    Interesting how the antivax players don't have an issue trusting medical experts when their elbows blow out or they pull a hammy.

  • Given that 10 out of 26 players didn’t get vaccinated, it really doesn’t seem like the “bullying culture” you suggest had any impact.  But that works both ways. Given what I posted earlier with t

    Unless you're in the microscopic percentage of the population who is too immunocompromised to receive the vaccine, there is no "reward" for anyone not to get the shot. Anti vax talking points like thi

I don't feel sorry for the owner. He slashed payroll.

I don't feel sorry for any of them. 

The boys at PTI took a good shot at Reds yesterday, particularly the owner.  They traded/let go lots of good players, had lots of injuries, and are fielding essentially a minor league team.  Then, the owner says he can make money by moving.  Manfredo needs to slap the shit out of the owner.

Josh Van Meter who had to catch in an emergency situation yesterday (one catcher was thrown out) for Pitt hadn't caught an inning since Pony League at age 14.

Happy for Alec. Kid worked his ass off.  Hope he has a long career.

We aren't starting an Alek Thomas thread, are we?

Looks like Kelenic might have staved off a demotion to AAA for now.   Seems JP Crawford might be ouchy, so Dylan Moore is currently needed "more" at SS.

 

Pretty sure the husband isn't getting much action this week...

Almost a 25% decline.  That's needless to say massive.

"Rays: Their pitching injuries haven’t slowed them down
This might not be that surprising for anyone who’s followed Tampa Bay and its seemingly inexhaustible supply of pitching over the past few years, but it’s still stunning. Consider the injured arms the Rays have been without -- the list includes 2021 ace Tyler Glasnow, top prospect Shane Baz, young starter Luis Patiño, lefty Ryan Yarbrough (who returned last week after missing 23 games), depth starters Yonny Chirinos and Brendan McKay and high-leverage relievers Nick Anderson, Pete Fairbanks and JT Chargois. That’s basically a full rotation and the back end of a strong bullpen missing from Tampa Bay’s roster, yet the Rays ended the weekend with a 3.25 ERA that ranked seventh in the Majors and fourth in the AL." -- Adam Berry

Anthony Rendon just hit a HR batting left-handed and Reid Detmers is 2 outs away from a no-hitter. Baseball is so damn fun, man.
 

 

This might be the year the Angels turn having the 2 best players in baseball into an actual winning team.

Rendon isn't too bad himself.

White Sox draft thread - mostly wrong on Detmers.

 

Good thing the NL got the universal DH

Yeah, what’s not to love about a sub .700 OPS since 2021

kinda buried the lede there:

 

In the history of MLB, there has been only one recorded instance of an on-field lightning strike, and it was more than a century ago.

In just 2022 or since the beginning of 2021?

 

Eric Hosmer seems to be taking out his anger at being counted out by all of Soxtalk to the extreme this year.
