Let's go O's!!!
Tayler Scott insurance if his arm falls off?
Forrest Whitley tossed a scoreless inning with a strikeout tonight for Sugar Land. He was up to 98.5 MPH. This season in Triple-A he has 13 K in 10 innings. #Astros pic.twitter.com/bQYriExUKF

Tomorrow Toronto has Chris Bassitt on the mound. Yordan's career numbers vs him:
8 for 18
5 HRs
11 RBI
4 Ks
I don't think he's owned another pitcher like he owns Bassitt

The problem is that his numbers are dismal when he is strictly a bench player. I posted a few weeks ago that his numbers were significantly worse when Abreu was on the roster than not. Kind of fuzzy this past month as he hasn't been an everyday player, but still getting more time than when Abreu was here. One thing that sticks out from a cursory glance is that his obp is well above average when he gets more PT.Harry Dunne said:He's 23 among MLB 1b with 200+ PA.linkdude said:
Singleton's OPS is creeping back to .700 at .697, he's been a perfectly league average hitter, basically what people were hoping Abreu would be this year.
Great comeback story but he's gotta be a bench player at best.
Not saying he is the answer, just being a bit optimistic. I would love a Vlad at the pos, but don't want to see us trade away pieces for a JAG.
O's up 3-0… don't want to jinx anything, but the M's offense is well… not good.
$10 says Yordan gets the Barry Bonds treatment tomorrow. Or to go back in time a bit, Jeff Bagwelled. That's what LaRussa did once in StL when Bagwell was eating them alive.bearkatag15 said:

Yordan Alvarez said he twisted his left ankle. He said it is still "a little tight," but he wears high ankle cleats, which he said helped him. An imbecile reporter from The Athletic asked how he felt in his subsequent at-bats. Alvarez replied "you couldn't tell?"

ANALYSIS: While the committee and scorers and very forgiving of the one-hop, short-hop bullet, this isn't that. It's a long hop and while it's hit hard, that long hop in the committee mind would make this an ordinary effort play, so that's why I think this got switched.

sorry if this was already discussed earlier today but this is a wild and very late change.
Is that Altuve's first error of the season?

Already reflected on the GameDay boxscore. Framber's ERA back down to 3.80 for the salary arbitrators in the audience.

Baseball-reference shows him with none, so it appears so. They also show him with only a -.1 dWar which is on pace for much better than the last couple of seasons, although this recent legislation will hurt.

Isn't it odd that Altuve gets booed mercilessly in every park we go to yet fans across the league vote him an Allstar.
Padres beat the Rangers 6-4. Texas has lost seven of its last nine. 😬

The duality of man. The Jungian thing.
I hope Tuve plays in Arlington and is booed loudly. It would say more about Ranger fan than Jose...

Win a title, and then suck afterwards
Dombrowski aside, not a great set of execs/front offices in that list of teams. Flash in the pan sort of makes sense.
Royce Lewis to the IL for the Twins
won't see him this weekend

Over the last 20 seasons, 4 MLB pitchers 22 or younger have thrown a "Maddux" (9.0+ inning CG shutout on under 100 pitches).

All 4 of them did so against the Angels.
Felix Hernandez (8/28/2006)
Derek Holland (8/9/2009)
Henderson Alvarez III (5/4/2012)
Joey Estes (tonight)
Impressive stat for the random A's starter tonight
Fightin' Texas Aggie and Sam Houston State Bearkat
Two back now.
And now it's 2 - what a run!
J-Rod batted 7th for the Mariners tonight
the Polanco trade has been a disaster for the M's
he's sporting .576 OPS
after having .789 OPS for the Twins last year

Mitch Garver isn't any better. After having a career year in half a season with the the Rangers (who didn't have a career year last year for the Rangers and I wonder how that happened?), Mitch is Machete 2.0. He's sporting a .172/.293/.353.
And that OPS still beats JRod who is at .617

I feel for Machete. He's turned into Abreu.
.083/.134/.125 in 120 AB. 5 runs and 5 RBI.

Did the MLBPA warn Adolis that his cranial growth was impossible to ignore and he would be subjected to screenings monthly??

And only one game back in the all important loss column.
Good morning to everyone but Toronto, #ToTheCore fans and anyone who is still somehow writing off the inevitability that is the @astros. Two games back, Seattle. BOHICA. #Relentless🔥🤘🏼 pic.twitter.com/Gwy094h1jf
