To me, the biggest problem is that there doesn’t seem to be an offensive game plan. The intention seems to be to make the lineup more patient, which is a good idea on the surface. But patience just means waiting for your pitch, recognizing it, and putting your best swing on it. These hitters...

The most surprising thing about this game is that there’s 34,000 poor souls who thought that this was a worthwhile way to spend their Sunday afternoon

Nothing like giving up doubles to guys with .383 OPS

Wow, this sucks hard. The list of reasons to continue watching is getting smaller by the day…

Lol…that pitch wasn’t even close. Edit: Of course, we don’t know how the umpire called the game prior to that moment. I‘m sure there was a history. It’s just funny that he boils over on a pitch that’s clearly outside

In the sports world, the notion of pressure has a stigma, but that misses the mark most of the time. Pressure is actually a good thing, as long as it’s the motivating kind, not the paralyzing kind. It helps athletes perform with more focus and intensity. Ballclubs with a winning culture put...

So FF, Ohtani etc. were playing for a new contract when they demolished the Yankees in the WS? If what you say were true, someone would have figured that out by now and contracts for star players would be getting shorter, not longer. This team has clearly checked out. And if we‘re honest, the...

Is there a historical precedent for an offense tanking like this, going from historically great to bottom 3rd in the league within a span of 2 seasons? With the same core players, none of which are at the age where they should decline considerably? I wouldn't say it's inexplicable, but the...

Honestly, I'd rather see him get a few days rest after playing every game for years. Screw the ASG. Same for Ronald (at least keep him out of the HR Derby) Oh, and great win! Would be nice if they could apply these new-found comeback qualities to teams other than the Mets as well.

Not sure if it was posted yet, but Ronald has now passed Soto in bWAR…who is actually having a really good season. That is wild.

A very brittle ace, as we just found out. This is just one in a long line of freak injuries: broken finger after being hit by liner, broken wrist falling off a bike, previous rib fractures,… We‘re not talking about trading Randy Johnson here.

The question is: Is there someone on the AAA coaching staff good enough to teach him pitch recognition and plate discipline? If not, what are you accomplishing by sending him down? The Braves are already proving that they‘re okay with him learning on the job.

Harris, please retire. Thank you

Ozzie was a legitimate 4 WAR player until 2023. Although admittedly I never understood how he did it.

Ump just tossing a coin at this point

Will be a race against time. After some digging around (I mean asking ChatGPT), it seems like 12 weeks is a good anchor for a return to full strength. Assuming a smooth recovery and no additional muscle damage.

Wonder what that girl is thinking about her career decisions while standing there and holding the mic for a ribs-munching idiot

Of course, Holmes will pitch a1-2-3 inning, and Snit will feel like a genius

Nobody even warming up??

Wiley looks like a guy who got his first set of golf clubs for his 6th birthday
