Amazing play by Sprinkle, especially in this rain.

First non-Yankee to hit 60 in the AL.

But at the same time

To be fair, they did it 20 years ago. Then they just...stopped?

Lmao

I remember when my friends from Mizzou messaged me that the Bears took Luther and I was immediately confused before hyped. They were like "why are you confused? He's the best available!" Cause Poles just...kept ignoring it. It's frightening because right now, to get anything out of Loveland-Luther-Trapilo-Turner, your best chance is to try and do everything to turn Luther into a poor man's Devin Hester. For a cross-sports analogy: Poles would draft Tyrus Thomas over LaMarcus Aldridge 10/10 times based on physical traits. It's mind numbing.

I know. Just the concept of A) A 12-year-old prospect inking that B) It getting announced 5 years before it can legally be signed, with details about a prior contract falling through Are just bonkers to me

A signing that will happen in 4 years being reported now is wild to me.

Bulls and Giddy met and the middle as expected. God, I wish they had played hardball like this with Pat since they were determined to keep him.

Fulmer, Hansen, Collins.

Tra La La!

I love that the success of the Crochet trade has erased everyone's memories of the disastrous Cease trade.

What lesson does this teach little kids? To ogle umpires?

When I was 10, I got hit by a foul ball and, being 10, didn't immediately think to grab the ball. Woman next to me scrambles to get the ball and pushes my dad away when he tries to get it off the ground. She kept telling him that she HAD to have it for her grandkids, because...they telepathically knew she was in the vicinity of a ball? If you've got a ball, give it to a kid.

Anyone that tries to tell me pitchers hitting is more exciting than having Teel and Quero is crazy. The only team with two simultaneously good catchers that I can think of was the 2020 Sox with McCann and Grandal. I know McCann plummeted in 2021 and Yasmani collapsed in 2022, but in 2020 they were two of the team's Top 5 hitters. Carrying a third catcher and letting those both play more would have bettered the team.

Lmao that one fan

The panic this would send TLR into

My god.

I would personally like to see Aaron Judge's children awkwardly follow Colson around next September.

He was an ace last year, what are you talking about about?

Everyone you mentioned outside of Fuller has been around for the Cease, Santos, Mena, and Booser trades. They've let Robert's value atrophy to hell. Those have all been bad (Santos and Mena may have aged poorly themselves, but at the time of trades, has much higher value. Crochet and Slater are good. The rest are either washes or wait and see.

Almost feels criminal that that wasn't a homer

I just want one of these stolen base fiends (Micah Johnson, Duke Ellis, Jordan Sprinkle) to be good enough to get to the majors

Still unreal, but in a different way
