Weird. I could understand if the Lakers were in it.

.429!

Great move by Blue Jays to replace Tyler Heineman with Teddy Heineman.

How much better defensively is Mike Trout than Jorge Soler?

Irrelevant. Please keep Trout DHing for the rest of the season. Or maybe the rest of his career. Whatever it takes to keep him in the lineup

Chase DeLauter, OF, 0
Justin Crawford, OF, +1
Christian Moore, 2B, 0
Kevin Alcantara, OF, -5
Tre Morgan, 1B/OF, 0
Brady House, 3B, -3

Matt Shaw 3B +4
Carson Williams, SS, +4
Emmanuel Rodriguez, CF, -4
Cole Young, SS, -2, 2B +2
Alex Freeland, SS, +1, 3B +2
Owen Caissie, OF, -1

Nick Kurtz, 1B, 0
Coby Mayo 3B -5, 1B +1

Don’t think he’ll stick at third

I’ll share ratings for the guys in the top 100 prospects. I don’t have catcher ratings.

Roman Anthony, OF, -1
Jordan Lawler, 3b/2b/ss +1
Marcelo Mayer, SS, +3
Jac Caglianone, OF, 0

Small sample size on Jack

Winkler has 8 defensive runs saved.

Ran the defensive ratings for AAA players today. Top defender is 3B Jack Winkler, of the Marlins. He’s 26, has played all around the infield. Average AAA bat. 15 for 15 on bases.

Mike Trout back in the lineup. Fingers crossed.

Rooting for the Blue Jays, nothing is more frustrating than the series they play in Tampa. Jays have several players who make more money than the entire TB lineup. But they can’t do anything against them. I’d rather see them lose to the Yankees. At least when Judge hits 900 feet of HR, I understand

Robert Prevost elected as first American pope and takes the name Leo XIV — CNN Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of the United States has been elected the 267th pope and has stepped onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica as the new leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics.

As the son of a Robert Francis, I am disappointed. This man could have been Pope Bob the first.

Rooting for the Lakers, obviously to anyone who knows me. But a lot of respect for Julius Randle. Dude came into the league as a dinosaur. A 15 pt, 8 rebound low poster. An 80s player. He has transformed his game to make himself an asset in the modern NBA

That would be…efficient government. Considering how every country that has it somehow pays less for healthcare than the US does

Ravens need to work on their defense. I didn’t even know there was April football but apparently they gave up 24 to the Bengals.

Just got to say I love Charles Barkley. As a kid growing up outside Philly, I saw him do the iconic coast to coast dunk. Not live at the game, but watching TV as it happened. Now he’s got the Chuck GPT commercials. 40 years, the man has always been entertaining

White Sox 2-9. After losing 121 and trading their best player, easy to say “here we go again”

But this team hasn’t been that bad, only outscored by 7 runs so far. They are 0-5 in one run games,

Angels 3-1!

Can we shut down the rest of the season and go straight to playoffs?

Mookie losing 20 pounds sounds terrible. He doesn’t have extra pounds to lose. Hope he takes his time and comes back at full strength

What player is that?

Junior Caminero:
Old park 260/311/449 18 HR
New 265/315/463 19 HR

Drew Rasmussen ERA from 3.57 to 3.75, not as extreme

My projections were not big fans of Luis Severino before, a 4.96 ERA.

With new park factors, that jumps to 5.69

Old projections for A’s
Rooker 246/327/469 26 HR

Butler 251/316/431 19 HR

New
Rooker 258/343/514 30 HR
Butler 261/327/470 22 HR

My guess is Tampa will be one of the best hitters parks in the AL. But Sacramento will be the best. Maybe a Rockie-level effect
