It's just wild that Thompson's actually hitting this well. Wasn't he with the Tigers to start the year? How the hell do the Dodgers fix broken players in such a short amount of time? 

Padres, lol

    I'd rather have Yolmer than Garcia on this team. That's the level Garcia has driven me towards.

    When I was watching the Dodgers and Giants a few days ago all the ex Sox were playing, Yermin was in LF, Luis Gonzalez was playing. Trace Thompson was a hero with 2 big hits and a super catch over the

    That would have probably decapitated Eloy.

Jake Lamb homer for the Mariners. 

Guardians staring at a 4-game sweep tomorrow. Wouldn’t be the end of the world for them as they finish with 24 out of 36 at home. They’ll still win 20 games which will be enough.

Tito's boys don't quit

I swear the Guardians have had some crazy comebacks this year.

What new?

Madrigal up to .599 OPS, .253 BA.

His last 30 games: 294 AVG, 358 OBP

SLG is awful though, .321

Not sure if he has lingering power issues from injuries, but I thought he would continue to slug over 400. If he does that and stays healthy hes going to be solid

Yup, was a terrible trade that has continued to get worse.

Madrigal's up to a 112 wRC+ since coming off the IL. That's basically what he was on the Sox while he was here. If he can stay healthy, he's going to be a valuable player. The bat plays even if people want to only fixate on his lack of slug.

Trayce might be a better baseball player than his brother is a basketball player at the moment.


rough season for Dallas

weeps in possible rotation of Cease, Rodon, Lynn, Cueto, Giolito with Kopech finishing the season as a bullpen longman.

Thanks Jerry.

Is his mom gonna talk s%*# about the Rangers too?

 And Marcus Semien's prolonged slump to begin this season is now a relic. Consider this:

Semien's first 42 games: 181/.236/.241, 0 HR, 10 RBI, 14 runs scored, 36 wRC+

Semien's next 91 games: .270/.331/.495, 21 HR, 57 RBI, 67 runs scored, 134 wRC+

There was a lot of "and people wanted to sign *him*????" after Semien got off to such a slow start, but the difference between him and Harrison could easily be the difference in the division.

Caufield's post caused me to do a little bit of digging on how far back the Sox ineptitude at 2nd base goes. They haven't had a 2nd baseman reach 4 fWAR in a season since Nellie Fox in 1960 lol.

Apparently, this was the secret to Craig Kimbrel pitching well.

 

 

1) I'm so glad to see Trayce Thompson thriving after he bounced around for so many years.

2) Holy s%*#, Trayce Thompson is 31-years-old now.

3) What the f*** is the Padres' catcher wearing. I get it vibes with their Miami-esque City Connect jerseys, but he's probably blinding their pitcher.

Ray Durham was pretty damned good, but he wasn't the type of defensive player (other than on pop-ups into short RF and foul territory) that could get himself 1-1.5 fWAR points on defense ALONE.

Guess it's Alfaro and not Nola...Colombians love to be colorful.

Crismatt is the other Colombiano on that team.
