I never heard of Jay Bruce until the Indians picked him up at the trade deadline, but what a pick-up this guy has been.

He's been around a while, had a good career with the Reds, 250 hitter with 30 HR & 95 RBI.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
On a night when Miguel Sano crunches two home runs, Byron Buxton upstages him with this. 13.85 seconds! I couldn't get to first base in that time.

Joey Votto is a guy falling far under the radar this year, due to being on a club with atrocious pitching. He is an MVP candidate on a contending team.
Batting .315 with 32 HRs, 86 RBIs, 100 walks, a MLB best OPS of 1.045, and second in fielding of NL 1rst basemen. Great season, considering he
knows the season is a lost cause!

If Grandy ever plays for the Giants, he will be the first player ever to play for the 4 major teams (not including 19th century early teams) to be NYC (area) teams.

Not sure a fashion statement will have the desired effect. The players have had a gripes with the owners & they settled it by going on strike.
That said, the umps better make sure that they are performing at the "high standards" of which they speak. Otherwise baseball would be better served by looking elsewhere for "on-the-field rule enforcers."
You see, it ALWAYS takes two to tango.

They need to focus on being less about showing up players and getting calls right.

A junior league player (ages 12-15) for Pennsylvania, in their World Series championship game, the center fielder, just made perhaps the greatest catch I have ever seen at any level of the game in my almost 70 years of watching baseball. I've watched the replay a bunch and shake my head every time! The only highlight of their beatdown by Chinese Taipei.
This will most assuredly make ESPN's major league web gems tonight as #1, and will light up you tube as well.

What the hell happened to the Diamondbacks? They're not putting up much of a fight against my Twins this weekend. I thought this series would be a battle, not a blowout sweep.

I have a very strong feeling that they've given up in Flushing. A while back I thought they were going to make a serious run against the league leaders. Now I think the only team they're threatening is Philadelphia.
Look out below...........

Pretty wild one in Detroit today. Terrible calling of balls and strikes, hit batters, fights, multiple ejections and an umpiring crew who completely lost control of the game. They can take their white wrist bands and stick them up their asses.

The only consistent offense the Metropolitans have, Michael Conforto, most likely is out for the season. Reason: dislocated shoulder swinging the bat.
Possibly related, there's word that in Terry Collins' office the furniture is bolted to the floor and nothing breakable is allowed. This includes every remaining player.
But we all must look for the proverbial silver lining and I've found it. Their translator. Hummana-hummana!
