    Acuña is now the 2nd player under 22 to join the 30-30 club. The only other player is Trout.

      Underrated players weekend nickname, Jays manager Charlie Montoyo. His nickname? Choo Choo.

        I mentioned this a couple of weeks back. The Players Weekend uniforms should have been what Chicago and Pittsburgh wore this past Sunday for the Little League Series.

          Or just let the players wear throwbacks of their own team.

            Jays wearing white during a game in Seattle is fitting lol.

            And an "in your living room" moment, Mariners bullpen cam is almost right above the catcher. So when they switched to Mariners bullpen to show a guy warming up in the 1st, you just see him warming up and suddenly the ball comes almost right at the camera. That was unexpected .

            Reese "Pieces" McGuire playing his first ever game at home in Seattle. His first pitch in his first at bat, it deflects and hits the ump in his "reese's pieces". Another reason for robot umps lol.

              Nice to see the Pirates and Reds finish a game where no one tried to Deebo each other.

                Barves have struck out 23 times this game so far. A franchise record.

                  You keep saying this but a couple things.

                  Throwbacks are very uncomfortable compared to what players wear today. They don't want to wear them.

                  Also, most of the good throwbacks don't have nameplates which is half the fun of this weekend.

                    I'd be fine with "faux-back" jerseys....basically just a modern take on a retro style, doesn't have to be authentic or anything. But whatever they do, they better not do this all black vs. all white thing again it's actually terrible

                      It doesn't have to be the exact jerseys.

                      Same design just fitted for modern era. Same with having nameplates on them.

                      Although, when it comes to these white on white nameplates, anything is an improvement.

                            Can't deny it. Kid is a boss. Love watching him play.

                              I typically don’t give two ****s about the uniforms but these things a just hideous and a horrible idea. Teams have no identity and it’s hard to make out the names, which is a big part of this players weekend, on the jerseys, especially the home whites.

                              I wish they would have gone with the little league uniforms as they were colorful and fun.

                              Seems like an opportunity missed

                                It’s so bad that I turn on Gameday this morning and Sportscenter was just ending...and they were making fun of the uniforms. If ESPN is making fun of them, it’s bad...
