    RIP, indeed. He was a game-changer and so many teams dreamt about landing him in their front office.

    Third base ump really screwed the Dodgers last night.

    O's are back in first place for at least one day.

    Yeah, it looks like the Yankees and Orioles are going to limp along until one of them decides to start winning on a regular basis. Yankees had two double-headers this week which is tough. They split both of them. Cashman should have gotten a starter at the deadline. Boone made another dumb-ass game-losing move today.

    Yanks always make sure you stay the full nine innings. No lead is too big right now

    HOLMES IS THE WORST!!!

    (Well, maybe second-worst.)

    They will not survive the playoffs with him, unless he becomes the Clay Holmes of April. Since then, he's been Cardiac Clay.

    He'll forever be persona non grata to Phillies fans, myself included, for blowing their spot in the World Series last year.

    Speaking of the Phillies, I went to the Phils/D-Backs game in Phoenix yesterday, and they're not looking good at all. Outside of Wheeler and (maybe) Nola, there's not much pitching to speak of. Hopefully the return of Ranger Suarez helps steady the ship, but I have my doubts.

    And the bats haven't been as good lately - they tended to mask some of the relief pitching deficiencies earlier in the season IMO, but haven't been as good lately either.

    Sounds like most other teams. Even the Dodgers have had their problems. And look at that roster.

    The Orioles have the best record and the most home runs but could only muster up one run yesterday.

    Yankees are showing that they can lose to the worst of them in Chicago.

    Pale Hose actually walked Juan Soto (6 HRs in four games) with a guy on 2nd to get to Judge who promptly deposited #43 and #300 of his career in the bullpen. He beat Kiner by around 130 games and The Bambino by 400+ ABs to get there.


    Oh, and was someone talking about behind difficult to catch Kwan? Well, Judge is at .333 with Kwan behind him at .325. Witt leads the league at .349.

    As much as I hate the Yankees, I do hope to see Judge win the Triple Crown. He is quite a talent.

    That's precisely why I post about him. It's not being a fan boy. This guy is really making history. I'd like to think true baseball fans understand how important players like him and Ohtani are to the sport.

    MLB reportedly weighing six-inning requirement for starting pitchers: How mandatory outings could work

    If this gets done, it could rival the extra-inning ghost runner for the dumbest new rule of the Manfred era.

    Terrible idea.

    Good thing we had an afternoon game because it is raining like crazy with thunder and lightning.

    I'm glad a wild pitch didn't decide a one to nothing game.

    ^^ But so-called "All-Star" Cardiac Clay did with his TENTH blown save of the year. He's just four shy of Bruce Sutter's season record.

    They are going NOWHERE with this "closer."

    Kimbrel cost us another the game before. Guess how much better both teams would be without them.

    Kimbrel has blown six saves. A mere pittance. I can't stand him, though.

    Give him four runs and one out and Kimbrel is an ace.
