Well, for A-Rod, giving hundreds of millions of dollars to a rule breaker is a feature.Slappy on the LA front office: “The Dodgers are playing chess. They don’t make big mistakes.”
Right. Because someone else signed Trevor Bauer.
You could seriously transcribe his commentary of any game and find I bet 50 minimum factual errors. He just keeps rolling, the only time I have ever heard him be good is when both Cone and O'Neill (one is not enough) were in the booth with him and he had to stop his stream of consciousness gibberish for once.Slappy on the LA front office: “The Dodgers are playing chess.

I don’t think it’s what people want to hear, but the NL WC is not a done deal yet, the Reds are only 2.5 games back and, per this Ringer analysis, they have a much easier remaining schedule. I don’t think anyone outside of the greater Cincinnati area is rooting for them, but the opportunity is there. Would also be wild if the Padres missed the playoffs altogether after all of their moves.I know these things are impossible to control and you play who you play in October, but I‘d bet Milwaukee would be thrilled staying as the #2 seed in the NL. The Giants would get the winner of Dodgers/Padres while the Brewers play the NL East winner.
The second place team in the NL East is still lurking too, although I think the Mets will fall out of it in the next ten days.I don’t think it’s what people want to hear, but the NL WC is not a done deal yet, the Reds are only 2.5 games back and, per this Ringer analysis, they have a much easier remaining schedule.

Yeah, I may have jumped the gun big time on the NL Wild Card. The Reds crushed the Cubs tonight and the Rockies just walk offed the Padres. 1.5 GB.I don’t think it’s what people want to hear, but the NL WC is not a done deal yet, the Reds are only 2.5 games back and, per this Ringer analysis, they have a much easier remaining schedule.

Guards wanted to wait to see whether he could be better than anyone of their staffPretty lazy security at Oracle Park. Fan ran on the field (they showed the whole thing on TV). He got to the pitchers mound and pretended to throw while security just kind of watched. They finally tackled him when the fan ran straight at them.
Look at Atlanta's upcoming schedule. They should run away with the East.The Braves and Mets did one of those Freaky Friday body switches at the All Star break.
Atlanta: 20-11
New York: 12-20
Atlanta has built up a little 2.5 game lead over Philly now.
Annnnd, suspended.Jack Morris may be in a bit of trouble. Used a mocking Asian accent when discussing Ohtani.

The "Elmer Fudd" defense raised in the comments is so dumb. Elmer Fudd says "vewy vewy", not "belly belly". And the only reason to allude to Elmer Fudd or his speech impediment in that context would be to engage in stereotyping about Ohtani's accent.
Hasn't Elmer had a bad enough time of it lately to be drawn into this?The "Elmer Fudd" defense raised in the comments is so dumb. Elmer Fudd says "vewy vewy", not "belly belly".

That thing was middle-middle.This might be the worst (non) strike call I have ever seen in an MLB/MILB game.

Yah. Down fucking Broadway. If I was that player or manager for that team I would have gotten ejected and gotten my monies worth.That thing was middle-middle.
Monochrome unis of any color, other than white and grey, are abominations that never look good.The Dodgers uniforms and hats are a tragedy.
Pujols' previous HR off Rich Hill came in 2007, 11 teams ago for Hill.Albert Pojols just hit his 15th homer of the season. LA is wearing solid Dodger blue uniforms today, both pants and jerseys which I don't recall seeing from them in the past. Jogging around the bases he looked like an NFL lineman in his Thursday night color rush uni.
Edit...Ahhhh City Connect unis. That explains it.
