Crazy the last perfect game was nearly 11 years ago...Felix Hernandez once looked like a surefire HoFer.

Crazy thing is that German was booed off mound last start and was in danger of losing his roration spot.

Trout at 23% and Arozarena 22% battling for All Star starting job. Crazy Rays' player doing so well in face of their home crowds.

Giolito's going to end up as second Sox pitcher under 30 this decade to get a $100+ million FA deal this offseason with another team. Great work, Rick Hahn??

For Jason or Beckham or the combination of both together...or Benetti deferring to Gordo's vast encyclopedia of baseball knowledge?

Giolito was leading AL in ERA for month of June coming into this one... Pitcher of the Month won't hurt his trade value.

Greg775 seconds your post.

Terribly inconsistent run production... a lot like last season.

Get back another year of control... might as well face a grievance if they did that. White Sox were lowest scoring MLB team in June until that half inning.

Vaughn on pace for almost 100 rbi's yet should be sent down...

Vaughn and Burger the only guys who have hit well with bases loaded.

Better not to ever load the bases.

Burger 793 Remillard 766 Benintendi 721 Anderson 541

A lot of resiliency to blow late 7-4 lead... not score with 1st/3rd and no outs in Top of ninth but Alexis Diaz just shut down Os and now three runs and counting in the Top of the 10th at Baltimore.

Don't jinx it lol.

Football scores across baseball tonight. 14-0, 10-7 and 10-0. Guardians whooping KC for first in the Al Central. Tigers down 10-0 to Rangers.

Cardinal sin to absolutely gift Trout third base there. He was pulling up at second until Benintendi half assed it. Of course. Please bring Dr. Jack Kevorkian...

Nice job Sheets. Boston KC LA three toughest RF corners to play. Benintendi made a pretty lousy play on that ball and then loafed after it and allowed Trout to get to third. Sigh.

Does Bobby Bonilla count?... also need to have the Junior attached. Best Robert/Bob/Roberto in MLB history Roberto Clemente. Or Bob Feller.

What idiot yells "Cheese Burger" lol?

BAA Barria slider only .167

19 of last 22 Sox homers solo versions second in AL with 23 homers...versus Ohtani's leading the league 444 feet last White Sox All-Star in CF was Chet Lemon

Cleveland already up 4-0 over the Royals...Rangers all over the Tigers 6-0

Twins and White Sox with dueling versions of accountability/responsibility... "I take full responsibility for the way things are going offensively in the first half," shortstop Carlos Correa said before Wednesday's 3-0 loss in Atlanta. "I'll keep putting in the work every day and when it clicks, it's going to be better not just for me but for the entire team." Before Wednesday's loss, manager Rocco Baldelli didn't want to delve into details about the offense's issues. He didn't mince words after they were shut out for the sixth time this year. "The first half is by us," said Baldelli, who closed the clubhouse to reporters, making players unavailable to comment. "We played middling type of baseball through the first half. I'm not saying we don't care. They work their butts every day. The vast majority of our guys come in, they're focused and they are true professionals at what they do. But we're not playing together as a team right now. I take that on too." The Twins hit .232 with a .710 OPS in the first half of the season, ranking in the bottom third of the league in both categories. They averaged 4.23 runs per game, but they had 30 games when they scored two or fewer runs. They led the majors with 824 strikeouts and remain on pace to shatter the all-time record for team strikeouts. https://sports.yahoo.com/correa-takes-blame-twins-offensive-184300355.html

Steve Cohen, Mets' owner Similar philosophy to JR... but completely different mindsets in terms of arriving at those conclusions. "I’m a patient guy, OK?" the 67-year-old hedge fund billionaire said. “Now, everybody wants a headline. Everybody says: Fire this person, fire that person. But I don't see that as a way to operate. "If you want to attract good people to this organization, the worst thing you can do is be impulsive, OK, and win the headline for the day. ... You're not attracting the best talent. You're not going to want to work for somebody who has a short fuse. Listen, I know fans, they want something to happen. I get it. But sometimes, you can’t do it because you have long-term objectives." Cohen said the team is still pursuing a team president and a president of baseball operations. This year's trade deadline is Aug. 1 and an unsuccessful season could increase interest in a youth movement for a team that had the oldest average age on opening day. Cohen said he'd be willing to cover salaries in trades if it improved the prospect haul coming back. “If it turns out we don't improve and I'm looking at '24 with a similar team, one year older, for a veteran team, probably not a great place to be,” Cohen said. “We have to make honest, truthful judgments.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/mets-owner-steve-cohen-threatens-203431683.html
