I kinda root for the White Sox, in an underdog kinda way. If Benentendi and Robert can maintain some power, that should bode well.

Yankees game was bizarre. Five errors, but a million home runs to make up for it.

My White Sox sadly no longer on track for a 162-0 season. But we still have the 6th highest scoring offense in the league, despite a two-hit shutout loss! And the 2nd best run differential in a per game basis! WOOOOOOO!

Pretty sure well go undefeated the rest of the way.

And just like that, were back to a losing record. This feels like home. Its comfy.

On a side note, I feel bad for our grounds crew. Theyre semi-going-viral for the pics of them not covering 1st base during the rain delay, but with a ton of notice that a massive storm was coming through, the umps really waiting until after the downpour and hail starting coming down, with accompanying 60+ mph wind gusts. With wind like that, you cant really unfurl the tarp.

Mock the players and the team all you want, but that grounds crew doesnt deserve any shade for what happened.

I only saw some highlights, but yeah, the rain (and hail, IIRC) didn't make it a pretty sight. The multiple tarps of all shapes and sizes would certainly make it look like a cobbled-together effort -- to the uninitiated viewer, anyway.

I just don't know if dropping him this early would be a bad idea or not. I do have Christopher Morel in Tampa that I can toss into 3B and bench Devers for awhile and see how he does, but fuck me.

The Reds have a lot of good youngsters, including some in the minors, so hopefully we can get an Orioles-tier resurgence.

Elly made sense to pick early given that SS offensive upside is in somewhat short supply. I picked up in the first round (7th overall pick), Bobby Whit Jr. went 3rd overall.

Matt McLain was honestly just someone who I heard might be pretty good and could slot into 2B or SS when either Elly or Jose Altuve (my main 2B) were sitting. I got him round 14. >_>

The torpedo bat is what this game needs! Pitchers have been far too dominant as of late, this gives them yet something else to account for and adjust to. I love it.

kind of just the life of relievers, a lot of them just have short shelf lives, and Bednar's stuff was never really top class anyway

kinda funny but the foolish baseball guy did his annual "5 players I dislike for this season" for 2024 and he picked Bednar as one of his guys and he's been terrible ever since.

I want the Dodgers to dominate in the regular season and then lose out straight in the playoffs. Just because fuck 'em.

I don't even really HATE the Dodgers, I hate super teams. I hate that professional sports leagues don't have both a salary cap and a salary floor. Dodgers are paying 330 million in payroll. Jays are 5th highest in the league and are at 243 million. Then you have 6 teams under 100 million.

Personally I think MLB would be SO much better if the salary floor was around 120 and the cap was around 275 or so.

The only reason I hate the dodgers is yes the superteams thing and deferrals

But most importantly their fans are fucking insufferable. Multiplied by the fact that I'm a Padres fan so they are the absolute fucking worst on anything social media related.

But otherwise Mookie and Freddie are standup gents. Shohei too I guess lol

Also I'm happy we locked up Jackson Merrill for a good long time at a great bargain price.

I'm pretty sure MLB is the only major pro sports league with no salary cap/floor. NFL, NBA, and NHL all have them. Anyways, I have far more hatred for the cheap-ass teams who don't even try to spend and just pocket the revenue than any of the big spending teams. Even if they're using their money to buy big free agents and titles, they're still actively trying to deliver a good on-field product for their fans, which is more than I can say for a poverty franchise like the Marlins.

But until the league implements a salary cap/floor, nothing will change. In fact, things will just get even more unbalanced.
