it was a blast! i shamefully abandoned my scorecard after the second inning. i blame my kids and their instant pestering for things like WATER and FOOD smh

Scoreboard operator was as bad as they come tbf, don’t blame you for not wanting to keep up with the errors. Also that insanely bad initial out call we saw looked even worse on TV!

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.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 27 June 2023 19:42 (eleven months ago) link
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.

At the halfway mark and BOS (#5 in the AL East) has a marginally better record than CLE (#1 in the AL Central).

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.”

I’ve only watched the Twins play about five times this season and every single time I was kind of shocked how bad Correa looked, but I had no idea he was having such a poor season:.212/.287/.403, OPS of .690

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 (eleven months 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 (eleven months 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 (eleven months ago) link
I would have assumed Stanton was the active leader, maybe Cabrera after that.

Mike trout would have been my (boring) guess
― hrep (H.P), Saturday, 1 July 2023 01:48 (eleven months 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 (eleven months 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.

nah he's cooked
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 4 July 2023 21:24 (eleven months 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.

some of these guys are definitely having good seasons but it's getting kinda silly isn't it? at the very least, if players are going to keep bowing out at the rate they are, there's no reason for each team to have 6 additional roster spots anymore.
