Lance Lynn did NOT like Jazz Chisholm Jrs bunt single after a Burger HR…so naturally, after another Burger bomb, he bunted for a single AGAIN. And stole a base.
San Diego acquired 4 pitchers at the deadline. Tanner Scott, Jason Adam, Martin Perez, Bryan Hoeing. Together, they have a 1.43 ERA (7 ER over 44 IP). AJ Preller baby…
The current xBA leaders:
- Mason Miller (.086)
- Adam Ottavino (.115)
- Reed Garrett (.121)
- Jake Diekman (.133)
- Luis Gil (.138)
- Alex Vesia (.145)
- Edwin Diaz (.147)
Mike Trout is officially out for the season. Once again robbed of a full year of his talent…
He’ll be 33 in 6 days. I fear we’ll never seen him in the playoffs again.
It’s a damn shame for baseball.
Jackson Merrill has 7 HR, 13 RBI, 2 SB, and a .940 OPS in the month of June. At age 21! With Imanaga struggling as of late, he looks to be the NL ROTY favorite.
I know I’m SUPER late, but I promised a 4,000 follower giveaway! I love y’all!

Extra entry if you sub to website in bio.
Nolan Schanuel is 5-for-10 with zero strikeouts to start his spring...this is a guy who got on base in all 29 of his first games last yr. The Angels 1B is a dark horse ROTY.

I’m all for Joe Kelly messing with hitters but anything above the shoulders is not cool. Brush ‘em off the plate all you want, but let’s not headhunt.
Prospect of the day
#8
: Matt Shaw, No. 1 prospect in the Cubs system…
In 560 career MiLB at-bats: 26 HR, 43 SB, .885 OPS, 70-gr hitter, ‘23 1st rd pick.
5’9” — reminds me of Dustin Pedroia.
After the addition of Alex Wood, the A's rotation features JP Sears, Paul Blackburn, Luis Medina, Mason Miller, and Wood...could this be a top 30 rotation in MLB?
Jackson Merrill just made a full extension diving catch on a line drive that went 105mph with an xBA of .590…he’s just 20 and was supposed to be a shortstop.
I wrote an article yesterday morning about Vinnie Pasquantino struggling BAD…naturally he’s gone 6-for-8 with a HR, 8 RBI since. Who should I reverse jinx next?
Way too early free agent predictions:
- Juan Soto (NYY)
- Corbin Burnes (NYM)
- Blake Snell (SF)
- Alex Bregman (SEA)
- Max Fried (TEX)
- Anthony Santander (STL)
- Pete Alonso (HOU)
The fact that the Rays are 54-52 and SELLING, while the 38-68 Rockies are STAGNANT says all I need to know. Some clubs are light years ahead of others…
