I also don’t really understand the perception that Pete Alonso was on his knees begging to be a career Met and David Stearns spit in his face. He turned down an extension! He hired Scott Boras to get him his bag. And he got it. Good for him!

not lost on a lot of us that someone got ejected from a game because of a hat that wasn’t violating any MLB rules while multiple Giants earlier this year did violate written MLB rules pertaining to uniforms and were allowed to stay in the game (and received zero discipline from the league later)
Good summary and clip of what happened in the 6th inning of last night's Cardinals Rockies game
Salvy teaching Doug Eddings the bottom of the strike zone. Over and Over and Over again. But Eddings refuses to learn. 😂
I like Noah Cameron, but a pitcher is never as good as they look against the Angels.
All 21 whiffs from Noah Cameron's one-hit complete-game shutout against the Angels!
Today is the one-year anniversary of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s last regular season home run at Rogers Centre. He's made 333 plate appearances at home since this swing. #BlueJays

Is there a better feeling in fantasy baseball than picking up a player in FAAB on Sunday night and having them homer in your lineup on Monday?
The #Brewers pitching lab is real and can't be stopped. I investigated what makes them so good and what we can learn from it. 🧐 Some answers, a lot more questions. Tease below, full video in thread! 🐦 https://x.com/LanceBroz/status/2071754046839394351
Can someone help me figure out how Riley Greene is hitting .285 but has just 34 RBI and 41 runs scored in 84 games?

Kyle Harrison on the Brewers: "They do a good job of seeing you for who you are". If that's not a sign of an elite organization I don't know what is.
"Membership allows us to continue to grow and improve the site, providing a source of revenue immune from macro forces like AI or baseball’s labor dispute, and more stable than advertising... it’s incumbent upon all of us to support writers, artists and publications we love, or risk losing them. "

My phone wouldn't let me take a screenshot of the app to share this sentiment, but this was an awesome broadcast! 10/10 would subscribe to a service that converted every MLB broadcast to this graphics style.
sorry to be a huge crank but the people complaining about this broadcast are my sworn enemies now. the graphics team alone should get an Emmy.
This is the third June 9th ever to feature a Cardinals-Mets game. On the first, in 1963, Tim McCarver hit an inside-the-park grand slam in the 2nd game of a doubleheader in Queens. On the second, in 1985, Terry Pendleton hit an inside-the-park grand slam in the 2nd game of a doubleheader in Queens.

Every Mets fan knows, when Pete is going right, he's crushing the ball to the opposite field. Just ask Devin Williams!
Pete Alonso's 8 opposite-field home runs for Orioles this season are the 2nd-highest total of his MLB career. He had 10 oppo shots last year for Mets. 61.5% would easily be his career-high percentage for opposite-field homers. It was 26.3% last season.
Is it controversial to say that Mlodzinski deserved to stay in the rotation in Pittsburgh over Chandler?
Is it possible to go 82-0 if this roster is 71-11?
This team might only have gone 67-15 but it'd be the most fun starting lineup in the history of sports
I am now accepting applications to explain this to my wife
