I'm just glad I've got about another month of fondly smiling a the Angel's record before their pitching absolutely implodes. While I more or less jumped ship with Ohtani and moved my fandom to the Dodgers, my father I live with is a lifelong hardcore Dodgers fan. It wasn't hard. But if I've got an AL team to root for? It's still going to be the hapless Angels.

Kris Bryant diagnosed with a degenerative disc condition ![]() https://sports.yahoo.com/article/former-chicago-cubs-mvp-kris-012240193.html quote:The Rockies placed Bryant, the 2016 NL MVP, on the injured list Monday with lumbar degenerative disc disease. According to MLB.com, the Rockies expect Bryant to return at the end of his IL stint. I'm glad he got paid but man what a bummer, I hope he can live a comfortable life after baseball.

I mean, we all have degenerative disk disease. It just means "your back and neck get worse as you age" There's a number of things that are called "disease" that are used differently than the common use, kind of like "theory" means different things to a scientist and a layman.

Seems to be particularly bad for Bryant though as he's had on and off back issues for awhile now.

It's just fresh in my mind because my mother who has spent her whole life terrified of becoming a bent over crooked old lady was bereft after she got diagnosed with DDD and I had to tell her to chill, everyone her age has it.

The Dodgers have already run out of pitchers enough that Landon Knack started last night and Bobby Miller is starting tonight

Bryant has at most 1/5th of the personality required to be a successful broadcaster, which is to say he'd still probably be better than Sutcliffe by sheer virtue of being deadass boring instead of insufferable.

N: Cal Raleigh hit another two home runs tonight, totaling 7 for the season and 100 in his career. V: His PA/HR rate is 18.33, which is only slightly less than Mike Piazza's career rate of 18.14

I like Cal. I hope I never learn about his personal life and political views.

bawfuls posted:dunno how many more chances he’s gonna get, it’s tough to watch It's genuinely baffling. I don't understand how someone who grades out so loving well on all his pitches, who throws a ton of plus-pitch secondaries, can just implode so badly at the drop of a hat. It's like he somehow caught the most bizarre, undefinable case of the yips to ever exist. I hate to say it, but I think it would be good for his career to get a change of scenery. I think Knack and Wrobleski have a lot more upside at this point, as they are young and showing flashes of being good.

We should all take a moment to thank the Cubs for losing yesterday, saving the league from another round of Balk Discourse. I'm willing to take this bullet for the greater good.

I heard there's a rule where relievers have to face a certain minimum number of batters. Seems fine but got me thinking, could the pitcher just start mouthing off at the home plate ump to get tossed in order to trigger a bullpen change that way? Seems like a creative and fun option.

Three batter minimum and that would certainly lead to fine and/or suspension of the pitcher and/or manager.

What if the pitcher just did the ABS helmet tap thing to a particularly pissy ump. Fine would definitely get overturned
