-CHW’s ranking could change heavily depending on returns for Crochet and Fedde.
-MIA and COL’s rankings could change depending on Draft Lottery.
As a Jays fan- yes.
Turns out there IS crying in baseball.
The White Sox can’t tank. They can’t pick higher than 10th in the 2025 draft per the new rules. They really are just that bad from the field to the front office to the board of octogenarians and nonagenarians that have yet to pay a single $100 million contract.
Sox cannot pick higher than 10th in 2025, not really a successful tank.
Yanks belong in yikes the way they’ve played recently
I’m just as shocked where my team is as anyone else is lol
Honestly the Mets are pretty much in their best case scenario. This is not a playoff caliber roster but it has played great over the last month and a half.
Where’s the tier for “without a historic starting pitching rotation this team would be lucky to be in last place in the division”
(Mariners)
Dbacks belong in the tier above; being .501 with nearly every starter on the shelf at some point this season is a miracle
I’m a tad slow, but what constitutes a good/bad tank?
Also, as a Braves fan, I think we could also fit one rank lower lol. With Acuna and Strider out for the season, and our players currently struggling (Riley and Olson), I’d say we’re in a good spot considering all of that. I’ve really enjoyed watching how vital Sale and Kelenic have been for us. Hoping Rosario snaps into his usual Braves form when we get back from the all star break.
the nats being in that tier is the stupidest thing ive ever seen, they’re not trying to tank and cant tank anyways🤦
I think your assessment of my Rangers is pretty fair. It feels like we are doing… ok now, but that’s just bc of how disastrous the start was, and bc it’s easy to blame injuries. Hopefully we can pick things up in the 2nd half.
Praying on the Pirates to get the last NL Wild Card spot, Cutch deserves some more playoff time in Pittsburgh
The Colorado rockies should be In the yikes category, I’m pretty surer that they are the worst performing team this year behind of the white sox
Can I take a second to complain that the Milwaukee Brewers logo is a mitt catching a ball and not a beer?
As a Braves fan, there are a lot of Braves fans who give other fans, like myself, shit for not being okay with the season. Saying things like we are 10 games over .500 or whatnot. But the stuff I’m mad at isn’t the record it’s a lot of the times the genera lack of care it feels like they have sometimes, the way we lose the games in the outright dumbest ways possible, sometimes, and the underperformance of some of the leaders (Riley is a big one but he’s heating up). For example, I know it’s just one game in July… but getting shutout 1-0 by the White Sox, not to mention by a pitcher YOU SENT THERE cus he couldn’t crack your rotation. And lose a 1-0 shutout. Fucking miserable. Also, not nearly as bad, cus it was against a respectable team, but a few days ago Fried pitched a gem. Gave up a solo homer hand that was it. and again… the offense did jackshit. Shutout 1-0 again. Regardless I have no doubt in my mind that Philly cannot stay this hot. They just aren’t THAT good. And that’s not me being a Philly hater or anything. It’s just a look at their situation. The Phillies being as good and hot as they have been at 63 wins at the break? I just don’t see that as completely sustainable. They are gonna slump and when they do the Braves (most likely with a new LF and SP) will make their run. Now will they pass Philly? Idk. I think they at least pass them for a game at some point. But I see it going back and forth towards the end. it will be close come seasons end.
Idk man.. as a life long Sox fan I think we should be locked into the yikes category for at least the next 3 years
