just imagine where this team would be if the bullpen was just ok. i know Nola makes too much to be moved to the pen (i think he would be a great closer) but someone is going to have to eventually so Painter can get up here.

and yes that other guy is pretty good ;)

I don't see Detroit play very much but based on last year...very surprised. Having seen the Cubs this year...they really hit and score runs.

As of earlier last week every division leader except 1 was among the top HR hitting teams.
 
Tigers are putting the beat down on the Red Sox!!! I freaking love this!!!
 
Rays v Jays tonight @JB

Can't wait to see which team underperforms more lmao
 
that Oswaldo Cabrera injury from last night was nasty looking.

The Rays are missing 4 players and 3 pitchers, so them.
 
Mo Baller called up and playing tonight @Hawk
 
Looks like Rose will be going into the hall finally?

Manfred would wait until he's dead. Looks like Shoeless Joe too.

Doesn't mean he will get in. The Veteran's committee still has to vote him in, and I doubt many members on there are big fans of his

Actually as he hasn't appeared on a ballot I wonder if he will go to the writers vote first

How awesome would it be for him and Bonds to go in together?! 🤣

I haven't looked that deeply into Shoeless Joe, but his transgressions seem way worse than Rose's were?

Hadn't thought about that. Dumb

It's debated whether he was actually involved. I'm pretty sure his stats were very good in the 1919 WS which would contradict someone throwing it.

Shoeless Joe was part of the Black Sox team that threw a World Series. He always denied being involved and had 12 hits during that world series

For sure... just weird to make them eligible now. Should've happened a long time ago IMHO. Especially since MLB has partnered w/ gambling sites for a while now.

Won’t go to the writers.

Jane Forbes Clark, chairman of the board of the Hall of Fame, said Manfred's decision will allow Rose, Jackson and others to be considered by the Historical Overview Committee, which will "develop the ballot of eight names for the Classic Baseball Era Committee ... to vote on when it meets next in December 2027."

There is no guarantee that that committee will elect him.
 
Chandler Simpson is going to be a problem in the future. He is so fast and puts bat on ball it makes it hard on even routine ground balls.

Plus you get rid of Johnny Delucca who is absolutely awful
 
Arranda is another surprise. We knew prospect wise he was a good bat on ball guy with great vision. I don’t think anybody predicted the power would come with it.

Nice homer there.

He’s probably the fastest MLB has seen since Deion.
 
Nice to see Berrios settle in, and even more nice to see the Jays react to runs against with power and runs for.

Was sort of expecting to blitz through this one with limited interest, but somehow they are still in the game.
