At this point, it’s got to be an upset if it isn’t Adbert:

If MLB is pretending the ball is the same, it’s not getting fixed.

Or he’s just horsefeathering with everyone: [tweet] [/tweet] Whoops.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BixNSEwhhpR/ The Blue Jays are playing the Yankees in NYC and he’s at JFK.

Not a great 3rd inning so far, either. Bases juiced after 2 line drive singles and a walk. Zero Ks. Got out of that jam unscathed but he starts the 4th with a double.

Adbert had a 1-2-3 first but got roughed up in the second for 4 runs on 2 2-run home runs.

Man. Being swept at home by the Reds in a 4-game series is rough. And Rich Hill got another blister.

He's probably making his debut Saturday in the DH, unless this postponement screws it up.(I doubt it will) He’ll be on standard 4 days rest because of today’s rainout so I still assume he’s the most likely guy to start the other game in the doubleheader.

Well, any team that does draft him high and sign him will force him to stick to baseball. That seems like one reason most don’t think he’ll sign this year

YCPB: Dakota Mekkes gave up an earned run.

Adbert and Iowa PPD.

That’s my theory as to why his start was pushed back to today.

The Dodgers have lost 3 straight at home to the Reds and are 16-23.

Calling a triple play here. I meant a near triple.

Albertos has a 10.45 K/9...and a 20.9 BB/9.

Aroldis Chapman’s velocity is down. Was working around 96 today with horrible control.

Garcia made BA’s top 10 sleeper prospects from the 2017-18 class who are trending up:

in one fewer game The Braves lost yesterday so the Cubs are +2 for the best RD in the NL.

Rucker has his best game of the season and TT is focusing on Underwood here.
