Hey, Camargo got a hit

Edit: wrong thread but it’s been long enough to qualify as news

And Hoskins was 2 years older.

I know Riley is due some regression and it will come sooner or later but he's already almost at 1 WAR in 16 or 17 games so even at half this rate the rest of the way it'd be an outrageously productive rookie year.

gently caress that guy -- Ender has "resumed baseball activities"!!! (Honestly that's fine, Camargo could use a reset in Gwinett and even Snitker isn't dumb enough to send Riley back at this point.)

O'Brien sucks. Which is a shame because he co hosts the braves podcast on the Athletic with Eric O'Flaherty and Eric is really insightful but DOB LOVES talking over him

As for Ender, you may as well get him back and make him a super utility guy until you can deal him, maybe send camargo to gwinnett for a couple weeks and tell him to be ready. As good as Inciarte is fielding he's pretty much been Wally Pipped by now

The Mariners have gone 12-33 after the 13-2 start. If they begin trading every veteran who has any value now, do they even get 50 wins? I'd say no.

The A's successfully benched/cut bait on about half of their near/at/below replacement level offseason acquisition garbage and can now beat bad teams, but they will need to do something about the other 3-4 if they want to beat good teams.

Chapman and Olsen have been mashing pretty hard this week, but yeah things have not looked good against the AAAA Astros squad. Been kind of living/dying by dinger.
