So far I’m right on Hader. Astros kind of a mess right now. Guess its still early, but building themselves into a hole.

Between injuries and variances year to year it seems like paying relief pitching is really a luxury on a few franchises can afford to gamble on.

Jackson Holliday heads back down after hitting .059

Baseball is hard.

I'll be interested to see how bad it has to get for Chourio before the Brewers consider a similar move. His batting average is about to dip below .200

Genius move for all involved. If he's good, he can make a bunch of $ in NIL as a man amongst boys and get a degree.

Came for the Skenes highlights, stayed for 3 different Pirate pitchers combining to walk SIX batters with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 5th inning. Combined with an RBI single, they turned a 6-1 lead into an 8-6 deficit - and still ended up winning (LOL Cubbies).

Did it seem like a lot of those pink bats broke yesterday? It was crazy how Carpenter's broke before it even hit the ball, and I saw at least 2 more break just watching the Brewers and catching a few highlights. Probably gotta be careful how fast you churn out bats for a marketing thing like that if you're going to compromise on quality. Some of those were practically live spears.

ETA: NVM, Carpenter wasn't using a pink bat. My bad.

Worth a sub this month to The Athletic alone. Tons of useful info in here.

I'm happy for Pirates fans tbh, they deserve something good for a change. I won't be happy when we have to face him though.
