Over the weekend, Adrian suffered a traumatic head injury.

Although Mr. Beltre insisted he was fine, he is currently in intensive care awaiting emergency surgery.

Foul play was the cause of the injury, and a suspect is currently in custody.

Leon (pictured) is the prime suspect in the attack due to the fact that this rear end in a top hat did the exact same thing a year ago.

Can someone explain to me how Acuna has decided "Hey I just won't ever strike out now"?

I can't think of any player that has ever moved their K rate like that.

As perfect a final Tungsten Arm achievement as that would be, Corey Seager is only about 2 PAs short of qualifying and is currently batting .347. If he can stop getting injured he's running away with the AL batting title.

The only player in MLB history with a higher slugging rate in Cincinnati (minimum 100 PAs) than Ian Happ is Barry Bonds. :eng101:

The SB leader last year had 41. I have to think this is because of the pitch clock making it harder to hold guys on rather than the couple of inches in distance from the increased base size

When the GDT is kinda dead, usually my first thought is indeed "where's the Cubsposting, eh?".

The two disengagements rule is a major factor as well I would think

Yeah I guess I mentally rolled that into the ptich clock for some reason. "Harder to hold a baserunner" vs "it's shorter"

I guess maybe they would have implemented this rule if not for the pitch clock, but I keep it mentally connected to the pitch clock, because it's necessary to make the pitch clock work.

September is here, the Red Sox are probably not going to make it to the post season. I'm trying to find out what their tragic number is.

Also, why didn't they sell more pieces at the deadline?

Esteury Ruiz has 53 bags in way less plate appearances than Acuña. He could totally make a race if it if the A's would stop benching him for silly reasons like being a "bad hitter" who doesn't "get on base"

Pinch run him every single game, have him attempt a steal every single time. I don't think the A's are going to be playing much baseball that matters this year. Might as well have fun with it.
