I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
I for one at shocked that the hands down best team in baseball is the best team in baseball.

I'm half convinced it only got called because the umps are salty about players being vocally mad about them this season. The ump union just issued a statement hitting back against players being vocally upset about the way they've suddenly started enforcing the Posey rule this week after not really enforcing it much at all for like a decade.

Angels fans: is there any reason to think the Angels might do anything to push back any Ohtani starts? The Angels are coming through Toronto and I am trying to time up if Ohtani is pitching (looks like it'd be Friday, I think).

cool, didn't know this but Elvis Andrus had a plate appearance clause where if he got over 550 or whatever it would have triggered a player option for next year. thankfully the A's sat him a lot to let call ups play and cut him before Andrus put poor broke owner Fisher on the street (only worth 3b or so, he's the poorest billionaire at the gala oh no). congrats to the athletics ownership and office doing everything they can to piss off their fans

He's scheduled to start tomorrow and next Saturday, I believe, but his start tomorrow might get rained out so your best bet is probably Saturday or Sunday

Well I hope it's rained out because Saturday is the Jays' "92 Celebration day" and tickets are closing in on $100.

Ohtani just hammered a ball into his right foot, wouldn't be surprised if it gets pretty sore and he might miss a day. He wears a pad but he got himself right on the big toe which wasn't protected.

I've never understood Brisbee's need to defend Posey's manly courage on this narrative. In the "do nothing" years Bochy still lobbied like hell for it, the Giants org gets a lot of credit/blame for it passing and they probably wouldn't have bothered if their star player hadn't been injured in a collision.

So maybe some fans (probably of the STL and LA varieties but still) revise history and pretend Buster is some spineless wimp who cried to the Commissioner after his anky hurt. Oh well. There's people all the way back to Ray Fosse who have taken career-ending injuries in meaningless games from home plate collisions, honestly splitting hairs over who is to blame for this seems like conceding to people who think things were better the way they were than are now. This is one of those "thanks Obama" things where I say progress is a good thing regardless of who you want to call the catalyst.

Bonds in 04 had a .609 OBP, largely because of 120 IBBs (although he also had 112 unintentional walks).

He also had an .812 SLG, but yeah anything OPS related got completely broken. 233 wRC+ which obviously is ridiculous but significantly lower than the OPS+.

Rosenthal says he expects Atlanta to release Ozuna and eat the money, but not "until the legal process is resolved." About what I expected; Rosenthal didn't say but I'd assume he won't be on the postseason roster if he is still on the team at that point.

A-Rod won in 2003 on a Rangers team that was 71-91, which is almost the exact pace the Angels are on now (.438 winning % instead of .437), and finished last in the division.
