About to get 500 career HRs while also getting close to 3000 hits.

Talk about elite company.

Only Pujols, Murray, Mays, Aaron have done it.

And I guess technically ARod* and Palmerio* too.

He's been surprisingly decent lately, nowhere near his old self but still productive. He got a couple more hits tonight, and thought he got another slam: https://www.mlb.com/news/miguel-cabr...ped-vs-orioles


doesn't quite have the same power, I jumped out of my seat thinking he did it again lol, just based on his reaction

Hoping Tatis is good. I love his balls to the wall playing style. But I hate that it has repercussions.

The fun weekend for the Jays continues.

Manoah makes his return to the rotation for the start today, and then Berrios makes his debut tomorrow.

Stripling last night might be the only player in the Jays rotation with an ERA over 3.50!

Those Angels uniforms are beautiful. Nike did well with those.

On the flipside. The Dbacks threads are trash.

Maybe it’s because I started watching baseball in the 80s when nearly every team was wearing pullovers, but I think they look so much better. Those Angels uniforms were great

Dodgers are 1-11 in extra inning games, which I have to believe is some kind of record. Just unbelievably bad + unlucky, lmao.

Looks like Tatis had another shoulder subluxation. AKA dislocation. That's the third time this year that's happened. Once in spring training, once in April, and now. Unless it's crazy bad probably just a 10 day IL stint. Maybe even no IL and he rests 5-6 days. The downside here is the more it happens the easier it is to happen again. If you guys watched the slide it wasn't even that awkward. Basically he just raised his shoulder up going out from the side of his body. Just that little bit of impact from the ground caused it to pop.

Springer with 2 HRs in 2 at bats so far. Minor league ballpark effect can't be used as an excuse anymore for some numbers guys are putting up.


And funny how Dante Bichette legit went little league coach mode and put his son to bat cleanup. Except in this case, it actually worked.

Just saw in the Angels-A's game that over the past 4 seasons (since 2018), pitcher Jaime Barria leads MLB with 23 call-ups.

They said it's a double-sided thing because that also means that he's been sent down 22 times.

Hasn't it only been 2 games back in Toronto? Not sure it's time to make any declarations about park effects

The Angels just won their first 1-0 game in nearly 3 years (Sep. 2018).

Guys were putting up good numbers on the road too, but opponents acted like the ballpark was the only reason why (even though they were hitting in the same park too, and the dimensions of those parks were major league approved).

Obviously 2 games is a small sample size, but every ballpark has its advantages/disadvantage.

Look at Yankee stadium with the short porch which favors all their left handed hitters that they stock up on over the decades.

You mention Yankee stadium, I seen an overlay of Joey Gallo’s fly outs over the past 5 years at Texas. They put it over Yankee stadium and 47 of those fly outs would have been home runs at Yankee stadium.

It’s mind blowing to me that Rich Hill owns the sixth lowest era amongst starters since 2015
