the ups and downs of a full season are on full display. Astros/Redsox/A's all struggling. Yankees look life a whole different team since the start of the second half.

Padres trailing the Reds now. I really thought the Giants would fade but keep on winning. This might be one hell of a post season.

I just want my squad to be fully healthy going into the post season. We all know the playoffs is a crap shoot.

Pitchers hitting is stupid. And fukk Chone Figgins.

It is 9 times out of 10 it’s a free out. Hope they do the DH thing next year.

Universal DH is one of the few rule changes I've heard all old-timers say they'd be in favor of

I've heard it a few times on the Bret Boone podcast. He's had a ton of good guests from my favorite era (90s-mid 2000s) who most people wouldn't interview or get otherwise (Sheffield, Albert Belle (2parter), Doc Gooden, Jim Edmonds, Richie Sexson, Garret Anderson, Eric Davis, Brian Jordan). Shiiit a bunch of black players lol

Zaidi literally called that shyt to Bay Area media. He is moreso against relievers at trade deadline because the enviornment and staff might take a different approach and that throws off the pitcher. What did Sox have to give up for him?

Yo I don’t look at baseball I had no idea it was a dude out there who was an elite level slugger and a winning pitcher. I haven’t seen anything like that in my life time. Why isn’t dude receiving more hype?

Jose Abreu having a bit of a down year but still might lead the AL in RBIs for a 3rd straight season

Elite level pitcher too, his splitter is like the best pitch in baseball and his secondary pitches are great too. But yeah shytty team, MLB being shytty at marketing.
