Pirates have called up Paul Skenes. Kid has a 0.99 ERA this year, 100mph avg fastball, 45 strikeouts in 27 innings. Scheduled to start tomorrow against the Cubs.
Keller, Jones and Skenes: their rotation sounds like a law-firm.
Dodgers-Mets doubleheader today. They randomly decided to show the USA’s goal against Wales in the 22 World Cup on the big screen. Felt that was a bit fucking unnecessary.
The respect for Shohei is wild. Every AB he gets a standing o, even from the gnarliest looking Mets fans.

Meanwhile Mookie is being overlooked somehow! He’s like the Bobby of baseball. Absolute joy to watch.
I know this isn’t MLB, but

Looks like they took inspiration from the dreaded half and half scarfs

My hypothetical half would be black, to reflect my nihilism.
His half would never be finished, because he would forever be arguing with the designers.

My niece and her family (from the Philadelphia area) are in London for the series. She/husband/daughter all big Phillies fans, as am I.
Having a wonderful time there. Haven’t been able to communicate much, but will have a full report once they return.
She knows literally nothing about footy. She asked what this “West Ham stuff” was about. I told her if she sees any one with two crossed hammers on a shirt, to give them a cross-armed greeting. Also warned if they were wearing blue, to be careful as they may be Millwall. I would like her to be safe

One of my wife’s favourite non-Phillies players, but only because she likes to say “Tea, Oscar?” in the worst “British” accent since Dick Van Dyke.

Dear Teo,
On behalf of my friend Ranger, please limit your critique until you can master my goal celebration

Dear Bryce:
You try that slide with me and you’ll be dealing with Arthur Shelby.

I know at one point there were some Bauer defenders on here and so thought this is worth familiarizing with

As a Dodger fan, I am still shocked at the shoddy background check and relieved they cut him and still shocked at the shoddy background check.
PS: get well soon, Mookie.
I guess I knew it was like this for those Deep South farm teams, but this is still shocking - particularly coming from such a tower of individual strength like Jackson.

People treat this like it was from some long gone era. He is young enough that he played damn near into the 90s. He is the same age as Tommy Smith.
