Forgot about Martin...but we know very well expecting much from a TJ recovery first year back is pretty unsound policy. And it's not like Martin was ever a can't miss guy in the first place. He outperformed nearly everyone's pretty minimal expectations.

See Dylan Cease and his yoga/Zen Buddhism...

See Carlos Quentin or Avisail Garcia... Another reason that Aaron Judge deal is so risky on the backend. Same with Trout even....the last 3-5 years, his GP average has been steadily declining.

Probably doesn't even know who he is....like Robert and Charlie Montoyo. Well, unlikely but not completely out of the realm of possibility with that guy.

Reds lost 5/6 to Brewers Fastest-tracked infield assists under Statcast (since 2015): Today, Elly De La Cruz: 97.9 mph July 14, 2022, Oneil Cruz: 97.8 mph Sept. 20, 2020, Fernando Tatis Jr.: 97.3 mph Sept. 18, 2021, Fernando Tatis Jr.: 96.8 mph June 20, 2022, Oneil Cruz: 96.7 mph However, it wasn't De La Cruz's fastest-tracked assist this year. In May for Triple-A Louisville, De La Cruz made a 99.2 mph throw to first base for an out.

Padres: C Ethan Salas (No. 2) Not that Salas matters all that much to the 2023 Padres. They aren’t trading him. He’s not going to impact the big league club anytime soon. But holy smokes, this kid is something else. The top international prospect in the most recent class, Salas went directly to the California League -- at 16 years old. He’s holding his own there, too, posting an .881 OPS with reports of solid defense and game management. Padres scouting director Chris Kemp recently called Salas the best young player he’d ever scouted. That statement looks less and less hyperbolic by the day. mlb.com

You realize Strider's almost at 180 Ks already? That's a Nolan Ryan or Randy Johnson number/pace.

Remillard is the perfect player for Ozzie or Renteria...or the 2014-15 Royals.

Did they stretcher him out so he doesn't have to ride a team bus and reaggravate his back?

Just trade them Jimenez before he gets hurt yet again. No way they pick up some of those more expensive option years.

57 pitches....in a rush to get out of the clubhouse for that steak dinner.

Was about to say don't go out and bet the house on the Sox....two great at bats from Harris and then Acuna down 0-2 battling back.

Not if he puts up 40+ homers and 80+ steals. Unreal. Lynn back to playoff quality opponent woes.

Only thing that can stop Acuna. Uh oh. Getting hit in the face/lip by his chain.

Only the Yankees of 2019 ahead of ATL at 31...homers in 28 consecutive games now.

23rd homer already surrendered? Somehow he's getting Ks at 92-93.

We shouldn't have called out Rosario lol.

Strider with four pitches at 100-101 there. Pitch count way too high to threaten Clemens Wood etc.

Now we have a game. 3-0. Two key hits flares off the end of the bat.

Knew TA wasn't going to come through with RISP.

Looks like a rope in the box score. 20 RBIs for Benintendi.

"White Sox in a good position to break through." Braves' radio doesn't know the Sox.

101 mph EV off 98. Both hits with two strikes.

Btw, should we be cheering for the Cubs to go on a mini-run again so they can't trade Stroman and Bellinger?

Will 9 1/2 games back after tonight force the White Flag up?
