I have one last story from this weekend at Camden Yards. On Saturday’s game, the first hitter for the Orioles was Coby Mayo. He struck out swinging. The Phillies fan down the row from me yelled, “SIT DOWN, MUSTARD.” #creativity

Brozoban is a great pickup for the Sox, assuming his arm isn’t about to fall off after being very overused in the Mets pen this season…
Chelsea Janes@chelseajanes.bsky.social · 3d agoMets are trading Huascar Brazoban to the Chicago White Sox In exchange for RHP prospect Gabe Davis and RHP Zach Franklin, according to a person familiar with the deal. @YancenPujols and @Ken_Rosenthal first on it.
The Blue Jays have a one-game series in Chicago on Thursday to make up a rainout LET GAUSMAN START
"The New York Mets may not be able to play a lick, but they're darn good people." "Babe Ruth has got nothing on me. I could show him a thing or two." "I've been watching these girls play since they were young and if they don't do it I'll kick them in the rear." Maybelle is amazing.
OH HEY that’s where Benny B is currently stashed 👀👀👀

Mets radio just called the Skubal return “a lukewarm group of prospects”
Hey @catherinetinker.bsky.social I have a brand new Peralta bobblehead from last weekend’s Dodgers series 👀👀👀

Finally, a Dodgers Take that lines up with the opinion of New Yorkers Of A Certain Age (and their offspring)
Infield Fly Girl@infieldflygrl.online · 4d agoTruly, fuck the Dodgers, but fuck the Dodgers for leaving Brooklyn, not for paying for a pitcher in prospects just so they wouldn't have to face him in the world series
I get that how a prospect was acquired has little input on his present value, but also getting the back to back Cy for guys you got for Matt Beaty and Michael Busch (plus an injured low A guy) is a very funny way to look at it
Aw look at the transaction bot popping in to try and be relevant
MLB Transaction Bot@transactionbot.bsky.social · 4d agoSeattle Mariners traded RHP Luis Castillo to Chicago White Sox for RHP Seranthony Domínguez, C Boston Smith, RF Nolan Jones and cash.
If the other 29 owners actually cared about competitive balance, they’d block Andrew Friedman’s number instead of giving him the best players on their rosters once a year.
The Dodgers got Hope for Michael Busch and Ryan for Matt Beaty and flipped them both for Skubal in the playoffs, basically.
Jeff Passan Bot@jeffpassanbot.bsky.social · 4d agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers are acquiring Tarik Skubal for outfielder Zyhir Hope, right-hander River Ryan and right-hander Brady Smith, sources tell ESPN.
As someone who spends a ton of time at Citifield in Queens, NY, I am going to be consistently lost by the team called the Queens representing LA.
An hour of dead air is definitely a broadcasting choice. Could have had broadcasters educating the public on the players or the league or the rules or literally anything. It’s rough.
Mets are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the ‘86 WS team today, and they’re wearing throwback jerseys for the occasion, which honestly is the only version that they should ever wear imo
MLB@mlbbot.bsky.social · 4d agoMeadow Soprano national anthem?! Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who played Meadow in "The Sopranos," sings The Star-Spangled Banner before the @Mets game!
This is a good idea. (Though if you hang around all the way to the post-credits bit of BRAND NEW DAY, which technically does exist, you will be very annoyed. You can just leave.)

Funny thing about this scrum with Holmes: While most players scattered to get away from the cameras, Luke Weaver was standing at his locker a few feet away, watching and listening intently.
Chelsea Janes@chelseajanes.bsky.social · 4d agoClay Holmes says the current plan is to pitch in a rehab outing in Class-A Brooklyn tomorrow. Said there haven’t been any new extension talks and that he expects to get traded at this point. Also said front office has kept in good communication throughout.
HAPPY WPBL OPENING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE!!!!
