-star game.

Name the teams, of course and honor them, but then do the HOF inductions on Tuesday night.
