I wonder if Carlos is enjoying being the only guy in the spotlight. Dodger fans are really giving it to him and he responds with 0-3

JV gave up 6 runs in 5 innings tonight with 2 HRs and just 3Ks against the Rays... he's off to a very rough start
Meanwhile at MMP Javier is pitching like a CY candidate.
Congrats to Jose Altuve and the Hooks:

Dodgers just tried the old steal 2nd with a runner on 3rd and Muncy got gunned down at home.
On Altuve watch, 0 for 5 with one K.Microwave Onions said:

He is batting an impressive 1 for 18 in 4 games so far.
Good...That means he's not wasting them on the AA Hooks and saving them for the Good Guys.

A little size perspective on Gilbert
Keep Altuve in Corpus / Sugar Land until he starts hitting. Dubon is getting it done for the club.

Can Dubon play 1B??

Think he ever gets called up? Would really like to see what he can do in the show.Microwave Onions said:

Not anytime soon.
He just got demoted.

could the Mets (20-23) be sellers at the trade deadline?
and would any team inquire about Scherzer or JV (and be willing to take on their respective contracts)?

and a question for the Blue Jays' manager...
why in the world are you pitching to Judge in the 8th inning of a tie game...when Harrison Bader is the guy hitting behind him?
gotta use the IBB there

Because he obviously graduated from the Dusty Institute of Management.

I actually cheered when blue called that 3-0 pitch a strike (even though it was obviously a ball) because I knew we had a better shot with Chas swinging at a 3-1 pitch than anything Maldy was going to do.
I saw an alert on my phone earlier this morning (that I didn't click) that said something like Bluejays pitcher admits to tipping...
It actually was cut off at "tip" so I assume it was talking about the night Judge was caught glancing. I can't find anything about it on ESPN or MLB, though.

I can only assume that the MLB have that pitcher's family held hostage and are forcing him to admit to tipping to cover for the Yankees cheating

This is interesting that attendance and viewership is up. I doubt these rules go anywhere anytime soon.
I'm personally a fan of the overall game speed. I'd just like a slightly longer clock and remove the batter being attentive to the pitcher.
I absolutely hate the clocks, i'm probably okay with the maximum of 3 pick-off attempts per batter; I like the "has to pitch to 3 batters" rule, but you can't argue the pitchers are giving more runs and the games are shorter; both goals of Manfred.Lonestar_Ag09 said:

After being at the game last night with two younger kids (7-10), I am a fan of the game speed. I don't love the pitch clock but the games being shorter is nice for attending and when I am watching the West Coast games.
Astros GM Dana Brown on Brantley setback: "It hurts. He means so much to our clubhouse. Hopefully he can start swinging a bat in a week, he was so close. At the end of the day, it's a gut punch but we think he'll be back." @SportsTalk790 @SeanUnfiltered @moneyonthemic7

I still want to see an actual relevant accuracy metric. Not just a percentage of taken pitches but a percentage of borderline taken pitches.Wabs said:

You don't get credit as an umpire for calling a middle-middle ball a strike. Just like you don't get credit for calling a breaking ball in the dirt a ball. The further into or out of the actual zone an incorrect call is, the more it penalizes your score. Then layer in the game situation and you may actually have a meaningful metric.
I wonder where they're getting their data from. It'd actually be easy to establish a better metric.
How do you remove the batter being attentive? The pitcher could just quick pitch as soon as they step in box if they don't have to wait for batter to be attentive. On the reverse, if they do have to wait for the batter to be attentive and there is no clock on batter then the batter could just look at the dirt until there is 1 second on clock and then the pitcher has no time to pitch.Lonestar_Ag09 said:

If the clock is longer by even 5 seconds and there is an average 300 pitches per gam, that is 1,500 seconds or 25 minutes longer per game.
I think the biggest problem right now is pitchers are working hard and fast which could cause injuries. Teams need to be strategic with mound visits to allow pitcher a moment.
Brantley now joins LMJ in the category of 'Whatever...If they're back they're back but not counting on it'.
As of today, what is everyone's thoughts on what we need to target at (or before) the trade deadline (if anything). Here's mine:
1. Starting pitcher: doesn't need to be a "big splash", but a veteran preferably with some post season experience. This guy could also be used in long relief if necessary.
2. RH hitter with power - either a corner infielder or outfielder

Alright, Abreu is 6/11 including a HR in his career against Smyly. Today is the day, folks.
He's not going to homer once tonight, but twice...

dusty baker lineups have traumatized me too long,, based on the 6/11 and a hr, i'm fully expecting abreu to have an off day todayk20dub said:

I'm not targeting anyone for some time. If Abreu wakes up.. honestly probably nothing major but maybe try and move some youth off the 40man.Wabs said:

If Jose hasn't woken up then I would target an alternative for 1B, not a "corner INF" but cause Bregman isnt going anywhere. We have tons of OF options I'm not trading for more.
I foresee Urkeeding and Lance back before the break so I'm not wasting prospects there for a trade either
Lol based on those stats, tonight will be the rare night that Dusty benches himk20dub said:
