No doubt the ball is juiced after Acuna's popup HR

Yep - Chip Carey called it a pop up, Acuna thought it was a pop up. I know the wind is blowing out, but that was nuts.

When he left STL he had a 328/420/617 career line (OPS+ of 170). His career line now stands at 299/378/547 for an OPS+ of 146. That's what 9 years of 257/313/449 will do for you...

Do you remember this post of yours, by the way?

In order for him to drop his career batting average 50 points (from .325 to .275) he would need to hit .220 for that 10 year period. If this was to occur, he would STILL have 3,435 career hits. I think we can assume he WILL not hit .220 for the next 10 years and that if he did, he'd still get in with a .275 average, 3500 hits, and 600 HR's. The dude is as much as a lock as you can be at this point.

For all that he's done poorly during his Angels tenure, he has only descended half of that in batting average. Pretty remarkable.

Wow...I most certainly did not. OS is like a time machine!

I'm not sure who to even root for in Tigers vs Twins.

Jays are 1.5 behind the Twins for a higher playoff seed, but are 2.5 ahead of Tigers for the last playoff spot.

Pujols last 4 years per fWAR:

• 2017: -2.0
• 2018: -0.2
• 2019: -0.4
• 2020: -0.1

I like the way it looks

Lol, Buck Martinez just said the Red Sox have Jeremy Lin in the OF.

Also, today is the first time in over 45 years that we have 20+ games in one day.

The last time was in 1974. The Jays,Mariners, Rockies,Marlins,Rays,Dbacks all didnt exist. No current player was even alive yet.
