Felipe Vasquez seems like a sick fuck.

The only guy in MLB hoping to be demoted to the minors.

Twins. Underdog in the ALDS, but I hope they beat the Yankees. If they get the Astros, could be lights out.

Fun fact I just heard on the Cards telecast. Juan Soto made his ML debut on May 20, 2018, but his first homer in the books came on May 15. Played in the last few innings of a suspended game that they made up after his call up.

I F'ING KNOW. haha. It was against the Yankees and I feel like he shouldn't have been allowed to play.

Bruce Bochy becomes the 11th manager with 2,000 wins

Cole is the 18th player to record 300 K’s in a season and did it in the second fewest amount of innings. Wow.

300 is 300. But coming in an age where players don't care if they strike out. We'll probably see this more.

This is kind of sad.  I hate the Cardinals (hate!) but always marveled at Pujols. 
Still better than many players but getting old sucks.

Still rounds to .300, but got some games remaining, too.  And two more seasons.  The decline of his slash line since going to LAA is rather startling.  His career OBP with LAA (.315) is lower than his career BA with STL (.328).

This was pretty awesome on the Sox part, letting Mike catch the FP from Carl:

True, but it is also an age where a starting pitcher is only expected to go 5-6 innings instead of a full game, so still pretty impressive.

A few years ago I thought 300 K's was a done thing but with players not giving a shit as long as their OPS is up this will be a trend for pitchers.

You might see 2 pitchers a year with 300k's not more than that though.

Gonna have to watch some Braves games this weekend!  I'm glad they're not playing the Nats because they're on blackout here.

41 and 37 with 7 games left. With the Braves clinching the East last night, I wonder if Acuña will have enough chances to swipe 40 bags.

padres manager fired. he’s no don mattingly.

the padres, d-bags and rockies always seem to have some stud players but no clue what they’re doing.

And with Yost retiring. I wonder if Mattingly wasn't re-signed where he could have gone. San Diego is probably more ahead than Kansas City

Hope KC has fun with Matheny. Gonna be a disaster given that they lean so hard on rebuilding. Matheny is atrocious with young guys.

As a Cubs fan, I really miss Matheny.

Ketel Marte for AZ.  Anyone see what he's been doing all year?  Completely under the radar.

Check him out.  He filled in for the loss of Goldie in a big way.  His team stinks so no one cares.

Acuna left with Hip Tightness...  I really really hope he gets shit together and steals those 3 bases.  It will be immortal if he does.
