Ohtani is 1-5 if you're wondering

I think the Rockies were mathematically eliminated by the second week of the season.

The @Angels are the only MLB team in the modern era to score 20+ runs over a span of 2 innings.— OptaSTATS (@OptaSTATS) June 25, 2023

in terms of margin of defeat this would rank as the second-worst broncos loss of the last two years and the fifth-worst nuggets loss of the last two years. the rockies are a baseball team and the game’s barely half over pic.twitter.com/F7hWlt8Ltm— Jon Bois (@jon_bois) June 25, 2023

I don't know what's more bizarre: the 23 runs in four innings, or two relievers with ERAs both over 10.00 holding them to two runs over the next five innings (and throw in Ohtani going 1-7, too).

k nobody asked but I want to post about seeing the Cubs-Cards in London today! I’m putting this shit behind a hide tag so you can opt in to read this shit.- it was hot AS fuck- user Fizzles ended up coming as a ph for my better half (sick!) and was on the receiving end of both me and user Tracer Hand telling him about all our faves past and present at a pre-game drink- were talking about Ichiro and saw a guy in a Mariners Ichiro jersey and Yankees cap (?) I looked delighted, he looked back at me, I was like, love Ichiro & he smiled huge and was like, legend - more of this scintillating banner to follow- shirts from every fanbase represented, Cubs mainly Swanson, Rizzo, Bryant, Stroman. Saw a TON of Stroman Blue Jays (ok ten but that’s a lot! Too bad he pitched like shit today). Cards were mainly Arenado (by a mile???), a few Yadi & Pujols. Saw quite a few Dodgers Bellinger shirts.- the game itself? Why I’m glad you asked! Cubs started out strong, but then Stroman fell off, Cubs defence made some absolute dogshit plays, Cards ground through the bullpen in pretty short order. - some pretty weird errors/dogshit plays not ruled as errors. Arenado had an absolutely awful throw at one point that led to a run scoring and I was like, REALLY NOLAN YOU HAVE TEN GOLD GLOVES- Hoerner had the sweetest play in the 8th, a beauty of a catch and slide to get a runner to 1st.- Nootbaar got huge huge cheers every time he stepped up. - Stroman got the biggest cheer on the Cubs team, which surprised me? Though he has been dealing for them during his time there.- also user Tracer Hand bought me some crackerjack like in the song, do you see what he did there- Contreras got booed constantly, lmao. - morel is a baby! One of his fun scoreboard facts was that he celebrated his 24th birthday yesterday by getting three hits and an rbi :)- Contreras responded to the boos by going 4-4, have to hand it to that heel.- Liberatore Not Great on the mound, got pulled after giving up 4 runs but Cards bullpen managed to only allow 1 run for the last six innings- Cody Bellinger didn’t start but they put him in the third & he went 1-3. Love that little stoner- speaking of little stoners, had my giants cap on, man on the way out wearing a Giants cap tipped his cap to me, I did the same back, then he walked past and I noticed he was wearing 55 and I went, no lie, THAT’S TIMMY THAT’S MY BOY! I would like to blame this on sunstroke or dehydration rather than the fact that I’m not capable of being normal about Tim Lincecum in public- the queue for the water fountains was about ten years long, talked to about twenty different people in the queue, lovely crowd- saw a man in a Kerry Wood shirt on the way to the train, but he disappeared into the crowd before I could give him props. Lucky escape for the fan of King K!- tl;dr A DAMN FINE DAY WATCHING AMERICA’S PASTTIME IRL

Glad you all had a good time! There is nothing quite like watching a game live. My youngest and I went to the Twins-Braves last night, had a fantastic time notwithstanding the traffic clusterfuck getting in and out of the ballpark

I don't think you can count out the Phillies, Dodgers and Giants either
Based on the way they are playing now, I would not count the Braves out at all. They look like the strongest NL contender to win the pennant.

Both The Athletic and 538 have the Braves as the best team in baseball right now; Sports Illustrated has them #2.

mlb.com has them at #2 in their power rankings, just under the Rays. I expect Fox Sports will have them at #1 in their next rankings.

I listened to this story half awake on the podcast Baseball Isn’t Boring yesterday and it still seems really fucking wild to me:
Part of today's @BBisntBoring podcast was talking to Kenley Jansen about Rob Manfred's handling of the Astros' cheating scandal. Listen to Kenley's take ...➡️https://t.co/LIvjwINgfe pic.twitter.com/mNpUY3TfGF— Rob Bradford (@bradfo) June 28, 2023
“I feel like that was my best season that I ever had in my career,” Jansen said. “I dominated the whole year, I dominated the playoffs and the Houston Astros were the only ones who put the ball in play. And it’s over with, you know, you can’t change stuff, but what we can do is appreciate when someone steps up and comes forward and is accountable for what they did.”According to WEEI, Cora did just that “the minute” Turner, Hernandez and Jansen arrived for spring training in Fort Myers, Fla. Cora told WEEI that Turner approached him afterward and said, “I’m glad you did this.”“I think it meant a lot,” Turner told WEEI of the meeting. “It was good to hear and good to wipe our hands clean and move forward.”

Mookie 2hrs in 2abs. One more and he breaks the record for most 3hr games. Would not have guessed of all active players, he is the one currently tied for first for this milestone.
― hrep (H.P), Saturday, 1 July 2023 00:49 (one year ago) link
Insane this 5’9 man is 40~ hr’s off Bonds at the same point in his career, with Mookie being a season of AB’s behind due to 2020+ a later rookie call-up. Absolutely spoilt as a dodgers fan
― hrep (H.P), Saturday, 1 July 2023 00:57 (one year ago) link
*that 40~ number contingent on him making another 17 hr’s on top of his 22 already hit this year
― hrep (H.P), Saturday, 1 July 2023 00:59 (one year ago) link
I would have assumed Stanton was the active leader, maybe Cabrera after that.

― hrep (H.P), Saturday, 1 July 2023 01:48 (one year ago) link
Well it ain’t three hr’s, but he’s 3-3 with a walk in the 6th inning. Possibility of one more chance
― hrep (H.P), Saturday, 1 July 2023 01:52 (one year ago) link
Surprisingly, Stanton's never done it; Cabrera, a couple of times.

Padres DFAed Nelson Cruz, RIP Nelly, I’ll always remember the time you hit a solo shot in game 5 2010 WS to rob Tim Lincecum of a scoreless outing. In all seriousness, I’d like if the Mariners could pick him up, the DH situation has been bad and he would be an upgrade on at least two of the spots there.

― mookieproof, Tuesday, 4 July 2023 21:24 (one year ago) link
Six walks against 46 K's, he's not catching up to anything, he's gotta be done.
That said, his career was 1000X better than I would have ever expected, late bloomer low-OBP sluggers with poor defense is not a recipe for aging well, but he kept improving and was a lot more productive in his 30's than in his 20's. He hit 464 HR's, had a reputation as a winner and a respected locker room leader, and was still mashing into his early 40's.
