  1. You may not like it but I’m just keeping it real about post-June 1 Vaz

    .253/.288/.440, 3 HR, 103 wRC+, 0.7 WAR

    (Jeffers with a 66 wRC+ during that span)

  2. Yall think there’s any chance we resign Kepler next season? It’ll be sad to see him go even if he isn’t our superstar

  3. It’s an absolute disgrace that the other 29 ballparks don’t have the plate-shaped dirt area around home. It’s so clearly the correct look

  4. Extremely encouraging 2-out rally. Bats seemed to have gone cold since the Giants series

  5. Booth acting like the Tigers broke the bank on the Keith extension. It was $28.6m over 6 years for an average annual payout of $4.7 million.

    Yes a risk and more than the arb process, but MLB teams can find that in the couch cushions even if Keith completely sucked

  6. I thought the Phillies were supposed to be good 😭. Yes I will ignore that our hospital squad beat them

  7. Twins need to run a ton of bunt defense drills before the next Gourd series. Like freaking gnats over there.

  8. Still don’t understand how you manage to fracture your pelvic bone playing baseball

  9. If anyone wants to be pissed off. Go take a peak at the balls/strikes calls the ump is giving out in the Guardians game. 3 strike outs looking against the Phills. Ball is 6+ inches outside the zone.
