Phillies prospect Rhys Hoskins finally got a hit after a million at bats. Also, are Freddy Galvis, Odubel Herrera and Maikel Franco the same person? No. You can tell by the fact that Odubel and Freddy can at least hit above .230... On the bright side, Alfaro continues to hit well. Just needs to get some plate discipline. And Manny Machado is a free agent soon. Manny Machado isnt coming to Philadelphia with the Yankees ready to bring in the Brinks trucks and the Marlins being run by Derek Jeter now. Maybe they can get Mike Trout to take a hometown discount

Maybe they can get Mike Trout to take a hometown discount The Phillies can match those Brinks trucks. They have one of the lowest payrolls in the league, and still haven't spent any of that new TV deal money. Plus, Montgomery said last year he's pretty much willing to leave the checkbook open to get the big free agents in a couple years. I fully expect them to make a strong run after Machado (unless Franco figures it out), Trout, and at least one or two big name pitchers. I wouldn't rule out them going after Harper either, since he loves hitting in CBP.

its completely ridiculous to talk about Sale as MVP
MVP should be for position players, Cy Young is for pitchers. Guys winning both is ridiculous.
give Sale the MVP? fine, then someone else gets the Cy

Aroldis Chapman sucks. Seriously. The guy can't nail down a scoreless inning to notch a save EVER. Even when he gets the save it's always ugly and he usually gives up at least one run. What a waste of money he was. The Cubs RUINED him.

Yankees need to suck it up and either put D-Rob or Betances as the closer. I'd actually go with D-Rob because he's done it, and Betances is still shaky at times. Chapman needs his confidence back, or just some time off the pressure. Devers got lucky, I mean he just got a clean hit off a 103mph fastball, Chapman was blowing everyone away up to that point and even continued to the next batter. It was clear he was in there to throw heat and end this crapgame. I blame the night on Didi....bottom 8th and we have a rally going...he comes up swinging AT EVERY PITCH and strikes out on 3....unbelievable. I knew 1 run wasnt going to be enough. Joe did the right thing calling for the bunt, and then completely ed up his decision by pinch hitting for Romine who was actually producing....why are you not putting Ellsbury on to RUN instead of hit? Pinch hitting almost NEVER works. So they set up a great play, everythings lined up perfectly to get another run, and of course shitbag Ellsbury grounds out....now we lost our starting catcher, and that sets up Didi to just swing at everything and blow the game. Last night was a perfect example of why this team just can't get it done. They get amazing pitching, and when they have the perfect opportunity to capitalize on a struggling bullpen (Sox) they just completely blow it with their usual bullshit.

Aroldis Chapman tried his hardest to blow this game but he sucks so hard he couldn't even do it. He actually managed to get the save, despite a 2 run HR.
The good news is it looks like he hurt himself so hopefully he'll be out for a long time and we will be rid of his horrible pitching and mental problems.

I find it amazing the Marlins are thinking about trading Giancarlo Stanton. The Marlins love fire sales.

Can the Mets please trade these players for a 3B and a CF?

Dodgers got Curtis Granderseon and sent Joc Pedey to AAA.

Aaron Judge has now tied the record for strikeouts in consecutive games - 36.
Coincidentally, a higher number than the amount of games the Dodgers have lost all season.

Phils have begun trying J.P. Crawford at 3B. Welp, Franco's days are numbered. Not sure how much I like Crawford being moved around, though.
It's bad enough that they're sticking Hoskins in LF so Tommy Joseph can stay in the lineup...

So the PTI guys were discussing how the single season total home runs record is going to be crushed this year. They theorized that the ball is juiced. I think they may be right.
Personally, I don't mind if the ball has been juiced. What is it people used to say? "Chicks dig the long ball" I'd love to see it last long enough for someone to pass Bonds on the career HR list because I'd rather the HR king benefit from a juiced ball rather than being a juiced ballplayer. If it is the ball, then all players have an equal shot to hit a dinger - not just the players who are willing to break the rules and take steroids.
Your thoughts?

Benches clearing three times in a single game... that has to be some kind of record, right?
Then, after being drilled in the head by Betances to start the second clearing, James McCann homers later in the game and it drills a young Yankees fan in the face. Tigers were out for blood today.

Toronto had that many fights in just the 6th inning of a playoff game back in 2015. In don't remember if it was against KC or Texas, but that inning took over an hour.

Pretty sure it was against Texas, and it included Odor decking Bautista.
