Martinez didn’t like EDLC strutting after his HR that followed Martinez’s bush league challenge of the hit tracker knob. Boo hoo

Phillies sweep the Rays, who have now lost 5 in a row.
Texas and Tampa have stumbled a little bit heading into the break.

Yup, bummer. Almost certainly going to need surgery (already had 1).
Maybe they'll let him try to tough it out the rest of the season but this likely will happen again.
Any thoughts on what the underlying issue is? Looks like he said, “I can’t move it” to the trainer? Kind of reminds me of Tatis a couple years ago when he kept on dislocating his shoulder.
Yeah seems like something on the spectrum of Tatis.
Probably some labrum/capsule issue, his glenohumeral joint is unstable, and he keeps having these subluxation/dislocation events.
They can try to give it a few weeks to cool down and hope for the best.. but the vast majority of times if it happens twice, it’s just going to keep happening and will need surgery.
Meanwhile, WTF is this A-Rod shit from Chas McCormick last night?

Glasnow just struck out four Braves in the 2nd inning. Quick look has him as the 101st player to strike out 4 in an inning
Alex Manoah is back and has pitched well through four innings, but it is the Tigers and he has a 7-1 lead.
I haven't seen the official time, but my clock says Aaron Civale and the Guards bullpen just shut out the Royals in 1:54.
EDIT: They're allowing more time after the game before the post-game fireworks because it's not dark enough yet.

Plenty of ways to rationalize that trade (I know I certainly have done it).
But the fact that Mookie is dominating for the Dodgers (and playing a good 2B/SS too!!) is both cool and depressing to watch.
If the Red Sox could go back in time, I bet they wish they would have given him 350M or whatever it took. He is so dynamic and so good.
This Mets/Padres game has been a very expensive shit show.
Starling Marte has hit into two double plays with the bases loaded. One in the 1st inning and one in the 9th. The Padres also hit into a double play with the bases loaded. The Mets took a 7-3 lead in the 10th, but Robertson just gave up a homerun to Machado to make it 7-5.
Edit. Mets hold on. That was some awful baseball.

Umps just turned a pretty awesome game between Milwaukee and Cincinnati into a shit show.
Bad balk call with Friedl on first, Counsell came out to complain, turns to go back to his dugout and gets tossed. Chaos ensues, 5 minutes later Brian Anderson (Brewers 3B) is tossed, but nobody on the bench realized it.
At least it means Elly gets to bat again.

Mookie is buliding a big rebound year compared to 2021-22... up to 10 leadoff HRs out of 26, .971 OPS
Orlando Arcia just scored from 1st against the Rays.
This play is notable, because it was on a routine ground ball to Franco.
Rays are about to be only 2 up on Baltimore, who may be about to rule this division until about 2030.

Every single time that I watch Blake Snell be dominant, the announcers spend the entire first 5-6 innings bitching about how dumb it was for TB to take him out in the WS when they did, and seemingly every single time he loses it on the third time around the lineup, within a batter or two each way of batter 19, you could set your watch by it. For years now!!

David Ross, 1st Inning via Jomboy lipreading: "You got one goddamn game until you get a break, and you're that fucking bad already?"

A few days late in replying but he should have worn the next pitch he saw. Sometimes the old school rules do apply and he really could have caused an injury there.
For the third consecutive start, Ohtani had issues with his finger and left in the 6th inning. He wasn’t pitching great anyways and velocity was down a little. Angels are falling out of it. Rendon was put back on the IL again today.
Johan Rojas's first play in the majors

I just watched Willy Adames get himself thrown out stealing second because he put his hand on Jonathan India’s glove just before his foot touched the bag.
Whoa, that throw, also it looked like he just heaved it at the base and hoped someone would get there.
I did like the shot of Showalter shaking his head after Ottavino hit the batter on an 0-2 pitch
Brutal. FOX really going in hard with the crowd shots of disgusted fans after every Mets failure.
Brett Baty had one of the worst back to back half innings possible. He struck out with the tying run on 3rd and 1 out on 3 straight fastballs, then missed a pop up with a runner on 3rd and 1 out, allowing him to score. His WPA should be -1.0.
