And this could end up being a playoff team. Royals: Bobby Witt Jr., 3B/SS The Royals are a mess right now, and the uphill climb is going to be particularly steep. But whatever they do, they’ll do with Witt front and center. Tigers: Riley Greene, OF Now that they’ve called him up, you can get a glimpse of what their future might look like. Even if the present isn’t nearly as pleasant as everyone had been hoping. You might have said Spencer Torkelson here a couple of months ago, but his slow start has been a bit confounding to those who followed his rise in the Minors. Twins: Byron Buxton, CF They’ve extended him through 2028, which means they’re building everything around him. We’ve seen what happens, and what the Twins are capable of, when he’s healthy. White Sox: Luis Robert, CF His contract locks him up in Chicago during his physical prime (through 2027), and he still as high of a ceiling of any player in the game.

Jimenez? Bummer? Hendriks?

https://sports.yahoo.com/big-12-could-become-third-185225356.html AZ ASU Utah Colorado speculated to Big 12. What will happen to WSU Oregon State, Cal Berkeley??...really going to mess up NCAA baseball, although that's obviously not a revenue driver. Assuming Wash ORE Stanford and ND eventually to Big 10.

Except the Tigers already had Sosa.

Or the Twins did...

Not until we at least show the Twins we are going to compete with them this year. Need to at least cut lead to 3 1/2.

Aren't they dissambling it?

Yermin OPS in big leagues higher than Luis Robert's in 2022.

2/5 on season. Thairo Estrada on Covid protocol.

Might have been a homer at GRF.

Of course Moncada is 0/5. And Kimbrel just blew a save, haha. Maybe not the game, though.

They better not hit Mercedes here.

Stanford - SF Mrkt Washington - Seattle Mrkt Oregon - Rest of Pacific NW and Nike tie in ND - Last of the Midwest Bluebloods; Balances B1G That would be 20. The other more obvious targets would/could be Cal Berkeley, UNC, UVA and possibly University of Miami. https://sports.yahoo.com/whats-next-for-big-ten-college-football-after-seismic-power-grab-221423872.html

Best June pitcher: Giants veteran Carlos Rodón started six games in June, giving up just five earned runs across them. Three of those starts featured eight or more strikeouts and four of them had one or fewer walks, resulting in a 1.25 ERA and 1.88 FIP.

Rice a roni, the San Francisco treat...

Then Rutherford…yikes!

That’s crazy to move a high school kid to the big leagues that quickly. One of the last to pull that off was Alex Rodriguez. https://www.thebaseballcube.com/content/player/156293/ Look at Bryce Harper. https://www.thebaseballcube.com/page.asp?PT=player&ID=222138 Or CJ Abrams. Under 500 minor league plate appearances before being promoted. Then you’re asking a kid who has only played on the infield his whole life to make that conversion in season? Maybe if you’re collegiate relievers like Sale, Crochet or Joyce you can pull that off.

Can't do any worse than 1-7 so far. Not sure if we should be thanking the Guardians for preventing the Twins from running away with the division or wishing the Guardians were already behind the Sox in the WC race instead...

And then suffer but weather 3-5 injuries...should do like some teams are doing and draft only pitchers. Maybe it was CLE recently.

Thank god.

If they blow it everyone would say they're not acclimated to save situations.

That was always going to be a tough turn with Leury flashing across...
