Reports that both the Rays and Astros were interested in Encarnacion. The Yankees trading for him might be about keeping him off either of those rosters as much (or more) as it is about improving their own. I could see them trying to flip him to a NL contender at the deadline. He's played a lot more games at 1B than he's DH'ed which I didn't realize. That might be more b/c of Vogelbach, Although, I just peeked, and barring injury, the NL contenders are all pretty stacked at 1B.
Should be interesting.

Last two times Michigan started a CWS 2-0, they won the whole dang thing...

Tanaka threw a complete game shutout against the Rays. I'm very confused.

Also, someone needs to explain to me how the CWS works now that Michigan is doing well and I might pay a little attention.

It opens with a double elimination four-team tournament. Michigan is the current 1-seed with 2 wins and no losses. Arkansas is out with two losses. Texas Tech and Florida State each have one loss. Michigan will have two games to win one against the winner between TT and FSU.

Whichever team emerges from that mini-series without two total losses gets a bid in the championship series, which is a straight best of 3 against the winner of the other four-team tournament.

It gets a lot more complex in previous stages. It's a wild tournament!

Too soon to start the AL vs. NL DH debate on this site yet? Solid form on this practice bunt by Scherzer...

Haha. Didn't realize that text popped up while I was taking the screen shot of the MLB response to the umpires union.
MLB on point with that last sentence.

These Padres are kinda fun. Wild one breaking out against the Brewers.

Fuck yes.

Kyle Farnsworth is the baseball fights GOAT.

The Phillies suck and should be relegated to AAA

Pulled the eldest one out of class today for a day game.


A’s offense is still decent. Couple starters rehabbing and will hopefully be up soon. Bullpen is shakey. BART parking is still free.

Padres shit on a pretty decent Brewers team. Went to the game last night, Logan Allen was dominant. Saw John Cena, good times

Pirates are worse. AA, I guess? Maybe worst team in baseball right now. Losing to Tigers 7-1 right now in the 3rd after giving up back to back jacks. Worst pitching staff I have ever seen.
