Definition of a manufactured run.

Went down and got it...

The swing change again.

Seems closer to mid 20s than 19000+. Really into these close/r games now. Tough stretch with four pretty strong opponents in a row coming up...Texas offense has to wake up eventually and Hou StL Toronto all playing well. Pretty sure we will miss Hunter Brown.

Garcia way too dramatic there.

Keeping players that age healthy/available is the problem. Granted, there are not any outfielders between Chicago and Braden pushing for time unless you really buy into Julks and Fletcher's AAA numbers.

Didn't realize Davis Martin was under control through 2030..makes the trade case harder to make despite his age.

Rangers have now dealt away Ragans and parked this guy in AAA.

Houser and Martin both very attractive trade market targets...depending on what they can get back. Houser the original original veteran leadership purpose of Perez. But that new found velo is getting a lot of attention at his age.

Occam's Razor

It was so specific I thought something had come out that I missed...but throwing in autism wasn't fair at all. Plus there's a clear change in slant of those Hindu temple symbols....if you've seen enough across Asia.

Win today and they'll be on better than a 54-108 pace...

Looks like great crowds so far this weekend...

Source???? Speculation...

But that symbol belongs predominantly on Hindu temples, then. That's his religion? Why would it be associated with the two first black players in the NL and AL? And how do you explain the N word part of it?

“The paintings/murals are located at Dorsey Park, a historic Negro League park located in Overton, a neighborhood that was known as the ‘Harlem of the South’ during segregation. The defacements included spray-painted swastikas over Robinson’s and Miñoso’s faces and a racist slur on Robinson’s mural. The vandalism was discovered by a seven-year-old boy who asked his mother what it meant, Nicole Crooks of the community group Catalyst Miami told reporters. “This was an act of hate, but it will not define us,” said Kyle Holbrook, the artist who painted the mural in 2012 as part of the MLK Mural Project in partnership with local artists. “This mural was born from a community’s pride, history, and power. We will restore it — stronger, bolder, and with even more purpose. Black history is American history. And no spray paint can erase that truth.” Holbrook has lived in the Miami area since 2009 and said he felt inspired to paint the mural to highlight the “special” history of Overtown that faces the threat of erasure.” https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6408342/2025/06/06/jackie-robinson-minnie-minoso-murals-miami-vandalism/ U.S. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) called the vandalism a “vile act of hatred” in a Wednesday statement. “We must treat this for what it is: a hate crime meant to instill fear and division,” she said. “But we will not be intimidated. We will respond with unity, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and the preservation of our history.”

Eight of the Top 10 teams in baseball have Top 12 payrolls. Basically you need to spend $200 million or more to have a chance. Even the exceptions are in the middle tier, Cards at 16 and Detroit at 18 with a $145 million payroll. Four of the bottom five lowest payrolls make up the worst teams in baseball...White Sox A's Miami and Pirates. Rockies (worst) are 21st. Rays still doing okay without spending...same with the Brewers/Guardians, as usual. Orioles Braves Red Sox and Rangers underachieving. https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/breakdowns/payroll

A heartbeat again.

But the fact that we do not know when this is going to happen over the next 6 or 7 years, and the fact that it could not happen until 2034 when like Hagen Smith is in his second year as a Dodger, it's like very kind of strange to process."

Leasure go away.

Tough game for Meidroth...

Turn on the game only to hear about Vargas swing change again. Geez.
