I’m at the Dbacks game right now, and Carroll hit a three run bomb in his first ab. This is probably the 6th game I’ve come to this year, they’re a really fun team right now
Apparently, Tito isn't managing tonight because of illnessThen Barlow melts down, giving Cleveland the lead in the top of the 9th on a 2 run double by Will Brennan.
Ohtani also has 6Ks. This has been going on for years and I still can't believe what he's doing.#27 for Ohtani.
He and Acuna Jr. are easily the front runners for MVP.
I truly believe that baseball is about to enter a new Golden Age. I am glad I am still here for it.The older I get, the more I appreciate the phenoms over longevity. Amorphous definition, but Ohtani has to be the best or most talented baseball player of all time. So far as I know, anyone ever doing close to what he did, did it long before integration and this level of competition.
Also, I’m loving how fucking athletic this next generation of stars is. Baseball players can look a bit like golfers, and as great as Ortíz and Manny and Pujols were, it’s nice not feeling like you can maybe beat the best player in the game in a foot race.
This is a good point.I think it’s one of the best things to come out of social media. Not only is training and nutrition and technique advice so widely available, but everyone is just pushing the shit out of everyone world wide. Being the best in your school or your gym doesn’t matter if some kid on the other side of the world is doing it better.
It’s like Roger Bannister breaking the 4:00 mile all over the world all at once. Even just with lifting. Fucking teenagers are hitting weights that were world records ten years ago. It’s astonishing.
0.8 fWAR in one game. Absolutely absurd.How many WAR is this game worth for Ohtani? Seems like it should be approaching 1
Batting 3/3 2 HR 2 RBI 1 BB
Pitching 6.1 IP 1 ER 10 Ks
I fear he’s going to die in the uniform. Or in a team sweatshirt topApparently, Tito isn't managing tonight because of illness
Has anyone fallen this hard, this fast? I mean other than a Daniel Bard/yips situation.Tough day for Alek Manoah. Banished to A ball he gave up 11 runs over 2.2 IP. And All Star and 3rd in Cy Young voting LAST SEASON.
Blue Jays starter Alek Manoah allows 11 runs on 10 hits over 2 2/3 innings of rookie ball - The Athletic
Mark Fidrych was 2nd in the Cy Young in his rookie year at 21 and only pitched 160 more innings in his whole career. But Manoah I'm pretty sure hasn't been hurt, don't remember someone falling off that quickly without an injury involved.Has anyone fallen this hard, this fast?

You’re welcome. My ex-Tokyo Yakult Swallows closer Scott McGough was completely dominant in his last ~20 appearances, so I picked him up for fantasy and in his first outing for me…Rays with a 3 run 9th inning rally last night to beat AZ 3-2. They feel like they’re sucking wind heading into the all-star break, but managing to scrap along around .500 for the last couple of weeks.
Shut up Sad Sam Jones.Somehow Cleveland has only plated 2 of their 13 base runners today, but Zack Greinke has certainly entered the embarrassing phase of his career. It looks like he's participating in an old-timers game. 11 hits allowed and 0 strikeouts in 6 innings. Barring a Royals comeback – unlikely considering Bieber is dealing today against an anemic lineup – Greinke will drop to 1-9.
Tests were normal. He'll be back in the dugout tomorrow in Chicago. Game temps in KC the last two nights were in the 90°s and this afternoon was 100°+.Apparently, Tito isn't managing tonight because of illness
Didn't know it was there until now. That's pretty impressive. Guessing an updated version of it will eventually be the default Gameday experience.Rays beat AZ 6-1 to take 2 of 3. On to Seattle to finish this crazy 2 west coast trips in 3 weeks stretch.
Has anyone used the MLB app 3-D Gameday feature? I think watching the animation may be better than watching the actual game.
