It kills me that the Mets look to have made the best free agent steals of the offseason in Canning. MLB.com does a Cy Young power list, and Canning actually got a vote from a guy!
I started to notice a little defensive regression from LeMahieu last season, but it still shocks me that the Yankees would rather use the tiny Vivas at third over LeMahieu. That says a whole lot of what they think about LeMahieu’s ability to cover that position.
O’s fire Hyde.
A day later than I thought they would. Just an awful 2025 for the O’s so far.
What did the mutts see in Canning? He was a 5 era pitcher in the NL.
Someone told them Canning is the best way to guarantee that Soto stays good for 15 years.
yeah this guy always sucked
Senga 1 era. Maybe their pitching coach is the genius.
That was a pleasant surprise.
Le Machine?! OPS 1500
Schmidt gives you glimpses of being good but ultimately he’s pretty much mediocre.
Le Machine 500/1571
Why wasn’t Vivas bunting? Could’ve been a tie game.
JUDGE SLUMP
Anyone else feel as though the camo hats are total ass?
What hats? I can’t see them
yes and lol
Good one
Huascar Brazoban is a top
tier name
Yes. Though Brazoban also sounds like a topical agent that you apply to your Buttó after a Canning.
god DAMN
😂
Boone has to have the lowest success % on contact plays in history
Nice play.
Not sure why you don’t have Wells PH for Escarra here. But if they’re walking him then I guess it’s a push.
They walk Escarra to get to DJ. He hit it pretty good.
DJLOB.

Use Devin up 5, not in a tie game in the 9th at home??
JUDGE SLUMP!
Even better Weaver faced one batter yesterday. Basic baseball, tied at home in the 9th, use your closer. If he had used Cruz in the 9 th yesterday.
Nice job, Cruz, walking people, hitting a batter.
I think we witnessed another loss directly attributable to Boone.
