Update!

The Rockies are now 4-25. The 2024 White Sox were 6-23 and were actually 14-30 at one point (they didn't have their 12, 14 and 21 game losing streaks until after this). After playing Atlanta tomorrow, Colorado's upcoming series are SF, Det, SD, Tex, Ari, Phi, NYY, ChC, NYM, Mia, NYM, SF. Only Miami is under .500 (though Arizona is 1 over, Tex is 2 over and Phi 3 over). They've got the same RD of -78 after 29 games as the WS last year. It's likely going to be a rough next 6 weeks for Colorado.

It’s such a shame. They have great fan support and beautiful venue to play.

Death, taxes and another Mike Trout IL stint. 

It’s gone from being disappointed he wasn’t traded to a contender years ago to that contract is a black hole and any contender doing the trade today will regret it. Such a shame.

Judge has a .430 ba right now

That'll teach him to make the easy pick next time

All the "best month ever" talk for Judge is silly when you can look it up and see that it's not

Keith’s moronity is the best part of the booth. But Ron Darling’s subtle Mimbo character also entertains 

[JHBulls]

Say what you will about today’s bullpen implosion, at least we aren’t the White Sox…

 

 

Went on to lose 4-3.

[Tryptamine]

Rockies are now 6-30. That's 27-135 pace. That's almost impossibly terrible. 

[Tryptamine]

Make that 6-31

 

[soccer10k]

Because of how bad the Rockies are, at first glance it seems like the White Sox have improved. But they’re on pace to win only 43 games.

[We Got The Whole 9]

The Braves are only a game under 500 now 

[We Got The Whole 9]

I am blown away that the Tigers have carried over the late momentum they built last year. Tied for the best record in baseball and lead the league in RD.

2 3-run dongs by Javy tonight including the walkoff. El Mago is hitting 320/360/510.

I'm so happy for Javy and hope he keeps it up.  Wondering if the hip issue he got surgery on was really what was causing his poor performance the last couple years.  Or at least how much that played into it.

He's also playing some CF now, and from the brief sample size, it looks like he's been pretty good at at.

Fun night in MLB last night. 3 walkoffs in a 4 minute span.

Orioles are down early in Minnesota.  If they don't come back they'll be 10 games under .500.

Gotta be one of the more disappointing teams in recent history.

Zach Eflin?

[JHBulls]

Just quietly, the Twins are fourth in their division, 2.5 games behind 3rd, after their 9th win in a row.

Can I get a Hail Baseball is a dumb sport?
