Under .500 now, 31-32.Rays sweep the Twins.
The Twins remain in 1st place in the Central despite now being .500.
Cleveland has been a better team on the road, at least their offense has been considerably better. Given the overall records, I'd assume it's a given they all have losing records on the road. In all of baseball, there are only 9 teams with winning road records, including just 3 in the entire NL.Another fun fact about the AL Central. Everyone has a losing road record.
Second time this season this has come up
Electric? Bard started the year on the IL with some stress/mental health issues and hasn’t been the pitcher this year that he was last year. He has walked more guys than he has struck out. His era is low but that doesn’t really work for relief pitchers.Sons of Neifi Perez is locked down, so I'm hoping someone here knows this answer: why is Daniel Bard not closing for the Rockies? He has been electric this season and the Rockies lost today because their closer spit the bit. Just curious. Maybe they're illuminated enough to save him for high-leverage situations rather than just blindly having him close?
100%. 1.50 WHIP and 5.59 FIP while walking 8.8 batters per 9 innings. He’s been lucky, not good.Electric?

Thanks guys. I got bamboozled by the ERA+.100%. 1.50 WHIP and 5.59 FIP while walking 8.8 batters per 9 innings. He’s been lucky, not good.
They're a couple of Old Hoss Radburns compared to de Grom.Scherzer and Verlander on pace for a combined 238 regular season innings for $86.666M combined, nice work if you can get it.
Cleveland wins.A little bobble by Jose Ramirez leads to the Astros retaking the lead. Bottom of the inning – Kwan bloops one into left and they make what appeared to be a poor decision to wave the runner around third... but Chaz McCormick unleashes a little league throw somewhere towards the infield. So we head to the 14th.
I'm really impressed with the opposite field power when I see highlights. And he already took the team-friendly extension.Corbin Carroll with 2 home runs, and up to a .966 OPS.
I keep forgetting he got traded to the Rockies. He obliterated the PCL hitting .356/.481/.711. Doesn't hurt that he's going from Albuquerque to Denver.Keep an eye on Nolan Jones. He had been lighting it up and had big power.

Seemed like he picked up some of that Isotopian energyI keep forgetting he got traded to the Rockies. He obliterated the PCL hitting .356/.481/.711. Doesn't hurt that he's going from Albuquerque to Denver.
Does his bat happen to look like this?Seemed like he picked up some of that Isotopian energy
Hopefully just the same thing he dealt with last year as opposed to somthing more serious.Hendriks to IL with sore elbow.
Can't catch a break.

It's not happening right now and it won't happen as long as Halos stick around, but do you think Rays would strongly consider a rental trade for Ohtani?Rays took 2 out of 3 from TX. McClanahan/Glasnow/Eflin are rock solid, Bradley is hit or miss and then they punt every 5th day. If they could add a starter at the deadline, would be huge.
Fun fact, Albuquerque is about 50 feet higher than Denver in terms of elevation.I keep forgetting he got traded to the Rockies. He obliterated the PCL hitting .356/.481/.711. Doesn't hurt that he's going from Albuquerque to Denver.
Why do you tease me like this? Hard to imagine the Rays actually being the high bidder in any kind of auction, even for a 2 month rental, but they’d definitely kick the tires on that. Seems more likely they do something less splashy, which may be all they need.It's not happening right now and it won't happen as long as Halos stick around, but do you think Rays would strongly consider a rental trade for Ohtani?
That's not necessarily so. Bieber has another year of control, which adds a fair amount of value.Shane Bieber might be available and would likely cost considerably less than Ohtani.
I mean it would screw up the source code they use to set their lineups if they had to plug in Ohtani at DH every game.Why do you tease me like this?
