Well at least the Yankees are first in something.

[Scraps 13565]

Baltimore is shameful

Tampa is....well St. Pete

[Beau Vine 54256]

The Colorado number is the most impressive on that list.

[Helobious 9462]

Judge with the first 3 homer game of his career tonight

[WBT 20618]

Yankees avoid their first 10 game losing streak since 1913.  That's impressive.

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

Cincy’s best rookie crushes LAA.

Tip of the cap to Oakland. Exceeded 5k in attendance for a day game against the royals today.

outdrew night games the previous two nights. Wonder what kind of promotion they had (I’d assume some kinda of regular Wednesday Bay Area feeding the homeless/dollar dog day and just happened a ballgame was going on, but staying away from that one)

[tx 3 putt 77093]

Shohei Ohtani got imaging done that revealed a torn UCL, per @JeffFletcherOCR 

He won't pitch again this season

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

Or next if that’s true. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

His agent may have just hung himself. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

So what does a 29-year old David Ortiz go for? Obviously speed is quite a bit different, but Papi didn’t pitch either.

Ohtani to Yankees confirmed.

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

194-212 when Trout & Shohei both start. 

And Trout dies again after one whole game.

Ain’t real for awhile, Elly.

Pretty tragic. He should bite the bullet and get TJ ASAP. Moreno would for sure give him a 2 year deal for a healthy 6 months. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

36/119/82 games for Trout since ‘Rona. What the hell is he going forward?

A lot of teams will be willing to eat a rehab season. 

[Don Johnson 4754]

This will be Ohtani's second TJ surgery won't it?  Totally different animal.

[Helobious 9462]

It was cute while it lasted but Ohtani needs to give up pitching.

According to writer Jon Roegele’s exceptional Tommy John surgery list, 148 players have undergone UCL reconstruction more than once. Only 87 have returned to play at any level in the major leagues. Even accounting for the nine who had their second surgery this year and therefore could not reasonably be back yet, those odds aren’t great.

Has anyone heard from @Gil Bang? We’ve all experienced some kind of loss and this is a safe space you.

But really what are his FA terms going to be.  I can't see the Dodgers dropping 8 years $500 mil or whatever on an unknown arm.  But who knows.

Lulz at contract not insured. 0% chance that’s true

Lots of contracts are uninsured. The premiums are exorbitant for players with an extensive injury history. Often they are uninsurable. And Strasburg certainly fit into that high risk category.

Who the hell do you think is dumb enough to write an affordable policy on that guy's health?

[Helobious 9462]

Someone was dumb enough to insure Ellsbury’s contract

[Sbbruin 21861]

Mookie with 7 hits in 2 games today.  Played RF in the first and 2B in the second.  Love me some Mookie.

Saw this on ESPN

Quote

The right-hander has not pitched since June 9, 2022 -- his only start that season, which lasted 4⅔ innings before he went back on the injured list. He has thrown only 528 pitches in the majors since signing a $245 million, seven-year contract in December 2019 

That's like 6 games worth of pitches, lulz. Works out to just under $500K per pitch. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

Ho lee fuk, anyone see that ‘baserunning’ by Ari? Bases loaded, no outs, ball short hops the RF wall, they score one.

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

2 runs in top 8 for Cincy to take the lead. Hope that circus costs Ari this game. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16006]

Nope, 2-run yack by Carroll in bottom half.

Was working in Houston with a client this week. Forgot today was a day game. Was taking my intern to grab lunch before driving home. Got sideswiped by a sweet Mercedes. Spent two hours sitting waiting for HPD. Got to watch all the Astros fans leaving the stadium early. My view from the crash scene. 

Damn, if I had gone to the game, no wreck! Then we got stuck in Katy traffic.

Why would you wait longer than 20-30 mins for the cops to show up? It’s not a crime scene. I’ve called, left a call back number, went home and had them show up and do the report there. Worst case if they never call back you don’t need absolutely need a police report. It just helps.

He wanted it since she tried to boogie off. Intern is a young kid and was following the book. I sat back, watched the fans leave and watched the game on my phone. Every time I have gone to Minute Maid to see the Sox they have won. I think this counts as being there. Right?

Did you pop champagne afterwards too? Meaningless regular season wins seem to be pretty huge deals to you guys
