This is way better given the context. And the fact that it was just long ago enough that it probably caught him by surprise.

Blows my mind that Bobby Witt Jr. has already posted 7.0 fWAR through 103 games. That's 11 fWAR/162 pace. The only thing that's going keep him from the HoF is health.

Dylan Cease threw a no-no against the Nats

That makes 2 hits allowed over his last 3 GS/22 IP.

He was absolutely awful early on, but he's been tearing it up lately and look at this gem tonight

Breslow must think they can get him right.

So the Rays brass pretty much admits even with a state-of-the-art stadium they'll never be a hot ticket. I'm surprised by only a 30K capacity.

I know logistics make it tough but this is a long long long overdue change.

Mike Trout's punishment for taking the Angels' money is that he'll never be healthy again.

Witt Jr. now hitting 350/400/600. Dude is a horsefeathers monster.

2x Cy Young winner Blake Snell throws his first career complete game.

 

 

Oh right, it was also a no-hitter.

It's not just his first complete game. It's the first time he's ever managed 8 IP.

If the Red Sox don't play Jansen in that game it will be very disappointing.

Haha that's amazing

500M is a damn bargain at this point. It's crazy how good he is with the bat. Despite providing huge negative value with the glove and negative value on the bases, He's still going to be somewhere are 37 career fWAR in his age 25 season.

Shohei is really gonna go out there and add a 40/40 season to his resume. If he gets hot he could push a 50/50. He is absolutely unreal. And he only has 4 CS. 

 

He is the stuff of legend. I fully expect him to pitch better than ever under the Dodgers guidance as well.

Went to the River Cats game yesterday. Highlight might have been seeing a guy in a Jason Motte jersey. I didn’t ask him the thought process behind that purchase.

There’s always a random name you recognize at these AAA games and the Bees started Jake Marisnick, Keston Hiura and Cole Tucker.

1 HR and 3 SB in the next 12 days and he'll go 40-40 before September. It's wild how good this dude is. And we don't even get to see him gun down runners from the OF, which I'm sure he'd excel at if he actually played out there.
