Very. But Adley doesn’t seem like a future superstar so what do you do? He’s another Matt Wieters at this point.

The window is now closed.

I finally just had my first game at Wrigley and… it’s heaven on earth.

That’s so great. I haven’t been there in six years. Very jealous.

I’ve only been there once, but it was a wonderful experience.

Wrigley is what new englanders claim Fenway is.

That's awesome. It's a great spot.

Eugenio Suarez went 4-for-4 with 4 HRs to raise his BA to .202.

He must be a bad hitter.

As of right now the Tigers have the best RD in MLB which won’t last but is still crazy.

Giants beat Rangers with walk-off “Little-League Home Run”.

Now they’re tied.

Now they’re back on top.

The White Sox are improving, they're 7-21. The Rockies are 4-23!

The White Sox won more games than the Blue Jays this week. The Blue Jays, 5th highest payroll in the league, are a tire fire.

Playing the Rockies is good for what ails a team.

Give him a break he has short legs.

Makes you wonder how Rickey was able to overcome “playing left field” to be the greatest leadoff hitter ever.

Probably because he didn’t spend his first 12 seasons playing 2B?

Duh. He's more than 10 seconds faster than altuve running in from OF.

Rickey also had the advantage because the A's were among the minority of teams that had their home dugout on the third base line.

I try to not let facts get in the way of taking the piss out of giff.

Make that eighth.

ETA: except somehow the Nats have an even worse pen. At least tonight.

Poor Rockies. It’s still April, and they could go on a 20-game win streak, and they’d still be below .500.

They are the first National League team to start 4-24 (going into tonight).

The National League was founded in 1876 by the way. During Ulysses Grant’s second term.

Stumblin' Daulton Varsho has gone "featured in the opening of The Today Show" viral.

Man, Trout is hurt again. It’s almost easy to forget how great he was given how long it’s been since he was truly healthy. Hasn’t reached 500 PAs in a season since before Covid was a thing.



(I will personally stab any Puckett voter who doesn’t vote for Trout first ballot.)
